Ken Kessler from the Sounds of Christmas talks to singer/songwriter Corinne Cook about her original Christmas song “A Soldier’s Holiday”, about serving in the military and being away from home at Christmas, all from the point-of-view of a woman in the military. Corinne also talks about her latest music, and her plans for her Christmas album!

Welcome back! We are another week closer to Thanksgiving and we are back covering another episode of Everybody Loves Raymond! This week we turn to Season 1 to cover “Turkey or Fish” from the show.
In this episode, Matt discusses the pure vitriol he has for Marie, why he understands the difficult spot Ray and Debra are in and why some of these jokes didn’t really hit – including a strange joke about Pearl Harbor. As always, be sure to leave us a review on Apple podcasts and you can get a FREE TGI Podcast sticker.

On this week’s episode, we attempt to explain the weirdo madness of the 1985 Rankin/Bass special The Life & Adventures of Santa Claus! Based on a story by “Wizard of Oz” author L. Frank Baum, this special features a council of immortal wood nymphs, an army of invisible trolls, and an elf that may or may not have inspired a character from The Legend of Zelda. Oh, and somewhere in all that there’s the origin story of Santa Claus.
Also in this week’s show, we take some time to sample a few new holiday libations, break down what it means to be a Christmas movie, and share our pitches for The Christmas Chronicles 3!

Happy Monday, Christmas fanatics! Sorry this episode is dropping a few hours late – we had some technical difficulties with one of our audio tracks! But, we’re hoping this is still early enough where we can make your Monday!
Can you believe we’re already halfway through November as of today? To celebrate the occasion, we are covering the brand new, 2021 original Hallmark film, “Next Stop, Christmas” which features Christopher Lloyd and Lea Thompson! As we’re all aware, Hallmark films are very hit or miss for our elves, and they all tend to like different ones. So how exactly does this one fare? You’ll have to tune in to find out the answer to this question and hear much more interesting discussion related to things besides the movie itself!
So, settle in with your favorite holiday-themed beverage, kick back, and enjoy this fun episode! As always, thanks for your love and support, y’all!

Hello everyone! In today’s episode I share a listener memory that’s an emotional one. Fan of the show Katie shares her memory of spending Christmas 2010 with her niece who had leukemia.
After I share that, I give a few tips on how to celebrate the holidays after a loved one has passed away. This can be a difficult conversation, but it’s something that many of us have experienced.
Then, author Ed Daly stops by to talk about his new work, The Christmas Book: The Ultimate Guide to Your Favorite Holiday. We talk his book, the origin and development of Christmas traditions, and of course our favorite Christmas books and stories. Check out the Cozy Christmas YouTube channel to see the November video in my Cozy Christmas Book Corner series to get my review of his book and a couple of others that I read last month.

Before inflatables, there were blow molded Christmas decorations. These plastic light up figures still adorn some lawns and are a wonderful decor. And they are also highly collectible. Hear more from a blow mold historian, restorer and collector.
In this episode, we dive into the ins and outs of Christmas mysteries. Starting off, we have some unanswered questions from Christmas movies that surely you’ve been wanting to hear an answer for, then we dive into a couple of real-life mysteries around the Christmas season. Finally, we have my personal recommendations for some Christmas mystery movies, a TV episode, and several books for you to enjoy this holiday season! At the end of the episode, we kick off a new story from The Lost Years of Santa Claus which reveals the secrets behind why Santa looks so different in different places around the globe.
A big shout out to one of my best friends in the world – Brian Shepard (link) and JerriEl Wiliams for the wonderful background music throughout the podcast.
