You will be visited by three versions of the Dickens classic. Spoiler: A Muppet Christmas Carol is not one of them, but it haunts the ones we talk about like a lonely old miser on Xmas Eve

Rev. Tanner Fox | Psalm 130The Advent season throws into sharp contrast both joy and sorrow. How do we make space for the sadness and sorrow inherent in our world during the Christmas season? How do we hold that together with the joy of these times? We look to the Psalmist for guidance, and remind ourselves that together we must watch and wait for the coming of our beloved savior, Jesus.

Pastor Nick preaches on how we, as Christians, should be the most loving and joyful because of what the Lord has done, is doing, and promises to do.

Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/editorialtpv El día de hoy hablaremos sobre el capítulo 13 del libro The Oxford Handbook of Christmas, titulado “Anglicanism,” por Martyn Percy. Ver aquí: https://global.oup.com/academic/product/the-oxford-handbook-of-christmas-9780198831464?cc=gb&lang=en& Articulo: https://semperreformandaperu.org/2025/12/27/paz-en-la-tierra-la-navidad-en-la-iglesia-de-inglaterra/  Video: https://youtu.be/8IEihJmeT-E  PPT: https://semperreformandaperu.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/navidad_anglicana_una_paradoja_hibrida.pdf  ¿Qué hace “anglicana” a la Navidad, cuando el anglicanismo se define —paradójicamente— por su amplitud y su capacidad de mezclar? En este episodio seguimos a Martyn Percy para entender una tesis tan provocadora como útil: el genio anglicano está en su hibridación. La Navidad en la Iglesia de Inglaterra toma prestado, adapta y “domestica” prácticas de otras tradiciones: habla de “Midnight Mass”, celebra villancicos a la luz de las velas, y produce liturgias pastorales que funcionan como puerta de entrada a la fe.  Entramos, primero, al fenómeno de Christingle: un rito popular (naranja, vela, cinta roja y frutos) orientado a niños, que comenzó como iniciativa de recaudación y terminó marcando para muchos el inicio real de la temporada. Luego nos movemos al “rostro global” del anglicanismo: Nine Lessons and Carols y su proyección mediática desde Cambridge, un ejemplo de cómo la liturgia se vuelve memoria compartida y “religión implícita” en sociedades secularizadas.  Pero Percy insiste en una tensión clave: el clero suele vivir la Navidad con ambivalencia, porque la fiesta activa a la vez corrientes sagradas (Encarnación, caridad, esperanza) y seculares (consumo, nostalgia, vacaciones). Precisamente ahí, dice, el anglicanismo suele estar “en su mejor versión”: una Navidad de umbral bajo y recompensa alta, donde el Niño de Belén vuelve a ser “para todos”.

It's a gift to our families and our neighbors. Solar and wind are now the cheapest power sources in history, yet too many politicians would rather toast billionaires by the fire than help working families keep their homes warm and their bills low. Real change begins when we stop letting the ultra - rich write our energy policy and run our government. Choose affordable, renewable power. Clean energy means lower costs, greater freedom, and a world that can still sing for future generations. Promote Celtic culture through music at http://celticmusicpodcast.com/.

It's late 1914. December cold in the trenches of the Western Front of World War I.Rations are in short supply. Men shiver… dreaming of home. Wishing they were far away. For months, here in the trenches, the sounds of the machine gun fire have peppered every waking moment. The whining of the bullets. The hissing and the cracking. But this morning — Christmas morning — the guns stop. It's not planned. It's spontaneous. But it happens all along the front. And over hundreds of miles of trenches. Silence… And then singing. Soft at first and then louder. Carols. Christmas songs. First one side sings in German. And then the other in French or English. It's the beginning of the Christmas Truce. 100,000 soldiers would participate in the temporary ceasefire. It remains a testament to the humanity in us all. A reminder of the resistance from men on the front lines to the savages of war. Resistance to the orders from above.Written and produced by Michael Fox.BIG NEWS!

The nativity scene makes room for the weeping mother, Rachel in Matthew 2. Sometimes joy sounds like a trembling voice saying, “I still believe.” So church—whether you sing through smiles or tears today — lift your eyes. Joy to the world. The Lord has come. The Lord is coming again

Historically, the celebration of Christmas and Carnival could overlap, and there is some reason to believe that customs associated with the former were inherited by the latter. A clue to this calendrical shift is offered by the Christmas song, “Carol of the Bells,” which uses the melody of an old Ukrainian New Year;s carol, one which dates back to the era in which New Year was celebrated in March (hence the springtime imagery of its original Ukrainian lyrics). Ukrainian postcard commemorating the folk song”Shchedryk” source of “Carol of the Bells” After a brief look at the variable date chosen to celebrate the New Year throughout European history, we take some time to rethink our modern understanding of what constitutes the Christmas season.  The common notion that the season ends on December 25 or January 1, possibly including the weeks leading up to those dates, in historical understanding, was reversed, with Dec. 25 representing the start of Christmastide, which at the very least ran until Epiphany (Jan. 6) or Candlemas (Feb. 2). The merger of Christmas and Carnival is not only aided by the historically later end date of Christmastide, but also the variable start date for Carnival. A number of regional dates preferred for those festivities are discussed with Germany’s initiation of festivities on November 11 being the earliest. Another reason to suspect that Carnival inherited some of its customs from Carnival is the carnivalesque quality of the Christmas Feast of Fools celebrated anywhere from Dec. 26 to January 6.  The wild, and sometimes dangerous revels celebrated on those days (and discussed in Episode 100) were ended by local bishops at roughly the same time that Carnival celebrations in France and Germany emerged, suggesting  re-channeling of anarchic impulses and customs. Our discussion then turns to the Roman New Year, the January Kalends, which likely inspired chaotic elements around the Feast of Fools. Of particular interest here are accounts of celebrants dressing in animal hides and horns. a custom that seems to have survived in certain Carnival traditions, including a number discussed in my Carnival book.  One of these, the Kurent of Slovenia, who happens to be rather similar to the Austrian Krampus across the country’s northern border. In Western Bulgaria too, another Carnival figure, the Kuker, in western regions also makes  use of animal hides and horns (as well as bells).  Bulgaria also provides us with an interesting 20th-century case study of the merger of the traditions of Christmas (or “Surva,” the Bulgarian New Year) merging with springtime fertility customs of Carnival, both strands being associated with the Kuker. We wrap up with a brief look at Slavic celebrations of the Christmas cycle as Koliade (various spellings), a name for Christmastide and the customs associated with it, particularly door-to-door “good luck visits” incorporating short plays and songs, kolyadka in Ukrainian, the original of “Carol of the Bells” (Shchedryk/”Bountiful Evening”) being one of these songs “New Year’s Carols” (Kolędnicy noworoczni) from “A Polish Year in Life, Tradition and Song” (1900).
