After a disastrous Senate hearing, B.Z.’s associate, Towser, bombards him with even more bad news. Then, Santa is informed that Patch has left the North Pole. Plus, we talk about John Lithgow’s teeth, some career highlights of actor Jeffrey Kramer who plays Towzer, some other actors who were considered for the role of B.Z., and how much time has passed between Patch leaving the North Pole and Santa finding out! Join us as we discuss Minute 63 of Santa Claus: The Movie (1985).
It’s a special Bonus Episode, where we introduce you to some of our friends in the Christmas podcast community. In this show, Rikki chats with Glen Warren, a certified baker with the “Seasons Eatings” podcast.
Todd Killian of Christmas Clatter Podcast stops by to join the elves in a….lively discussion of the 2007 Patrick Swayze film, Christmas in Wonderland, quite possibly our most contentious episode with a guest to date. Poor Todd sustains a barrage of attacks from Anthony for his love of this movie – will his love survive this episode?
Where do you land – Team Anthony or Team Todd?

It’s about an old lady who spends all her time cooking and cleaning her house then one day she gets a visit from the 3 kings and they stay at her house and tell her about the baby they’re going to visit and… hang on, maybe you should just listen to the episode.

The recommendation this week is Kath and Kim. It’s a great sitcom from Australia and is very funny. If you’re in Australia you’ve probably seen it, but if not, it’s on Netflix.

Due to life getting in the way prior to Julia departing for Florida on a family vacation, the elves came up one episode short to cover her absence! As such, there is obviously no new episode this week. However, we didn’t want to leave y’all hanging, so we’ve decided to share one of our Patreon-Exclusive “Christmas Movie Commentaries” segments with y’all! In our “Christmas Movie Commentaries”, the elves provide a commentary as they gather to watch one of the marquee Christmas films that everyone loves – in this instance, “Elf”. The hosts will count you down and let you know when to press play on whatever device on which you’re watching your movie, but if you just want to listen and not watch along, this is still a fun episode to brighten your week with a bit of holiday cheer! So settle in, queue up that Blu-Ray player, and enjoy a trip through the Candy Cane forest to New York City with your favorite elves!
And don’t worry, next Monday we’ll be back with a brand new episode in which we’re joined by Todd Killian of “Christmas Clatter” to discuss the 2007 film, “Christmas in Wonderland” (his choice of film) and this upcoming Thursday with the next chapter of “Another Christmas Story” which Steven Beech, a.k.a. Disco54, will be reading to y’all!
Introducing Christmas Clatter Cares, where Todd will highlight charities and nonprofits, hoping that it will keep Christmas’s giving spirit alive throughout the year. Todd is joined by Jeff Deskovic of The Deskovic Foundation. Jeff spent 16 in prison, wrongfully convicted for rape and murder. Jeff tells his story and how now he is helping to get those wrongfully convicted rightfully released. Please consider supporting The Deskovic Foundation.

Welcome to a special bonus episode of Holly Jolly X’masu! In this episode, Gerry D. from the “Totally Rad Christmas!” podcast joins me to talk about the 1987 album, “G.M.O. Christmas Songs.” It’s a great collection of video game-style Christmas songs.
This was a fun album and one I desperately wanted to get on vinyl, not just because of how amusing it would have been to have this all-digital album in an analog format, but because the vinyl came with a poster of the cover. I missed out on the auctions I found for those, so I had to settle for the CD.
Featured on the album are songs arranged by Tomoji, Nobuyuki Nakamura, Yasuhiko Fukuda, and Noritaka Ubukata. Their clever arrangements are sure to appeal to anyone who grew up playing video games in the 80s.
As always, thanks for listening. For my regular episode later this month, I’ll be covering Ryoko Moriyama’s 1969 album, “Ryoko’s Christmas.” It’s the first of her four full Christmas LP’s, and one you don’t want to miss
Any feedback on this episode would be appreciated. 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. Any donations received will be put towards purchasing new Japanese Christmas music to review for future episodes. You can also find me on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. And if you get a chance, leave me a review on iTunes. Thanks!
