It’s Episode 62 of The TCP and this episode is more Christmassy than a jolly old elf easting a christmas pudding made of holly.
We start off with the abysmal Carry on Christmas. Filled with smut and innuendo and very little of the actual story this was the first of 4 Christmas specials from the Carry on Films team.
If you really want to watch it here’s a link:
Then it’s time for Do You Hear What I Hear with Bob Baker. This episode he’s looking at the word ‘Nick’.
Then it’s the quiz and we all how much you’re enjoying that.
This episode we look at the tradition of The Hunting of the Wren where, on the Isle of Man, and in parts of Wales and Ireland, people would go out at Christmas, catch a wren and then parade it round the village begging for money.
I’m pleased to say the tradition is still going to this day, but they no longer hunt a real bird.
This episode’s recommendation is The Allusionist Podcast with Helen Zaltzman, a podcast that talks about language. It’s a great listen and I know you’ll enjoy it.

Santa makes a list and checks it twice, so we should also. Making a list seems rudimentary, but it works. Whether it’s for shopping, prepping the house for the holidays, or personal goals for this Christmas, make a list and be intentional. In this podcast, we will discuss how list-making can improve your holiday outlook.

Ken Kessler from the Sounds of Christmas talks about the passing of Olivia Newton-John. He talks about her stellar successes with a long list of hits, gold records, platinum records and Grammys. But mostly, he focuses on her beautiful catalog of Christmas music that she has left for us.

This edition of Stocking Stuffers is unique, in that the episode of TV we’re covering is only 7 minutes long. “All Through The House” is the lone Christmas episode of Netflix’s animated anthology series Love Death & Robots. It’s also a perfect fit for our show’s often macabre and off-kilter grasp of the holidays.
But since the episode is so short, Joe and Bradford take the opportunity to discuss a wide array of subjects. Bradford’s experiments with DIY salsa, Brach’s latest attempt to ruin candy corn forever, and the recent news of HBO Max’s impending demise. We cover a lot of ground on this episode, and we hope you’re okay with that!

Kick off your week the right way and journey with Julia, Thom, Anthony, and first time guest, the incredible Natalie Bickel – author of “The Christmas Clue” – to the magical land beyond the Wardrobe to discuss the 2005 adaptation of C.S. Lewis’ classic, “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe“!
While in the story the White Witch may have cursed Narnia to experience an eternal winter where it’s never Christmas, the four hosts bring plenty of holiday cheer to this episode as they gush over this classic tale that all four of them are in love with. Filled with plenty of background information on the author, plenty of behind-the-scenes trivia regarding the movie, and quotes galore, this is a laugh-out-loud festive time you want to be sure not to miss- especially since they also discuss recent pop-culture news, including David Krumholtz’s long awaited return to the North Pole as Santa’s head elf, Bernard, in the upcoming Disney + series, “The Santa Clauses“!
So blast that air conditioning to simulate those fast approaching Ber Months, relax with your favorite drink, and enjoy! As always, thanks for your love and support, y’all! 🎅🏻 🎄 🎁 🦌 ⛄️ 🦉 🔔 🚂 🤶🏻 ❄️ 🎀
