Kourtney and Justin are wrapping up 2025 with one last episode of the year.  The Turners discuss their second Christmas as parents and why they're relieved to have another year or two until they have to do the viral Elf on a Shelf.  Kourtney explains why she doesn't like the monochromatic, perfect aesthetic that some people choose for their holiday decor.  Kourtney brings people into her Buy Nothing Facebook group obsession and why she enjoys participating in that community.  She also wonders if some people don't fully understand the concept of the group and gives a few examples.  The Turners moved out of their rental house in Chicago and Kourtney puts Justin on the spot for a mistake he made when packing up everything.

Liebe Nation, Mitte der 1980er brach im deutschen Fernsehen die Blütezeit der Klamauk-Gameshows mit Kindergeburtstag-Charakter an. Weil die Rückspultastler da im besten Medien-Beeinflußungsalter waren – etwa sieben bis zehn – stellten solche Sendungen für sie die Krone der TV-Unterhaltung dar. In "Donnerlippchen" gab Jürgen von der Lippe den Zirkusdirektor im Hawaiihemd und verteilte großzügig Preise sowie Schleim – in Simons Liebling "Vier gegen Willi" setzte Supernase Mike Krüger mit je zwei Familien und Nagetier-Unterstützung zum Unterhaltungs-Frontalangriff an – in "Alles nichts oder!?" ließen Ulknudel Hella von Sinnen & ihr magersüchtiges Frettchen Hugo Egon Balder die Torten fliegen – in "Koffer Hoffer" versteigerte Kodderschnauze Karl Dall vergessene Gepäckstücke – in "Halli Galli" drehte Zauberer Detlef Simon (kurz: Desimo) "Donnerlippchen" auf Elf – und in "Zimmer frei!" war das ewige Moderationsduo Christine Westermann & Götz Alsmann auf der Suche nach prominenten Untermietern. Von der Presse zunächst verlacht und später mit Grimme-Preisen bedacht – den Weg dieser Formate zeichnen Simon & Sebastian nach in der fünften und vorerst letzten Ausgabe ihrer Rückspul-Reise quer durch den Humor vergangener Jahrzehnte. Zu Gast sind außerdem Marco & Fazitator Christian, um über Live-Publikumserfahrungen beim WDR zu berichten. Wir hören uns im nächsten Jahr wieder. Bis dahin: Freuen Sie sich jetzt!

Photo: Mrs. Crystal Claus, Peppermint the Elf, and Solte Santa, as portrayed by Colleen Payne, Qalch'ema Friedlander, and Jerry Payne, visit the Chifin Native Youth Center in Springfield, Oreg., Sunday, December 14, 2025. (Buffalo's Fire/Brian Bull) It's the holiday season with many families across Indian Country waiting for Santa's visit to reward all good children with presents. And while the mainstream depiction is of a jolly old elf who's white and decked out in a red, fur-lined suit, some Native Santas are inspiring yuletide cheer in their own ways. Brian Bull of Buffalo's Fire shadowed one across Oregon. At the Chifin Native Youth Center in Springfield, Oreg., a packed classroom welcomes Solte Santa, accompanied by Mrs. Claus, Peppermint the Elf, and others from the North Pole. Jerry Payne, the man behind the curly beard, explains his role. “'Solte' in Salish means 'warrior', so I wanted to honor that. And I'm a veteran myself. Every community has their own style of Santa so I wanted to make sure that the Indigenous Natives got to be represented as well.” Solte Santa has made nine appearances across Portland, Eugene, and other places this month, listening to kids' wish lists and posing for family photos. With a feathered bustle, candy cane staff, and festive beadwork, he contrasts sharply with the Coca-Cola Santa that's been widely iconic since the 1930s. But Payne says that's a plus. “The mall Santa or typical Santa that everybody knows like the Coca-Cola Santa … for whatever reason, kids are scared of that Santa. But I've had kids that … their parent would say that they would never come up to take a picture with me. Next thing you know, they're hugging me and jumping in my lap and we take a good picture. Their parents are crying because they never got a good picture with their kid.” A study involving an Oregon State University scholar looked at non-traditional Santas. Bori Csillag, Stirek assistant professor of management, said for many Father Christmases, spreading love and joy for the holidays surpassed the need to conform 100% to the mainstream depiction of Santa Claus. “They see the fit, they hear the calling in their heart, they know that they are able to portray their role successfully.” Besides Solte Santa, a First Nations dancer called Powwow Santa has been firing up social media, and there are many others across tribal communities, reminding people that the Christmas spirit exists for everyone. A Navajo children's television show returned this month with a holiday special. Jill Fratis reports. The “Navajo Highways” special is titled “Ya’ah’teeh Keshmish,” which is “Merry Christmas” in Navajo. It's the show's first full holiday themed episode. The creator of the series, filmmaker, and musician Pete Sands, says the show teaches Navajo language and culture. “Parts of it is my childhood, and part of it is how I wish my childhood was. It's a balance of both, and I think shining positivity on Indigenous cultures is important to do.” The series blends puppetry, storytelling, and Navajo humor, all set along the winding highways of the Navajo Nation. Sands says that a memory he had of a teacher using puppets to help children listen, gave him the idea to use them in his show. “Seen a teacher friend of mine who was trying to tell her first grade students to clean up, but they wouldn't listen to her, so she reached into her desk and she pulled out a hand puppet and started talking to her class, and they listened to her, through the puppet actually, and a lightbulb went off in my head like wait, maybe there's something to this. Maybe I can use this.” The holiday episode highlights traditional winter teachings, including family gatherings, gratitude, and the meaning of giving. Season two of the series begins production next year. Sands says there will be new puppets and new locations, but says the heart of the show remains the same: teaching children simple Diné words and phrases through everyday scenes and conversations. The “Navajo Highways” holiday special, and season one, is now streaming on the First Nations Experience (FNX) platform.

This week Barry Dave and Tod explore the question, what is a Christmas Movie? While all right minded folks agree Die hard is every bit as much a holiday staple as say, It's a Wonderful Life, or Elf, some go to extreme lengths to squeeze any film with a Christmas tree into the mix. Seriously, who lights the fireplace, pours an eggnog and cues up Eyes Wide Shut? The hosts define their personal guidelines, and delve into their favorite "real" Christmas movies, and ultimately, songs. They also work in a round of Whats in the Box, and acknowledge the passing, and legacies, of Gil Girard and Bob Burns. Thanks for listening and Happy holidays!

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!

Hollywood has forgotten how to make a Christmas movie because they have forgotten how to be sincere. We have traded classics like Home Alone and Elf for "Content Slop" and ironic snark. In this episode, we break down why the holiday blockbuster is dead, why Red One bombed, and why the "Netflix Look" is ruining cinema. But while we are walking away from the theater, we are walking back to the sanctuary. New data reveals a massive, historic shift: Gen Z men are now attending church at higher rates than women. Camellia Peterson (AFP-MO) joins the show to discuss this "Silent Night Revival" and why young men are rejecting modern chaos to find order, tradition, and meaning in the pews. Plus, the "Holiday Hall of Shame" is open for business. From homeowners fighting porch pirates with "Skunk Water" to the woman suing her coworker over a bag of dog food—we cover the absolute chaos of Christmas 2025. Today's Show:

Midweek Mention... Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence

Homoeroticism, honour codes, and the least festive “Merry Christmas” ever recorded.This week's pick looks like a seasonal warm hug by title alone, but it's actually a POW-camp psychodrama where Christmas is basically just another opportunity for humiliation, beatings, and cultural misunderstanding.The core triangleLawrence (Tom Conti): the cultural bridge. He respects Japan's traditions more than the other prisoners do, but still can't square the camp's brutality with the language of “honour.”Celliers (David Bowie): quiet defiance, charisma, scars, and a refusal to surrender mentally even when physically broken.Yonoi (Ryūichi Sakamoto): the commander whose obsession with honour is also clearly entangled with fascination/desire — especially towards Celliers — and whose self-loathing (the “missed coup / lost honour” backstory) bleeds into how he runs the camp.What the film is really doingThis isn't a “war movie” in the guns-and-heroics sense. It's a study of shame and power:The Japanese guards are trapped by their own code: surrender is incomprehensible, confession is weakness, punishment is “order.”The prisoners are trapped by their code: resistance is identity, humiliation is poison, compromise looks like collaboration.And between them is Lawrence, trying to keep men alive with language — while knowing language isn't enough.The flashback that explains everythingCelliers' confession about failing to protect his younger brother (and the brutal boarding-school initiation) is where the film stops being “about the camp” and becomes “about the kind of violence men normalise.” That shame mirrors Yonoi's shame. Different cultures, same wound.The moments you won't forgetThe mock execution: Bowie refusing the blindfold because it's “for them.”The Christmas scene: Hara drunk on sake, Lawrence spared, and the phrase that becomes the film's ghost.The public kiss: Celliers' desperate, weaponised tenderness to stop an execution — the emotional bomb that breaks Yonoi.The ending, years later: Lawrence visiting Hara, now the condemned man, and the final line delivered with a tragic calm:“Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence.”VerdictNot festive. Not cosy. Not easy. But brilliantly acted, quietly devastating, and still unusually forward-thinking in how it frames desire, masculinity, and shame without turning it into cheap scandal.If you want tinsel: watch Elf.

Send us a textWhat makes a Christmas tradition stick—the flavor, the place, or the story you tell about it? We gathered five friends from across the map to trade brutally honest eggnog takes, map out Christmas Eve and Day rituals, and argue for the movies that still make us feel like kids. From beach fires in North Carolina to church services and the Feast of the Seven Fishes, the thread running through it all is simple: small moments, strong memories.We dive into the comfort classics—Chevy Chase's Christmas Vacation, the original cartoon Grinch, both Home Alones, Polar Express, and the underappreciated Charlie Brown specials—and shout out favorite characters like Buddy the Elf, Ralphie, Yukon Cornelius, and the Heat Miser vs. Snow Miser duo. Then we hop towns to find real places that look like movie sets: Chagrin Falls and Hudson in Ohio, Carmel's rink and German market in Indiana, Sugarcreek's Amish charm, and West Virginia's Berkeley Springs with its storybook main street. If you're building a holiday road trip, we've got a ready-made list: Oglebay Festival of Lights, Pittsburgh's PPG Place rink and the Point, Cleveland's Zoo Lights, downtown Willoughby's Light Up Night, and the A Christmas Story House.Food gets personal fast. Ham and scalloped potatoes, beef tenderloin, and an avalanche of Christmas cookies take center stage, with regional favorites like Sarris chocolate adding bite. We also take on the live-sports-on-Christmas question (most of us say stay home unless it's a great NBA matchup) and rank gifts—dinner out tops the list, edging gift cards, with candy a distant third.

We regret to inform you, this week marks the final episode of our 2025 season. So, we thought we'd bring you one of our most-loved episodes. Certainly our most loved holiday episode – Rejecting Elf. Elf is a beloved and timeless Christmas classic. Starring Will Ferrell, the film brought in over $200M at the box office, and 20 years later remains a holiday tradition for many. But back in the year 2000, the script was rejected by production companies, studios, directors and actors, championed only by two producers with no producing experience. Then when it finally did land a studio, executives nearly left Elf on a shelf. Join us, won't you, as we pass through the seven levels of the Candy Cane forest, through the sea of swirly twirly gum drops, then through the Lincoln Tunnel for Rejecting Elf. Thank you for joining us this season. We'll meet you back here in a couple short months for Season 7 – and in the meantime, we have some fun Minis coming your way. From all of us at Apostrophe, Merry Christmas. Have a safe and happy holiday. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Every year, goblin-like creatures called Kallikantzaroi stop sawing through the World Tree, crawl up from the underworld, and spend the twelve days of Christmas stealing babies, destroying homes, and terrorizing anyone unlucky enough to cross their path, pooping all over the place while they are at it.IN THIS EPISODE: If your kids think Elf on a Shelf is creepy – just tell them that kids in Greece and its surrounding countries are terrorized each Christmas for a full twelve days by nocturnal goblins that like to defecate all over your home!

For example, those who happened to be black living in America while slavery was still legal. What was Christmas like for them?

We'll look at that song – and other Christmas songs – that are a lot darker than you might know. (The Darker Side of Christmas Carols) *** We're all familiar with the classic Christmas ghost tale, “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens – but before that novel, there was another ghost story of Christmas, a purportedly true story. (A Ghost Story of Christmas) *** In 1897, Dr. Philip O'Hanlon was asked by his young daughter whether Santa Claus was real. His suggestion for her to find an answer has resulted in something so famous, it has practically become a meme.
