Christmas Past Podcast – Behind every Christmas tradition is a story, often a forgotten one. Every year as we put up a tree and pour the eggnog, we’re continuing generations-old narratives, while being mostly unaware of their starting chapters. Join Brian Earl to explore the fascinating stories behind the most wonderful time of the year. It’s equal parts nerdy deep dive and warmhearted celebration. Think: NPR meets Clement Clarke Moore!

Covered in rich royal icing, sprinkles, or just plain, this sweet treat is found on every Christmas table. Round or cut into intricate shapes, this portable morsel is the basis for hundreds of variations. Its rich history starts in the middle east and travels the world over to settle in the United States. We’re exploring the history and origins of the sugar cookie.
An extra mini-episode of The Christmas Alphabet Podcast.
Christmas Alphabet is about Christmas, all year round, all in alphabetical order.

In today’s episode I take a brief look at where the tradition of eating turkey comes from, and discover a few traditional Christmas meals from around the world.
Then I read Louisa May Alcott’s short story, “A Christmas Turkey, and How It Came”. Does this old story still have a revelant message for us today? Indeed it does. But it’s also a wonderfully sweet story to listen to while you slowly digest your Thanksgiving Dinner.
Also, our 100th episode is fast approaching! If you have a story, memory, tradition, favorite recipe or any questions for the Q&A segment on our 100th, get it to me asap at any of my social medias or email me at cozychristmaspodcast at gmail dot com!
Plus, listen for some plans I have for the coming 2023 season… enjoy!

Happy Thanksgiving, Christmas Fanatics! Can you believe it’s Turkey day already? We certainly can’t! This year is flying by! But, we didn’t want to let this oft-overlooked holiday pass without expressing our gratitude to each and every one of you for all of the love and support you show our little show all year ’round!
As such, we present to you this special bonus episode in which Julia, Thom, and Anthony discuss the cult-classic, “Thankskilling“! Listen as the elves break down one of the worst, the cheapest, and most baffling movies they’ve covered since “Tis the Podcast” began! Is this a case of a film being “so bad it’s good”? Or is there nothing redeemable about this story of teenage stereotypes being hunted down by a bad muppet of a Turkey named Turkie? You’ll just have to tune in to find out! Because despite the subject matter, this is one hysterical episode you want to make sure not to miss!
So, tonight, after you’ve eaten more than your fair share of Thanksgiving dinner, put your feet up, unbutton those trousers, and enjoy this fun episode!
And, once again, Happy Thanksgiving, everybody! We hope your holiday was filled with love, happiness, gratitude, family, friends, food, drinks, parades, football, “Friends” episodes, and “Peanuts” holiday specials!

Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Black Friday! We decided to drop a special *bonus* episode to kick off the holiday shopping season!
In this episode, Matt gushes over his love of the show and how quickly he binged it, his own history with Black Friday shopping and, as always, he determines whether or not this should be deemed a holiday classic! So if you are heading out to the store or need to get in the shopping mindset be sure to give this one a listen!
