Welcome to episode 64 of Holly Jolly X’masu! In the first of my “Big In Japan” episodes, I’ll be discussing American figure skater Janet Lynn’s 1973 album, “A Joyful Christmas With Janet.”
I’ve always been intrigued by the “Big In Japan” phenomenon. It wasn’t something I gave a lot of thought to when I first started collecting Japanese Christmas music, though. However, not long after I started checking the various Japanese sites for other albums I could get, I started seeing Janet Lynn’s album show up. I had no idea who she was at the time, but I was curious when I saw her album because it seemed a bit out of place. The album’s cover, with Janet’s face smiling out from the middle of a wreath, didn’t fit in with most of the Japanese albums I was seeing.
After a small bit of research, I was able to uncover the basics of Janet’s life and her “Big In Japan” status. I decided to get her album and that I would eventually cover it as part of a series of “Big In Japan” episodes. It took me nearly two more years, but I finally got the other records I was hoping to cover.
I hope you’ve enjoyed learning about Janet Lynn and my “Big In Japan” overview. Join me back here next week as I talk about the Ventures and their 1965 Christmas album. Then join me on the 25th for the real highlight of the month, when I’ll be discussing several other artists who were “Big In Japan.” I have a few really rare and enjoyable records lined up and I’m sure you’ll enjoy them.
As always, any feedback on this episode would be appreciated. If have any suggestions, or if you’d like to recommend a song or album for a future episode, drop me a line and let me know.
Remember, I’ve added a button to my Ko-fi page. If you’d like to support me one cup of coffee at a time, a donation is only $3. I’ve also opened a Redbubble store.

Christmas Alphabet is about Christmas, all year round, all in alphabetical order.
Every two weeks we look at Christmas history, stories and music, starting with one letter of the alphabet. We have a world-wide view from a British perspective.
The podcast is written and hosted by Wayne Clarke – an author, broadcaster and Baptist pastor in Manchester, UK.
This time we zip through to the end of the alphabet and the letter Z (that’s zed in British English). We have Christmas with a Z, including the controversial figure of Zwarte Piet, the character Zuzu and the songs Zither Carol and ‘Zat You, Santa Claus?. And so our alphabet is complete.
Keep the feed open for bonus episodes of the Christmas Alphabet podcast in 2022, and more to come in 2023.

The holidays, for most of us in the Northern hemisphere, are filled with cold evenings, frosted window panes, and many get togethers. So, it’s not hard to imagine one may get a gift from another that you wouldn’t enjoy, a bit of the sniffles. To soothe your throat, you make this warm alcoholic drink and settle down under a thick blanket. This beverage has traveled the world, from India, to Scotland, and over to the United States. We’re exploring the history and origins of the hot toddy.

Those of a certain age remember those classic C7 incandescent Christmas bulbs and the soft glow they produced. Sure, LEDs are longer lasting and more energy efficient, but they’re just not the same. Michigan artist David Andora is the founder of Tru-Tone, a maker of LED lights that are indistinguishable from the real thing. I recently spoke with David about the company’s unlikely origins, its recent viral success, and a certain music star who was blamed for cleaning out their inventory.
