What's up, dudes? Is it BAB-ar or BaBAR? Michael May from After Lunch, Crestwood House, and Hellbent for Letterbox and I try to figure it out. Yes, we're talking about “Babar and Father Christmas!”Arthur, Pom, Flora, and Alexander, the royal elephant children, are playing with their monkey pal, Zephir. Soon he tells them that in man's world, Father Christmas delivers presents to good boys and girls on Christmas Eve! After their amazement subsides, they write Father Christmas a wish list letter, but are disappointed when they don't get a reply. Ultimately, this leads to Babar's realization that the Elephants' Country needs to be included in Santa's regular route.The King goes to heroic lengths to make his children's' wishes come true. First, he goes to the city and befriends an artist's model. From there, he meets a geography professor with a map to Santa's workshop. Babar makes the trek up north, and he and Father Christmas become fast friends. Father Christmas even gets to take a much needed rest in the tropical climate of Babar's country. He also gifts Babar a magical flying suit to distribute presents on Christmas Eve.Saxophone-playing Rhino antagonists? Check. Barbarian Babar? In a joke. Elves who've never seen a flamingo? Only if they look like gnomes! So grab your crown, hop on a train to the city, and check your maps to this episode on “Babar and Father Christmas!”After LunchGive us a buzz!

Where has Santa Claus gone?Once upon a time there was Santa Claus's Village — but Santa Claus wasn't there. He had been missing for days and days… actually for months. Who would prepare and deliver gifts to the children as they did every year?That part of the North Pole which was usually very busy had become strangely silent — not an Elf could be seen around, no sounds of bells, the sleighs were covered in snow and all the reindeer dozed about confused.If you looked into his house you couldn't see a trace of life. The fireplace cold, the rocking chair covered in cobwebs, an empty cup on the wooden table and a candle stub burnt out long ago.Many were the rumours that had spread about Santa Claus's absence. Some said he was on another planet in a far, far away galaxy, some on the Moon, some on the vast oceans — and someone even said he had opened a bakery in Buenos Aires.The mystery was thick. Nobody could make sense of it and everything was silent and still.Meanwhile, many miles away, in the Southern Seas, a group of seagulls who spent their days fluttering above the bay spotted a small sailing boat in the distance. There was only one sailor on board who was hoisting the main sail up the creaking mast.The eldest seagull couldn't believe his eyes. He did a couple of acrobatics in the air, pulled out his spyglass, looked more carefully and said: "But I know him! That sailor comes from distant lands!"Turning to the other seagulls he told them: "One day, during one of my long journeys, I lost my way and found myself on the frozen rooftops of a village at the North Pole. I landed right on the house of that long-bearded man you see on the boat. He heard me calling for help, came to fetch me, fed me and told me about his work. I think this meeting has something magical about it. Our next adventure is about to begin."Gliding down, they headed towards the boat and all landed on the bow. The seagull and the sailor greeted each other like old friends.Shortly after, a group of dolphins arrived near the sailing boat, curious. They swam in circles around the boat, jumping out of the water.The youngest dolphin noticed something strange. "Look! Wood shavings are coming out of the hold and floating! And you can see little lights below deck."The long-bearded sailor smiled. "Come," he said in a warm voice, "I'll show you what I've done all these months."He opened the hatch to the hold and inside, by the light of two swaying lanterns, you could see a floating workshop full of wonders. With a sharp plane he had worked pieces of wood recovered from the sea, transforming them into toys — and he had done the same with shells, coconuts, cork stoppers, glass bottles, starfish and golden threads that had arrived from who knows where."I travelled to learn new ways of bringing joy," the sailor explained. "But there's so much work to do and Christmas is coming. Would you help me finish?"And so they all set to work together. The dolphins brought special shells from the bottom of the sea. The seagulls gathered coloured feathers. The objects transformed into gifts were placed in large canvas sacks.The days passed quickly.On the first of December the captain, wearing his red warm hat with his pipe in his mouth, looked at the starry sky and said: "It's time to leave."The dolphins lifted the sailing boat until it rose above the waves. The sails filled with wind and it took flight, whilst the flock of seagulls guided it through the clouds following dreams. Together they continued the journey heading north, flying through the endless blue.Night fell quickly and in the sky full of stars one shone brighter than all the others. It was the North Star which with its light accompanied the sailing boat's descent to earth.By magic, as it approached the village, the sailing boat transformed into a sleigh loaded with gifts. The presents built in the hold arrived in the workshop to be delivered together with all the other parcels.When it landed on the roof of his house, a tinkling of bells was heard in the distance. The Elves looked out of their doors and shouted: "It's him! It's him! It's Santa Claus! He's back!"The red-nosed reindeer woke up suddenly and began polishing the sleighs, decorating them with bows and coloured pine cones.Life in the village awakened all at once. The tree branches shook as if they were being tickled. A group of penguins, who had arrived at the North Pole to lend a hand, sliding on the ice sheets at great speed, ended up inside snowdrifts and came out like bouncing balls.“You are so funny! We'll hang you on the Christmas tree as decorations!" the village animals shouted.But the penguins, freeing themselves from the snow, ran towards Santa Claus's house to help with the preparations.In the village absolutely everyone got moving. The reindeer rushed to the Post Office and filled the sacks with letters, then carried them to the workshop. The Elves with the help of the penguins were ready for work.That morning, when the bells rang out in celebration, foxes, squirrels, hares and bears came running from every corner of the forest to celebrate Santa Claus's return. There was so much to do for the joy of all the children in the world.The air smelt of fir trees and homemade biscuits. The Christmas trees sparkled with icicles like stars. The animals chased each other happily with their noses turned upwards.The preparations began in earnest. Throughout the month of December they worked together — saws that sang, hammers that played, coloured paper that flew. Santa Claus told stories of his journey whilst he hammered and sanded.And when the 24th of December arrived, everything was ready. The presents were loaded onto the sleigh and Santa Claus set off on his most important journey.The seagulls flew away towards new horizons, leaving their footprints on the snowy rooftops.Since that Christmas it is said that Santa Claus never left the North Pole again."What if it was only a tale? Is it true, or not? The final decision is yours!" — Written by Lucia & Marco CiappelliFor the Italian version and many more stories to read and listen to: https://www.storiesottolestelle.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Last night, I told you how Mary and I first glimpsed the Elves- but tonight, you'll hear what happened next: the moment our lives changed forever. From a forest meeting to a gathering beneath the Northern Lights, this is the tale of how a secret Elf world chose to share its magic. Settle in, Small Folk, for the story of how two toymakers were welcomed into Lapland and became the very first Mother and Father Christmas.

We're kicking off Aldarion and Erendis: The Mariner's Wife with a story full of stars, ships, and Númenórean family tension. This episode introduces Meneldur, a future king who prefers stargazing to ruling, and his son Aldarion, who is far more interested in the sea than the throne. With legendary sailors, famous Elves, and the irresistible pull of the ocean, we explore how a simple love of sailing might become something much bigger—and far more complicated.https://linktr.ee/sistersoftheshirepodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/sistersoftheshirepodcast/https://www.patreon.com/sistersoftheshirepodcasthttps://open.spotify.com/show/1HIhmdeX6761vi7RyOjl8f?si=_qwdGdP7SbmAP2RWlji54w

A lot of ink has been spilled over the Catholic and religious underpinnings of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. Pretty much everyone knows this by now, but very few have probed the depths of how the liturgy and the Catholic Mass influenced the very foundation of Middle Earth. In this episode, Professor Ben Reinhard joins the show to explore Tolkien's deep liturgical roots in his book, The High Hallow: Tolkien's Liturgical Imagination. We also discuss how to initiate a hobbit into true religion! You just need Elves and the oldest song-slinging being in Middle Earth (Tom).

Trade Hallmark cheer for brutal Christmas horror stories in this binge-length Weekly Spooky special. We're talking Christmas horror, twisted folklore, and bloody urban legends—killer elves, demonic Santas, zombie outbreaks, and holiday vengeance that turns tinsel into a crime scene. If you crave scary Christmas stories with mature themes, this winter horror stories anthology is your new holiday tradition.Settle in for seven chilling stories where the North Pole runs red: a cyborg warrior duels a demonic Santa in a blizzard-choked war zone, a drunk mall Santa gets his very own razor-toothed “little helper,” Strickfield's darkest secrets boil over into violent Christmas horror, and a vengeful elf leads a black-ops mission against the most evil kids on the planet. From department-store Santas under siege to undead yuletide nightmares, every tale dives deep into spooky seasonenergy with candy canes, carols, and carnage.Inside this Weekly Spooky Christmas horror compilation you'll hear:Christmas at Pendleton Way Station — by Rob Fields – In a snow-blasted future, a battle-hardened cyborg faces a hellish Santa and his zombified reindeer outside a fortified way station, where one last stand could save what's left of humanity's Christmas.Santa's Little Helpers — by Charles Campbell – A washed-up small-town Santa finally gets some backup: a wide-eyed elf girl with rows of razor-sharp teeth who's ready to repay every pitying glance and cruel word in blood.Inner Rage — by Rob Fields – In Strickfield, the holiday gloss can't hide the rot—until bottled-up fury and dark forces ignite a Christmas Eve of payback, turning festive lights into a backdrop for revenge.A Zombie's Christmas — by Rob Fields – A secret lab, an infected girl, and a seething Catholic school misfit collide as a zombie plague crashes into Christmas, dragging Strickfield into a nightmare of rage, contagion, and holiday hell.Welcome Home — by Mike Ashkewe – A troubled soul returns home for the holidays, only to find that the ghosts of the past aren't metaphors—they're hungry, patient, and waiting under the twinkling lights.The Day that Santa Died — by Charles Campbell – When armed security realizes the “elves” stalking a packed department store are real, Christmas Eve becomes a tactical nightmare and the big man in red becomes the ultimate high-value target.Scary Christmas To All — by David O'Hanlon – War-scarred assassin elves, the North Pole's Black Mittens, and a renegade named Candy Pain threaten to kill Christmas itself—unless Peppermint Ray can carve a path through the naughty list.Perfect for late-night listening with the tree glowing and the room dark, this episode packs Christmas horror, spooky stories, and full-on splatter into one massive holiday horror anthology. Press play, my spookies… and let the chilling stories of snow, Santa, and slaughter carry you all the way to New Year's.

Deep in Lapland's Whispering Woods, the Elves have planned a surprise for their kind-hearted friend Eeko - a secret woodland tea party woven with lantern light, berry tarts, and warm mugs of kindness. As forest creatures gather and the rain begins to patter softly on pine leaves, a day of gentle magic and friendship unfolds beneath the trees. Come listen to a tale where joy is brewed slowly, shared freely, and rhymed sweetly in the heart of the woods.

Gary & Shannon open the show with Gary’s take on All Her Fault, which Shannon insists is really a husband-appreciation series. They jump into surprise athletic comeback chatter — from Philip Rivers and Tom Brady to a mysteriously shredded Troy Aikman — all showcasing that signature “laser-eye” focus. They then break down President Trump’s new legislation aimed at speeding up U.S. AI development, explaining why the White House wants federal agencies to push back on state-level regulation and what it could mean for the tech industry. NewsNation’s Robert Sherman joins to discuss rising tensions with Venezuela and his new book Lessons from the Front. The hour wraps with holiday chaos involving Fonzy and Sprinkles — with Gary blaming Shannon for the mess — plus a look at why modern job titles are getting harder to explain in an AI-driven world.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hello! Here is this month's edition of Answer Us Back, full of your feedback on AMTs old and new - mostly pretty new.

Laura found a variety pack of stock, as yearned for by Olly in AMT407 - although is two flavours enough to count as 'variety'? Several people wrote in to chip in on AMT412's discussion of people with your same name using your email address; here we hear from Margaret and Daniel. After hearing AMT411's question from Charlie from Canberra - whose mother had lately found out she was the biological child of a prolific sperm donor and thus has 600+ siblings - we heard from many of you reflecting upon your similar experiences of finding you were the child of a sperm donor, or your parent learning that they were. David, Breanne and Jo share some remarkable responses.  If you've been storing thoughts about AMTs 1-412, send them to us for future episodes of Answer Us Back.  And as always, send in your questions, in voicenote or written form to answermethispodcast@googlemail.com, for all new AMT413 which will be in your podfeed 24 December 2025.  And keep AMT going by signing up at patreon.com/answermethis, where highest tier gets access to our ENTIRE back catalogue, including the paywalled episodes, the special albums, the Bonus Bits of Crapp on the AMT App (RIP) and all the Retro AMT episodes.

Gary & Shannon open the show with updates on Fonzy and Sprinkles, plus another chapter in the ongoing saga of being “accidentally” excluded from the iHeart holiday party. They break down President Trump’s claim of seizing “the largest tanker ever” off Venezuela and what Governor Newsom’s new memoir suggests about his national ambitions. The duo also digs into the Disney–OpenAI partnership and how AI access to Disney’s full character library could reshape entertainment. They close with the bizarre Canyon Crest Academy controversy, where a 24-hour “adult game show” filmed on campus left students confused and the district facing backlash.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ho! Ho! Ho! This week we cover the baffling incestuous nazi filled Christmas adjacent horror movie, Elves (1989). What felt like a fever dream and was equally difficult to describe, this was a hit for us. If you want to be confused for 90 minutes by muffled dialogue, almost indecipherable darkly lit scenes, and Elves that have been around since Noah's ark, this is the movie for you.Rae joins a sorority and has a pretty decent time with Mrs. Claus for this week's Tubi or Not TubiWhat We're WatchingOh.

I made a list of prompts, and wrote a bite-sized story for each one. They don’t live in the same universe, but they’re all a little off-kilter from what you might expect from holiday fare. And if you pay attention, you’ll notice that the last line of each story becomes the first line of the next. Today’s prompt is  Elves.  Excerpt: Her husband—“Santa” to the winking masses—sits in his study polishing spectacles, pretending not to hear. He hates this part. Always has. Kindness comes naturally to him. Old power does not. Episode Cast: Melissa A.

You clicked looking for something frosty and jolly… and ended up with Nazis, incest lore, horny mall teens, and a chain-smoking Santa Claus. Welcome to ELVES (1989) — the low-budget Christmas horror movie that dares to suggest Hitler was experimenting on elves to create a master race.In this episode, we break down the cult holiday nightmare starring Dan Haggerty (Grizzly Adams) as possibly the grizzliest Santa in cinema history. There's only one elf (it looks like a goblin), it kills with a steak knife, Santa smokes in every scene, and the movie somehow aired on broadcast TV despite profanity, nudity, and some truly cursed plot twists.Along the way, we cover:Why Christmas was once outlawed in MassachusettsEvil elf mythology & Nazi Christmas loreThe most uncomfortable mid-movie reveal you'll ever seeWhy Dan Haggerty is way too good for this movieAnd how the ending accidentally completes the evil prophecyThis is B-movie Christmas chaos, and you kind of need to see it once — if only to believe it exists.Rating: Binge never… but experience required.30 Days FREE Huludays https://tr.ee/JohnnyHulu

Send me a Text Message!In this episode we take a break from Revelation, but still connecting to our Christmas prayer, "Come Lord Jesus." Jesus is the something more of Christmas. He is our Christmas treasure. He is the more our hearts long for. When it comes to the continuing story of Christmas...Jesus is written all over the pages of the book. It's so easy to focus on all the other elements. Shepherds and Wisemen and angels oh my. Mangers and Santa and Elves oh my. But nothing matters more than Jesus. Do we treasure him? Do we hold him in our hearts?Jesus is the something more of Christmas!
