Podcasts about Christmas Morning

Merry Frankensteinian Christmas from Jay of the Dead's New Horror Movies, The Christmas Morning of Horror Movie Podcasts! Releasing on December 25, 2025, the festive Horror Avengers bring you a magnificent monster mash stitched together from October and November recordings and joyfully re-gifted as a full-blown holiday special. This memorable episode earns its place in show history by featuring one Horror Avenger's Specialty Segment twice(!) in the same episode! While holiday lights glow and carols echo, your favorite hosts chime in interstitially with seasons greetings. Nearly everyone shows up to celebrate (with a couple of absences blamed on a suspicious trip to the dog track). The entire affair is capped by Jay's own original dark Christmas carol, "The Tiny King," a grim yet hopeful closer that might be the closest thing to a Horror Christmas carol. The episode itself is packed tighter than Santa's sack, har har, with new Horror movie reviews recorded "in the field," classic black-and-white chills, and a centerpiece deep dive into Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein — complete with a clear spoiler warning for listeners. Jay of the Dead, Dr. Walking Dead, Dr. Shock, Gillman Joel, and Mackula gather around the slab to debate monsters, their meaning, and modern myth-making, while Mackula's enthusiasm climbs sky-high in true festive fashion across the episode's classic and contemporary picks. From an in-person recording of Jay and Dr. Bishop as they review "Shelby Oaks" and "Dream Eater" inside Jay's car together — to vintage chills and a surprisingly merry detour into "Predator: Badlands" — Episode 174 feels like a snowy marathon of bolts, bells, snowballs, and body parts — equal parts reverent, ridiculous, and heartfelt. By the time the bubble lights stop bubbling and the final notes of "The Tiny King" fade out, listeners are left with a warm glow, a few scorch marks, and the firm belief that this really is The Gold Standard of Holiday Horror Movie Podcasts. Join us!

In dieser Episode vergleichen Janina und Patricia Weihnachten in den USA und in Deutschland – ehrlich, persönlich und mit einem Augenzwinkern. Sie sprechen über festliche Deko zwischen „Weniger ist mehr“ und „Go big or go home“, über die Geschenkekultur und um die Frage, warum sich Advent in Deutschland so viel ritualisierter anfühlt als in den USA. Natürlich geht es auch um Heiligabend versus Christmas Morning und kostenpflichtige Weihnachtsmärkte in den USA. Eine Episode über Traditionen, Erwartungen und darüber, warum sich Weihnachten überall vertraut anfühlen kann – und trotzdem ganz anders.

Christmas morning can easily become about exhaustion, expectations, and excitement—but Matthew 2:10–11 reminds us that true joy is found in worshiping Jesus first. By intentionally centering Christmas morning on Christ, families can experience deeper peace, joy, and meaning that lasts far beyond the presents under the tree. Highlights The Magi modeled Christmas worship by rejoicing, bowing, and offering their treasures to Jesus. Holiday exhaustion can distract us, but worship refocuses our hearts on what matters most. Keeping Christ central requires intentional planning, just like other Christmas traditions. Simple practices—reading Luke 2, singing hymns, or praying together—anchor the day in truth. Family traditions can joyfully point children to Jesus without removing the magic of Christmas. Reprioritizing schedules may feel uncomfortable, but it reflects the sacrificial heart of the Gospel. Honoring Jesus on Christmas morning creates opportunities to witness to others through love and example.

Check out our Holiday Gift Guide—from beautifully illustrated Bibles and devotionals to novels, greeting cards, and picture books, there’s something for everyone on your list. Wrap up stories for loved ones, tuck a book into your own nightstand, and join us in celebrating the wonder of giving this Christmas! Full Transcript Below: Emphasizing Christ on Christmas Morning By: Peyton Garland Bible Reading: “When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.” Matthew 2:10-11 (NIV) If we’re honest, most of us will admit that once Christmas morning arrives, we are utterly exhausted. Whether we are parents who stayed up all night putting together toys with hundreds of tiny pieces, we’ve spent the last week scrambling for last-minute gifts, or we are entertaining guests over the holiday, we have pushed our bodies to the limit. They quickly tell on us, eyes heavy, mind screaming for coffee, slippers dragging the floor. Amid this busy season, how can we ensure that Christ remains the center of Christmas morning, bringing us peace, joy, and hopeful energy far superior to our dark roast brew? How can we approach Christmastime so we enjoy all the festive traditions yet keep the manger the main thing? Thankfully, the answer isn’t a deep secret, and it’s what most of us do well, almost too well, this time of year. Planning. Conscientious, motivated planning. No doubt, we go to great detail to collaborate with friends concerning the annual tacky Christmas sweater party. We ensure that we pack and donate at least one Operation Christmas Child box per family member. We attend our little niece’s Nutcracker performance, a bouquet of festive roses in hand. We manage to balance all of the holiday’s hustle and bustle because we hold ourselves accountable to what we value most. Value Christ above all else this Christmas morning by grabbing a calendar and listing out exactly how your family will engage in holiday celebrations centered on Jesus. Invite your family to sit down with you and toss around ideas for which celebratory traditions sound best for both the children and adults. A few creative ideas include: Gathering at the dining room table to read Luke 2 before opening presents or eating Christmas breakfast/brunch. Playing Christmas hymns in the background as everyone eats breakfast. Adding a “Happy Birthday, Jesus” cake to the breakfast menu, letting everyone sing Happy Birthday to the greatest Birthday Boy in history. (I know a family who does this each Christmas, and their four children love it!) Before opening gifts, have everyone take turns sharing why Jesus remains the greatest gift in their heart and life. Placing a nativity scene at the foot of the Christmas tree before eating breakfast or opening gifts. (Placing a nativity scene at the foot of the Christmas tree is an old Catholic tradition that I learned from my husband’s family, and though my husband, son, and I are non-denominational, it is a dear tradition we honor each year.) If Santa visits your children, have Santa write a note to them, celebrating the ways they have grown in character that year while also sharing that he, too, knows that Christ is most important on Christmas Day. (Remember, little hearts that lean into magic will lean into miracles, so don’t cut the miracles short!) I pray these ideas spark creativity as you pray about and consider the Holy Spirit’s leading in how to best honor and praise Jesus on Christmas morning. But I also pray that you recognize that honoring Jesus on Christmas morning might mean you must reprioritize other things. Perhaps extended family members who typically join you for a casual Christmas breakfast at 9 can come over for a Christmas brunch at 11 (so your family has a quiet time of worship beforehand). However, if they are interested in joining your “Happy Birthday, Jesus” celebration, they can come over whenever is best for your family. Bonus: this is a great opportunity to love on your family members who aren’t believers! If your kiddos are accustomed to starting Christmas morning by seeing what Santa brought, I encourage you not to take away from that joy, but to reposition it. Explain to them ahead of time that since Christmas is about Jesus, we will celebrate Him first, then see what Santa brought. Having this conversation in advance allows little hearts to anticipate a schedule change. This gives them room to ask questions to better understand the purpose behind this new tradition. These new shifts might be uncomfortable or make little ones a bit fussy at first, but remember, the Gospel had uncomfortable beginnings, as a teenage girl gave birth among cattle and the Savior of the world was placed in a trough of prickly hay. May we truly adore Him as we sacrifice our schedules to put Him first this Christmas. Intersecting Faith & Life: Even after Christmas has passed, sit down with your family to discuss ways to continue keeping Christ the center of your days. Consider a daily family devotional or prayer time. Allow the children to include their own ideas.

For the holidays, we're re-running some of our very favorite holiday-themed episodes! It's hard not to feel like we've got to be doing ALL the things at the holidays, especially when social media tells us we should be. Here are some tips for taking perspective at the holidays and operating in "high magic, low effort" mode. We discuss: pre-gaming with your (older) kids about the preferred responses to less-preferred gifts starting with what family members really do love most about the holidays (their answers will surprise you) why you don't have to go the Nutcracker, or lights at the zoo, or Aunt Martha's house, this year, let alone every year Rosie Colosi for Today Parents: ⁠⁠Moms are challenging the idea that they are the sole keepers of holiday ‘magic'⁠⁠ SNL's "Christmas Morning" sketch: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOVCtUdaMCU⁠ ⁠Read all of our listeners' great advice on the original Facebook thread⁠... and here, as promised, is Amy's recipe for the⁠ Italian pepper cookies⁠ that seem to be unique to northeast Pennsylvania... Italian Pepper Cookies (makes about 72 cookies, more if they're small) 1/2 cup Crisco  2 cups of milk or water (or more if needed) If dough is really sticky you can add a little bit more of milk 1/2 lb. raisins  1 cup cocoa 2 1/2 cups sugar 4 tbsp. baking powder 7 cups of flour (add more if needed) 1 1/2 tsps. cinnamon 1 1/2 tsps. cloves (not whole) 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla 1 1/2 tsps. black pepper (if you don't want them too spicy, you can cut back on the pepper, I never do though) Optional, you can add nuts or I've seen people add chocolate chips too. We aren't big nut eaters, so I've never made them with nuts. Preheat oven to 375 Cream sugar and Crisco together in a bowl  In a different bowl, sift together all the dry ingredients. Add sifted dry ingredients to creamed sugar and Crisco alternately with milk. Mix well. It will be very sticky, it's easier to work with your hands. I usually coat my hands with some Pam to be able to work the dough. Add your raisins and mix it up more.  Using your hands, take enough dough to roll a small ball (my mom likes them big, I like them smaller) Place cookie balls on your cookie trays (I usually fit around 16 on a tray, all depends on the size of your cookie balls)  Bake in oven for 8-10 minutes. Icing: 2 cups confectioner's sugar 1 to 2 tablespoons milk 1/2 teaspoon butter splash vanilla For icing: Mix together all ingredients, adding milk until achieving creamy consistency, not stiff. When cookies are slightly cooled, top with icing. Sign up for the What Fresh Hell newsletter!

With Christmas just around the corner, the pressure to have everything perfect can feel overwhelming. But what if peace—not perfection—was the goal this holiday season?In this quick but powerful episode, Kathi and Roger Lipp offer a lifeline for anyone feeling the holiday crunch.

These aren't deep-cleaning projects or Pinterest-worthy overhauls—they're real, achievable actions designed for busy people who want to actually enjoy their holiday.Key Takeaways:Cook three dishes ahead of time - One side, one breakfast item, one dessert to free up oven and fridge space when guests arriveFocus only on main areas - Living room, kitchen, and guest bath get priority; skip the deep cleanPut away 90% of wrapping supplies - Keep one roll of paper, a few bags, tape, scissors, and a Sharpie accessibleThink through the needs of the day - Extra toilet paper, trash bag liners, paper towels positioned and readyPick your outfit starting with shoes - Comfort is key when you're hosting and running aroundClean out the fridge - Make room for dishes, platters, and leftoversDo all the dishes you can - Run that dishwasher even if it's only three-quarters fullGuest bathroom two-minute rescue - Quick wipe, clean mirror, fresh towel, restock suppliesSend a "here's the plan" text - Arrival times, parking, what to bring—predecisions equal peaceFive-minute joy setup - Turn on the tree, light candles, play Christmas musicNight-Before Quick WinsThe episode also covers essential night-before tasks: setting up your coffee station, doing a 10-minute surface sweep, laying out serving dishes with post-it labels, and charging all devices. Roger's pro tip about running the dishwasher even when it's not full is a game-changer for keeping your kitchen under control.As Kathi reminds listeners: "Today is not a day for perfection. Today is a day for peaceful triage." This episode gives you permission to let go of the overwhelming to-do list and focus on what actually matters—creating a peaceful, joy-filled Christmas for you and your loved ones.Remember: Peace is an act of resistance. Let's resist the overwhelm together this Christmas season.

Christmas can look and feel so different for each of us.

Loop ninety. Sloane remembers everything—and she's done playing by the Collector's rules.Instead of meeting Elias at the gas station, she goes directly to mile marker 47, where the loop closes. Using her threshold sight, she finally sees the truth: the debt binding them isn't one-sided. It can be balanced.When the Collector arrives to stop her, Sloane makes her choice—not to die, not to serve, but to bind herself to Elias as completely as he bound himself to her. Equal sacrifice. Mutual love. A debt that owes itself.The loop shatters. And for the first time, Sloane sees Christmas morning.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!

This week Steve and Rod tell the story of a Christmas morning that ended in heartbreak instead of celebration.In 1882, a passenger train and a freight engine collided near Millboro, Virginia, killing six crewmen and scalding the lone surviving passenger. How this tragedy occurred, the story of the men who paid the price along with that of the injured passenger, is another one of the Stories of Appalachia.If you enjoy our stories, be sure to subscribe so you never miss a new episode.

Send us a textHey there friend. I am re-posting this year for a few tips - but rather than one at a time, I am posting 5 today and then 5 each day between now and Christmas Eve. Take what feels right. Leave what doesn't. It's all about what matters most for you and your family this season. :)Enjoy Day 1.Support the showwww.bethtrammell.com

Send us a textDay 2 is all about counting down. And even though we are just a few days away, your kids might still need this one!Support the showwww.bethtrammell.com

Send us a textDay 3 includes a bit of crafting. Again - pick this one up if it feels right. And don't if it makes you feel like you wanna pull your hair out. :)Support the showwww.bethtrammell.com

Send us a textDay 4 - The quiet leap from “wish” to “promise” can turn a cheerful list into a Christmas morning flashpoint. We explore how kids interpret lists as expectations, why that creates friction, and the simple language you can use to keep the joy high and the drama low. Drawing from real family moments, we break down a short pre-holiday conversation that validates hope, sets loving boundaries, and gives you room to surprise. You'll hear how to introduce clear limits without sounding harsh, and how to use the top-three method so your child feels heard while you stay realistic about budget and values.By the end, you'll have a simple toolkit for expectation-setting, prioritizing, and designing an unwrapping sequence that feels fair and fun. If you're ready to swap uncertainty for clarity and keep the magic intact, press play and try the script with your kids tonight.

Some kids outgrow Santa. Others see him walk out their front door. On a warm Southern California Christmas morning, an eight-year-old wakes up before anyone else, ready to sneak a peek at the presents under the tree. The front door is open to let in the cool air, the holiday bells on the screen are still, and the house is quiet. Then the bells jingle. Frozen in the hallway, they watch as someone in a red jacket steps through the front door and out into the dark—no heavy footfalls, no click of the deadbolt, no final jingle of the bells. When they finally work up the courage to look again, the screen is shut, the lock is set, and the house is perfectly still. Their parents insist it was “just a dream.” Decades later, they're still not buying it. #realghoststoriesonline #christmasghoststory #holidayhaunting #santavisitor #paranormalchristmas #strangememories #childhoodencounter #maninred #trueghoststories #spookystories #holidayweirdness #ghoststorypodcast  Love real ghost stories?
