In the 3rd Episode of the Total Christmas Podcast we take a look at the first ever Muppet Christmas special - The Great Santa Claus Switch from 1970.

We discuss the history of that sparkly wonder, which no Chirstmas tree should be without - Tinsel.

It's the first ever Robin Sings where the young songstress Robin wows us all with her voice of an angel singing a Christmas classic.

And this weeks recommendation is this weeks Santa Clause is NOT Coming to Town.  It's a great podcast called Answer Me This and in a clip from the show they discuss the ins and outs of lying to your children each year about the jolly fat man who brings them presents.

Merry Christmas

In the first episode of the Total Christmas Podcast we introduce some of the segments we'll be featuring each episode.

We discuss the classic Christmas love song A Winter's Tale by David Essex, the Christmas sport of Genna played in Ethiopia, Mr Magoo's Christmas Carol and much more.

There's also a disclaimer at the start apologising for the quality of this first attempt at a podcast.
You'd think it would be easy recording something like this but we like to think we've proved otherwise.

Merry Christmas
