A Cozy Christmas Podcast

In today's episode, the Theology Bros. (aka Art, Gerry, and Thom!) gather to talk about Advent—what it is, why it matters, and how we can celebrate it in meaningful ways. The Advent season is just a few days away, and people observe it in all sorts of traditions and styles. We'd love to hear how you celebrate! I hope our conversation encourages you and helps make this Advent season a rich and meaningful one.

Happy Thanksgiving Week, everyone! Today I'll be reading a Thanksgiving story titled "Two Thanksgiving Day Gentlemen" by the legendary short story master O. Henry. It's a funny and thoughtful tale about two men bound by tradition… but I won't spoil anything! After the story, I chat a bit about our own traditions and ask an important question: Is it okay for some traditions to come to an end? I also share a Christmas book recommendation and talk about Words Christmas Gave Us by Grace Tierney. You can listen to my interview with her in last week's episode!

What in the world is a "scurryfunge"? Have you ever used a Yule-hole? What is the history and story behind names like "Grinch" and "Ebenezer Scrooge"? If you've ever wondered about such things, then you're in luck! Because today my guest is author, word expert, and Christmas enthusiast Grace Tierney. She hails from beautiful Ireland, and is the author of a brand new book called "Words Christmas Gave Us" and it's a fun look at many of the yuletide words, names, foods and phrases we use that have their inspiration because of Christmas! We also talk a bit about A Christmas Carol and which version we think is the best. (Spoiler alert: we agree!) You won't want to miss this fun and educational episode!

Have you ever wondered how does Santa make all the toys? How does he keep track of the naughty and nice list? Where is his village located? In today's episode, I'm reading the cozy children's story "Lill's Travels In Santa Claus Land" by Ellis Towne, Sophie May, and Ella Farman. In this charming story from 1878, a young girl named Lill discovers the magical Santa Claus Land and finds the answer to these questions and more! This is the perfect story to put you in the mood for Christmas.

Merry November everyone! I've got another jam-packed episode today! First of all, we circle back to last week's episode topic and I share some more information about the 1990's tv special, Merry Christmas George Bailey! Christmas Podcast Network roving reporter Tim Babb shares an exclusive interview with Jimmy Hawkins, the actor who played Tommy Bailey in the original It's a Wonderful Life film! He also produced the tv special that I spoke about in the last episode. Thank you so much Tim for sharing this with us! Then we head up north and about as far east as we can go, to Newfoundland, Canada! We stop in to visit with Glen Warren, who is hard at work on this season of his podcast Season's Eatings. We talk about Christmas traditions, foods, movies, and more that can be found in Canada and especially Newfoundland! (And what's up with that extra half hour time zone difference?) Warning: this episode might make you hungry!
