In this episode of the Cozy Christmas Podcast, I begin with a few reflections on this past year and share some personal thanksgiving thoughts.

Next, we talk about Christmas parades and some of the important rules you’ll want to remember if you’re ever in one (Hint: don’t get stuck behind the horses…) Next, Tyler shares memories of the Christmas parades in his hometown of Boonville, Indiana. We also reminisce about the power of Christmas ornaments to unlock cherished memories of the past. And finally, hold on to your taste buds, because we dive into the delicious world of festive holiday treats, including a mouthwatering Braided Nutella Star Bread that will leave you craving all the Christmas desserts!

During this week of Thanksgiving, we are grateful to learn so much this episode, really, especially for a holiday week. We are spending our Black Friday just basking in these hard truths. After a vain search for a Colonial Christmas movie, we really learned what the Pilgrims thought about Yuletime festivities – that they should be banned. Instead, we decide to travel to another area that is equally unfriendly to our favorite holiday, just to learn how initial appearances can be deceiving. We visit Algeria, located in North Africa, a place that offers us a true story on film, with thoughtful resonance and emotional impact. It is a real-life event that challenges perceptions about religion, sacrifice, and obligation. What does it mean to have deep faith and to be tested with your life? How strong is your belief and your convictions? These are the weighty questions that we still contemplate while dining on turkey and stuffing.
We embrace the diverse challenges posed by a place with remarkable beauty, a sprawling desert, and a powerful ethnic heritage. Despite the heartache of the film and its true-life events, it does offer hope and joy, but it also poses a question of what it means to be festive. Unlike many of the other countries that we visit, Christmas is a private event for the small Christian minority in Algeria and the challenges they face. And yet, since we were concerned, they are still able to celebrate with delicious delicacies like bourek with creamy bechamel sauce, cinnamon and butter topped Tamina, and a basket of dates, dried figs, and nuts. At least some things are the same wherever you go. Yum!

Welcome to episode 125 of Holly Jolly X’masu! In this episode, I talk about Takeshi Terauchi’s Christmas music from the 1960’s.
I hope you enjoyed this first episode about the God of Electric Guitar. His records were some of my favorites early on, and I still listen to them whenever I get the chance. Although I managed to get back on pace at the end of last month, things got really hectic again and I’m once more way behind schedule. I’m doing my best to get these three episodes out before the end of the month, and then I’ll dive into my December episodes.
Join me next time as I continue my look at Takeshi Terauchi. I’ll be talking about his 1979 album, “Let’s Go! Terry X’mas.” Then listen in for my third episode about Terry when I’ll be discussing his 1983 album, “Electric Merry Christmas.” They both great albums you’re sure to enjoy.
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. I only have a couple designs up, but keep an eye on it as I’ll be trying to add more. Half of any proceeds or donations received will be donated to support the people of Ukraine, while the rest will be used to purchase 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!
