31 Days of Halloween: The Halloween Advent Calendar

Today we're focusing on the Reason for the Christmas season as we discuss our favorite hymns or songs that celebrate the religious side of the holiday season. As always, Pam has facts and Jeff has stories. Enjoy!

Today we share our favorite Christmas songs from the radio (and TV and Film, actually). We finally have one bit of overlap, but we handled it well, I think. What are our favorite songs? You'll have to listen to find out!

For our first non-review show we wanted to share with you our favorite holiday-themed episodes of television shows. We'll be back tomorrow with another fun-filled festive list! Hope you enjoy!

Rankin Bass took a looooong (16 years) Winter's nap between their previous special and their final Christmas special. Santa Baby premiered in 2001! You didn't know about that, did you? Neither did we! Listen and learn what Christmas is all about, baby!

Didn't we just do this? Rankin Bass did a few origins of Santa Claus, and this was their last attempt. Was it their best? Having L. Frank Baum along for the ride didn't hurt, but you'll have to listen to find out for sure!!! HO HA HO!!!!!

It's time for those 2 favorite Christmas traditions: Leprechauns and Banshees!! Yeah, we were as confused as you are. Just trust us, this one is better than it sounds, but not as good as it should be. We still enjoyed it, and we hope you will enjoy this episode!

If we said we loved this special, our noses MIGHT grow just a smidge. Seriously, there's quite a bit to like about today's show, but is it enough to make up for all the things we DON'T like? Listen and find out!

BRRRR Is it chilly in here to anyone else? Must be that rascal Jack Frost! Today, Pam and Jeff discuss a special that isn't QUITE Christmassy, but it's still charming, and we hope you enjoy the discussion. Just be sure to have the cocoa and a sweater ready!

Wow. Rankin Bass really started swinging for the fences in 1979. This one is a feature-length movie that played theatrically for about a week before premiering on TV just around Thanksgiving. Were their efforts noble and appreciated? Weeeeellllll......maybe you wanna listen to this show before you find out for yourself.

Did we really need ANOTHER retelling of A Christmas Carol? Actually, this time, we did! Tom Bosley and Walter Matthau make this one magical! Listen and find out just how magical!
