This traditional dessert has been around for centuries and is considered part of Japanese culture. It has connections to Buddhism and now can be found all over the country. You can get it any time of the year, but at Christmas there are special holiday themes and designs. We’re exploring the history and origins of wagashi.

That’s right, all three elves are back this week after most of the month of June spent apart! To celebrate the occasion, they sit down, travel to Boston, and discuss the “Frasier” revival’s second Christmas episode (and, as it turns out, series finale!): Season 2, Episode 10’s: “Father Christmas”! We can guarantee this is one fun, laugh-filled discussion because even a lesser episode of “Frasier” is still better than a lot of content out there!
So settle back, relax, enjoy, and get excited because this week marks the officially halfway point to Christmas 2025!
As always, thanks for your love and support, y’all! 🎅🏻🎄🎁 🦌🦉⛄️🚂🔔 🤶🏻 🎀 ❄️

We start the show with Christmas All Over The World and we take a look at the Yorkshire tradition of The Old Hoss. A bunch of people go round the pubs and one of them is dressed as a horse and they sing a poem… and I’m not making it up.
Next up Bob Baker has a look at what us Brits call ‘taps’ and those Yanks call ‘faucets’ in Do You Hear What I Hear.
After the joke it’s this episodes version of A Christmas Carol. It’s called Ebbie and it’s a modern day (90s) take with a female Scrooge. It’s actually alright. You can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTRm5gX6CXs
Then Bob is back with Where Are You Christmas? and he looks at some places here in the UK that (to my shame) I wasn’t aware of.
Check out Bob’s podcast here: https://4fpodcast.buzzsprout.com/
Then it’s The Quiz. I scored 8, make sure to email me with your score.
This episode’s recommendation is It’s A Fair Cop with Alfie Moore. It’s my latest favourite thing.

I’m finally behind the microphone again, bringing you all the cozy Christmas vibes as we countdown to Christmas 2025. Today, I read an Irish Christmas Story called “Frank Forrest’s Mince-Pie” by Fr. Patrick Augustine Sheehan. It tells the story of a young man named Frank who has some strange Christmas dreams about Mince pies, an act of kindness – and of course, what Victorian Christmas story would be complete without some ghostly visitors! I also recommend a book of Christmas stories and share some Irish Christmas traditions!
