Podcasts about Christmas Past

It's Christmas in July here on the podcast, and we're back discussing that most eternal of all holiday classics: Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. More specifically, we're taking a look at the 1979 made-for-TV movie An American Christmas Carol. This adaptation transposes the story into 1930s New England, where the town miser is Benedict Slade, played by Henry Winkler. The film first aired in December of 1979, in the middle of Happy Days' seventh season, which explains why roughly half of the film takes place during the "Christmas Past" sequence. Winkler was not about to put on the old man makeup any longer than he had to! ALSO! Have they ever done a "Christmas Carol" adaptation starring Dracula? Let's talk about that. Questions/Comments?

It's time for another Festive Fridays episode as we cover a unique new spin on a holiday classic. ABOUT EBONY'S CHRISTMAS CAROL Three spirits visit a bitter winery owner, helping her confront her past and find her lost Christmas spirit. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR EBONY'S CHRISTMAS CAROL November 24, 2025 | Streaming CAST & CREW OF EBONY'S CHRISTMAS CAROL Ebony Tates as Ebony Scrooge BRAN'S EBONY CHRISTMAS CAROL SYNOPSIS Meet Ebony Scrooge. It's the holiday season and she wakes up absolutely miserable. She's out here wearing all black, so you KNOW she hates Christmas. She walks out of her room to find her assistant Maggie has decorated the house for Christmas. Ebony's response? “THROW IT AWAY!” To her, Christmas is only good for boosting sales. We then meet Nate, an aspiring winemaker who dreams of making his own wine someday. Unfortunately, for now he just works at Ebony's winery. Ebony storms into the office and cannot believe everyone is trying to decorate for Christmas. She reminds everyone that she has very clear rules: no Christmas music, no decorations, no jingle bells, and absolutely NO Mariah Carey. That night on Christmas Eve, Ebony falls asleep and is awakened by her Aunt Pooch, who warns her that she'll be visited by three ghosts. Ebony is not impressed. First up is the Ghost of Christmas Past, who shows Ebony her childhood. Growing up, her family never had much money, which made Christmas hard for her to enjoy. Her parents worked really hard to make the holidays feel special, but young Ebony could never really appreciate it. Then the Ghost of Christmas Present arrives…and he's hot. He shows Ebony how much her employees dislike working for her. He also shows her parents — who are very much alive — sadly talking about how she never visits anymore and how much she hates Christmas. This one actually gets to her. Finally, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come shows her a future where she dies and nobody really cares. Not even Nate. Brutal. Ebony wakes up changed. She rushes to the winery, apologizes to her employees, gives everyone time off, and hands out bonuses. She also finally reconnects with her parents. Then she throws a huge Christmas party for the staff where she spends an aggressively long amount of time backing that thang up on Nate. Eventually, she pulls him aside, tells him she wants to help launch his wine, and then they kiss — because obviously these two have had feelings for each other the entire movie.

Holiday Oddities: Stolen Santa Bones, Pooping Logs, and the Strangest Christmas Traditions on Earth This holiday bonus episode of The Box of Oddities unwraps the weirdest, darkest, and most unexpectedly heartwarming Christmas stories from history. Kat and Jethro explore the true fate of Saint Nicholas's bones, including the medieval relic theft that scattered Santa's remains across Europe—and the unsettling legend of “Santa juice” still collected from his tomb. From there, the episode sleighs straight into bizarre holiday traditions from around the world: Catalonia's infamous pooping nativity figure, the gift-pooping Christmas log that children beat with sticks, Iceland's child-eating troll Grýla and her terrifying Yule Cat, and the unsettling folklore behind Santa once writing threatening letters to children instead of the other way around. Balancing the strange with the sincere, the episode also highlights true stories of compassion and humanity during wartime, including the Christmas Truce of 1914, enemies sheltering together on Christmas Eve during World War II, George Washington returning an enemy general's dog, and a Japanese pilot gifting his ancestral samurai sword to an American town decades after bombing it. It's a holiday episode filled with macabre history, unsettling folklore, absurd traditions, and genuine hope—a reminder that even in the darkest seasons, people can still surprise us.

In 1647 Christmas vanished by the decree of the Puritans who ruled Britain. But not everyone complied. Families lit candles behind closed doors, whispered carols, and held secret services. And protestors in Canterbury launched the infamous "plum pudding riots". This was more than a fight over festivities; it was a struggle over power and belief.Prof. Suzannah Lipscomb is joined by Prof. Mark Stoyle to explore how the war on Christmas revealed a deeper contest between authority and resistance, godliness and joy, and how echoes of it can even be found in the works of C.S. Lewis and Charles Dickens.MORE:Tudor Christmas CarolsListen on AppleListen on SpotifyTudor Ghosts and Angels: Spirits of Christmas PastListen on AppleListen on SpotifyPresented by Professor Suzannah Lipscomb.

Fun fact – Austin Bateman, the actor in the show who plays Young Scrooge, is a fan of the podcast. He's done a great job interpreting how a younger BJ Harrison would sound as Scrooge. My son Seven picked up on what he was doing and complimented him on it. It's a great show. If you're in the area, there are three more performances.   Today's VINTAGE episode was recorded in 2018, when my son was Scrooge in high school. I thought it was time to revisit the story.
