Restaurants are crawling with germs. It's not all the restaurant's fault – where there are people, there are going to be germs. This episode begins with a look at the germiest things in restaurants that you may want to avoid touching or at least wipe down. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/19/germ-infested-areas-restaurants_n_2159281.html Christmas is chock full of customs. We travel home for the holidays, we wrap Christmas gifts, we eat Christmas foods, we sing Christmas songs, and the list of customs goes on and on. Joining me to explain why we have these customs and where they came from is Brian Earl. He is host of the Christmas Past podcast https://christmaspastpodcast.com/podcast/ and author of the book Christmas Past: The Fascinating Stories Behind Our Favorite Holiday's Traditions (https://amzn.to/3FoB3bt). It's a great segment for anyone who loves Christmas. Talking with children is different than talking to other adults – or at least it should be. That's according to my guest Rebecca Rolland, a speech pathologist, Harvard lecturer, and author of the book The Art of Talking with Children (https://amzn.to/3Y2nYgd). You will want to hear this conversation if you will be spending time with children during the holidays. It will provide great insight into how to have wonderful conversations with kids that benefit them and you. You have seen the sign that says, “Buy one, get one free” – right? And while that sounds enticing, it isn't always such a great deal. Listen as I reveal some retail psychology that you need to be aware of. https://www.businessinsider.com/7-way-stores-trick-you-into-making-impulse-purchases-2012-5?op=1 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!!!

It is the all-time highest-rated and most popular podcast about Christmas.Each short episode of the podcast tells the story behind a Christmas tradition, with the help of a leading expert.

With Christmas coming up, you're likely in the full holiday swing of things — decorating your tree, eating certain foods, listening to particular music, and buying and wrapping gifts. But did you ever stop to think about why it is you're taking part in this slate of often weird-but-wonderful traditions?Brian Earl has traced the backstories of our Christmas traditions in his podcast and book called ChristmasPast. Today on the show, he shares some of those backstories with us, and explains how many of our seemingly fated and timeless traditions actually came about in fluky and fortuitous ways and are a lot more recent than we think. He first unpacks how Christmas went from being a small religious observance to a huge cultural celebration and how our idea of Santa Claus evolved over time, with our current conception of Old St. Nick being less than a century old. We then discuss how it is we ended up taking evergreen trees inside our houses and decorating them, the origins of the most recorded Christmas song in history, why fruitcake became the butt of jokes, and why hardly anyone roasts chestnuts anymore, on an open fire or otherwise. Brian shares what new Christmas traditions he's seeing emerge and which classic ones are going away, and I offer an important PSA to future parents about Elf on the Shelf. We end our conversation with Brian's tips for getting into the Christmas spirit if you haven't been feeling it.Resources Related to the EpisodeAoM Article and Video: How to Roast Chestnuts on an Open FireAoM Article: Be a Scrooge This Year — Reflections From A Christmas CarolThe evolving image of Santa ClausPew Research study on the changing ways Americans celebrate ChristmasVintage Flintstones Fruity Pebbles Christmas commercialVintage McDonald's Christmas commercialAoM Article: 11 Ways to Get Into the Holiday SpiritConnect With Brian EarlBrian's Website and Podcast

Hey guys, On this bonus episode I am delighted to welcome Brian Earl from the Christmas Past Podcast, the godfather in my eyes of the Christmas Podcast network to Kringle Talks Kristmas. We spoke about what led him to doing a Podcast, his favourite topic to cover and various others, including his new book, titled "Christmas Past" A book link to his website - https://christmaspastpodcast.com/book/ Check out the Christmas Podcast Network where you can both of our podcasts - https://christmaspodcasts.com/ Christmas Past twitter - @XmasPastPodcast Christmas Past Instagram - christmaspastofficial Follow me on twitter - @KristmasTalks Until next time, take care, bye bye
Christmas Past is a term that conjures up a lot of images in the mind. In those two words we are instantly reminded of things that are precious to us. The power of Christmas past is evident in nearly all that we do to celebrate the season. Our music is filled with the golden oldies of Christmas, our decorating yields to even ancient practices of yore, and our foods are traditionally festive and have been so since before we were born. We love to celebrate in ways that are old, to remember of how Christmas used to be, and to honor the things, places and people of the past. Christmas is, if anything, honored by time and cherished for what it has always been. Nobody knows that better than Brian Earl, host of the Christmas Past Podcast and author of a new book titled - what else? - Christmas Past. I've been wanting to talk with Brian for a long time. If anyone understands my interest and even slightly obsessive history with Christmas past, it's Brian Earl. As he says - he's not a historian, he is a storyteller. And there are a lot of stories to tell about Christmas of the past. In this far ranging episode of our own podcast Brian takes us on his Christmas journey. It is a journey that not only started in his childhood but also a journey that deliciously never ends. Some important links to consider: Christmas Past Podcast Book (on Amazon) - Christmas Past: The Fascinating Stories Behind Our Favorite Holiday's Traditions Book (on Barnes & Nobel) - Christmas Past: The Fascinating Stories Behind Our Favorite Holiday's Traditions Christmas Past and Brian Earl on Social Media: Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/ChristmasPastPodcast Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/173778110150282 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/christmaspastofficial/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/XmasPastPodcast
Let's get into the nitty gritty of our holiday traditions—real tree or a fake tree? Love egg nog or hate it? Decorating to the hilt or like to keep it minimalist? In this kickoff episode of our Untraditional Traditions series, we're doing a deep dive into some of the traditions many of us may observe at the holidays, and a few we might want to try! Like, how many of you put up your Christmas tree at Halloween and take it down on Valentine's Day? Well, our guest this week does and he just gave us all permission to do that same (you're welcome). Because that's the fun thing about traditions—we can take the ones that mean the most to us and build off them to create something that really reflects who we are. And if our old traditions leave us feeling flat, there are always new things to explore. Brian Earl, the host of the “Christmas Past” podcast is the perfect guide as we begin this series. Brian dedicates hours of research to uncovering the roots behind many of our beloved (and maybe to some, annoying) holiday traditions. Ever wonder why we put up a Christmas tree in the first place? He lays it out for us, along with many other interesting facts around traditions. Also, he and Jen reminisce about being kids in the 70's, 80's and 90's and the nostalgia around gifts we received and the Christmas commercials that used to barrage us on TV. (Rubik's Cube, anyone? How about Teddy Ruxpin)? As they wind through the nostalgia of traditions past, Jen and Brian also talk about creating new traditions, and how valuable those are and will become to us and our people. Brian's years of research have resulted in a book about all the fascinating, sometimes really surprising stories behind our holiday traditions, why we should care about them, and what they mean. Get into the spirit of the holidays as we wax nostalgic and dream of new ways to celebrate the season. * * * Thank you to our sponsors!

Available now! Thought-Provoking Quotes “I grew up in the '70s and '80s. Those are two decades that I feel like produced maybe twice their fair share of popular culture. And all of that worked its way into Christmas.” - Brian Earl “Christmas for your great-great-grandparents was very different from what we celebrate. They would take a look at our celebration and sort of recognize it as Christmas, but not really.” - Brian Earl “During the Christmas season, anything in my community that's going on, any Christmas thing, we're always running around to it, and [my wife] gets a little tired, because she loves Christmas too, but very few people love it as much as I do.” - Brian Earl “Every year we write the next chapter in the story of Christmas. And I mean that on a small scale–you write the next chapter in your family's Christmas. But then collectively, with changing our behaviors, and just what kinds of things we want as a culture for Christmas, we write the next chapter collectively as the larger Christmas-celebrating community.” - Brian Earl Guest's Links Brian's Website Brian's Instagram Brian's Facebook The Christmas Past Podcast Resources Mentioned in This Episode For the Love Podcast episode with “Deck the Hallmark” Christmas Past: The Fascinating Stories Behind Our Favorite Holiday's Traditions by Brian Earl Connect with Jen!Jen's website Jen's Instagram Jen's Twitter Jen's Facebook Jen's YouTube

Brian Earl with the Christmas Past podcast shares a Christmas story you’ve probably never heard before. In the early 1900s, children’s letters to Santa Claus never made it to the North Pole. They landed in the dead letter office and were eventually destroyed. But along came John Gluck, a hustler who took these letters to Santa and turned it into an opportunity to get rich and famous. It’s the strange and true story of government agents, spies, an art thief, U.S. presidents, and gun-toting boy scouts.

Grab a plate of turkey, stuffing and gravy and enjoy this extra cozy episode! I interview Brian Earl from the Christmas Past Podcast, and we chat about the origins of our podcasts, Christmas (of course!), and in the time-honored Thanksgiving tradition we share what we are thankful. Even though it's been a rough year for everyone, we find we have a lot to be thankful for. I hope you do too! Then I read Louisa May Alcott's story, An Old Fashioned Thanksgiving. The Basset children are left on their own for a night before Thanksgiving when their parents are called away to tend their sick grandmother. How will they spend their time alone? By doing chores, reading stories by the fire, fending off a bear attack - and most daunting of all, preparing their own Thanksgiving dinner. Mother has done it every year - so how hard could it be? (Episode Warning: Due to the extra coziness of this episode, it is advised to not listen will driving or operating heavy machinery. Listening to this episode while digesting a large turkey dinner can increase the drowsiness effect. Listener discretion is advised.)
Hello you beautiful people, you have been sorely missed.It's Episode 12 of the podcast and this week we're proud to announce we have a Number 1 fan (self-appointed) and he shares his Worst Christmas Present Ever. As mentioned in the last episode, the wonderful Rachele Teasdale sent through some Aussie Christmas Songs and we find out if your host is familiar with them (spoiler alert: no he isn't).Here's the songs:He's the Aussie Santa by Bucko & Champshttps://youtu.be/0sGqk1aYmk8Christmas Photo by John Williamsonhttps://youtu.be/ctvh9GVckTEThe Aussie Christmas Song by Batesyhttps://youtu.be/FVCCIx0YxOoSix White Boomers by Rolf Harrishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlSsffF2xhAGood King Wally by Bucko & Champshttps://youtu.be/_hcMF3SacCwWhite Wine in the Sun by Tim Minchinhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCNvZqpa-7QThis week's recommendation is also this week's Santa Claus is NOT Coming to Town. It's the excellent Christmas Past Podcast and the presenter, Brian Earl, tells the story of how he discovered the truth about Santa. Christmas Past talks about the history of all the traditions we love at Christmas, it's educational and entertaining and the website is also lots of fun.Here's a link:christmaspast.mediaYule Lad of the week is Pot Scraper, he has an ingenious method to help him steal your pots and give them a good scraping, but I can't help thinking this could all be avoided if people would just clean their pots and pans.If you want to get in touch you can email us at totalchristmas@gmail.com or visit the website totalchristmaspodcast.com.Merry Christmas

She’s the only woman on the homicide squad, and a skilled chameleon: undercover cop in vice stings, crime-scene commander, patient confidante of killers. A master interrogator, she invokes her personal experience – and deepest griefs — as a tool to elicit confessions. When a young woman’s body is found at a trash-sorting plant, Trapp learns the murder may be linked to the disappearance of three other women in nearby Santa Ana. Trapp embarks on a dark journey that brings her face to face with a man who takes “a little piece of her soul.” Listen now at Wondery.fm/PretendDT Learn more about your ad choices.

It's Christmas Past's first live show! Join Tim Babb from Can't Wait for Christmas and Brian Earl for an hour of games, music, and conversation, recorded outside the Great Dickens Christmas Fair in San Francisco. This is the first time the Dickens Fair has hosted a live podcast recording. About the fair The Great Dickens Christmas Fair is a one-of-a-kind holiday adventure into Victorian London - an elaborate party with hundreds of costumed players performing and interacting with patrons in over 120,000 square feet of theatrically-lit music halls, pubs, dance floors, and Christmas shops. It's a twilight evening in Charles Dickens' London Town - a city of winding lanes filled with colorful characters from both literature and history. Enticing aromas of roasted chestnuts and hearty foods fill the air. Cries of street vendors hawking their wares ring out above the bustling crowd. Dozens of lamplit shops are filled to overflowing with Christmas gifts. The Dickens Christmas Fair is a treasured Bay Area tradition since 1970 and a splendid way to celebrate the holidays. Special thanks This live show wouldn't have been possible without the hard work and boundless Christmas spirit of Denise Lamott of Denise Lamott public relations, and Kevin Patterson, the director of the fair (who appears in this episode). Thanks also to the wonderful musicians who appear in this episode: The Coventry Carolers, The Brothers Luper, and The Paddy West School of Seamanship. Announcements There's still time to get tickets for Christmas Land in Los Angeles on December 15 A Christmas in July convention is in the works for 2020 in Nashville...and I'll be there!

Giussepe Pinetti: You might not know the name, but he's considered the guy who made magic into a respected theatrical art form. Before him, it was practiced mostly by buskers on street corners, or at private engagements for the rich, not public theaters. He single-handedly changed the persona of magician from shady trickster to consummate performerBrian Earl from the Illusion Podcast is here to talk about the granddaddy of all illusionists. He was there 200 years before David Copperfield, Chris Angel, or Penn and Teller.Here's some fascinating aspects of Pinetti's life that Brian and I discuss:His career began as a professor of physics in Rome in the 1770s. He performed magic tricks in class to illustrate concepts. His classes were very popularHe eventually began performing in Germany in 1780 as Pinetti, Roman Professor of Mathematics. He would pass off illusions as genuine scientific demonstrationsHe was very successful, selling out theaters across Europe. He started to dress like a general or nobleman onstage with custom tailored suits. Pinetti arrived in Prussia in a coach drawn by 4 horses. This angered Frederick the Great, the king of Prussia, whose carriage had only 2 horses. He ordered Pinetti to leave the cityA lawyer named Henri Decremps published an expose of Pinetti, explaining how his performances were just magic tricks, not demonstrations of little-known scientific principles. Pinetti publicly discredited Decremps by hiring a shabby person off the street to pose as Decremps at a performance and cause a public disturbanceA man named Count de Grisy in Naples had begun performing some of Pinetti's tricks at private parties. Pinetti pretended to mentor deGrisy and encouraged him to perform publicly. Pinetti sabotaged the performance, which the king attended
