This year, we're focusing on two different cannibalistic monsters from Christmas folklore: Père Fouettard and Hans Trapp. Because it turns out that child cannibalism really is the reason for the season—and perhaps Santa Claus is the biggest cannibal of all. What is Santa hiding under those jolly cheeks and that big white beard? Strap in, pour yourself your favorite holiday beverage, and get ready for a wild ride into the dark side of Christmas.

Episodio 327

A Somali-American says his community is living in fear, after a series of ugly comments by U.S. President Donald Trump -- language he says need to be called out as racism, pure and simple.The ICC's first chief prosecutor says American strikes on alleged Venezuelan drug boats are definitely illegal -- and possibly a war crime. One family's hopes of bringing their adopted daughter from Kenya to Canada to celebrate Christmas with her grandparents are fading -- after two failed attempts to secure a travel visa for her. Pioneering sociologist Kai Erikson spent his life studying and validating the effects of collective trauma -- work, his friend tells us, that drew on his own compassion.We'll talk to the winner of this year's un-prestigious Turnip Prize, which honours the worst and laziest artist in Britain -- if he can be bothered to pick up the phone. Police get multiple complaints about a Brantford, Ontario resident who put up signs denying the existence of Santa Claus during the town's Santa Claus parade -- proving you give some people a grinch, and they'll take a mile. As It Happens, the Wednesday Edition. Radio that guesses he's some kind of rebel without a Claus.

Santa gets more mail every year than any other person on earth, but the earliest letters that I know of were not to him. They were from him. Later on, it became more normal to write to him and ask for what you were hoping to get for Christmas. This episode covers a sampling of letters from the 1850s to the 1950s, and then finishes off with the story behind one of the most famous lines in American journalism: "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus."

In this episode of The Vacay Summer Drop Series, we’re rehashing one of our all-time favourite adventures to binge over summer. Sophie Jackson is joined by Jacinta from Helloworld to explore Finland’s enchanting northern region, Lapland, the official home of Santa Claus. Together they dive into everything this magical destination offers, from witnessing the awe-inspiring Northern Lights and visiting Santa Claus Village, to racing through the wilderness on a dog sled. They also uncover the surprising charm of Lapland in summer, the “Land of the Midnight Sun,” where the days never end and the adventures don’t either. A true bucket-list destination.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're diving into Frau Perchta, a Christmas witch who visited homes with iron scissors and a taste for porridge...whether she had to cut it out of you or not. We'll also cover the real Saint Nicholas and his disturbing miracles, and the demonic Krampuses who worked alongside him to drag sinners straight to hell.

Johnny Spoiler dives headfirst into FATMAN (2020) — the unholy collision of Christmas cheer and hard-edged action starring Mel Gibson as a battle-worn Santa Claus and Walton Goggins as a vengeful hitman.In this episode of the Binge-Watchers Podcast, we break down why Fatman feels like the gritty fake action movie advertised inside Scrooged, how Walton Goggins absolutely carries the film, and why this version of Santa is closer to Superman than a slasher villain.Before the review, Johnny reacts to 2025 Christmas trends including:The rise of vintage 1990s Christmas aestheticsWhy Christmas trees are getting smallerThe bizarre popularity of holiday whiskey gimmicksWhy roe > caviar at holiday parties (we said what we said)Plus:Christmas movie chart shifts (Elf, The Grinch, Home Alone)Thoughts on the Silent Night, Deadly Night remakeWhy Fatman doesn't quite kill Santa — and why that mattersDeep lore questions: is Santa powered by goodwill… or force?If you're building your Christmas movie watchlist, curious about Santa action movies, or burned out but still searching for something rowdy, weird, and holiday-adjacent — this episode's for you.Binge it now.

It seems to have gone quite smoothly!  Return to Hawkins! With the final season of "Stranger Things" making its long-awaited debut, the guys are pumped for more. Santa Claus?? The naughty list has a new face of terror, as the trio discovers other parts of the world and celebrates a bit differently.

Well they can't all be winners. This week we're kicking off our annual holiday Slash Yule series of slasher movies. We started with one from 2020 that kind of falls flat, in our opinions. It's hard to image the director wasn't just trolling everyone with this movie. It's "The Fright Before Christmas" from 2020. When a magical, maniacal Santa Claus mysteriously appears at a holiday party, the guests all end up terrified and tortured. But the physical torture is only the beginning. This Santa also insists on telling them scary stories, which aren't scary at all and seem kind of pointless. So it's psychological torture too I guess. Anyway, we thought it had potential but missed the mark. We still had a lot of fun talking about it.

Christmas in the United States is often described as familiar: twinkling lights, evergreen trees, stockings hung by the mantel, gifts wrapped in glossy paper, and Santa Claus smiling from every corner of commerce. Yet beneath these recognizable images lies a far older, stranger, and far more diverse story — one stitched together over centuries by immigrants, enslaved peoples, Indigenous nations, settlers, soldiers, missionaries, and merchants. American Christmas is not one tradition but hundreds, layered like sediment, each describing a different ancestor's hope, longing, belief, and memory. The United States has a reputation for materialism at Christmastime. It is a reputation earned through decades of marketing, consumer culture, and the economic engine that grew around the holiday after the 19th century. But the heart of American Christmas, in its origins, is not shopping: it is the ancient story of Bethlehem. And even more than that, it is the story of how families — your ancestors and mine — carried their own customs across oceans and over borders, blending them into the uniquely American mosaic. This first entry sets the stage for the rest of the series. We begin not because the United States invented Christmas (it didn't), nor because its customs are the most ancient (they aren't), but because its holiday practices reflect what happens when countless traditions collide. In this way, to understand American Christmas is to know how Christmas transforms whenever it migrates. That's the genealogical key: Christmas is a cultural fingerprint. It reveals where a family came from, what it valued, and how it adapted. For the genealogist, American Christmas is a treasure map. Gifts, songs, recipes, décor, and even the date a family opened presents can hint at ethnic origins. And as we go country by country this month, you'll see how the United States absorbed practices from almost every place we explore. But before we wander outward, we begin at home — in a land where Christmas was once banned, later revived, commercialized, sanctified, reinvented, and constantly reborn through the eyes of new arrivals...

Chuck Zodda and Mike Armstrong discuss what to expect in markets this week. Why Wall Street says December may not deliver a Santa Claus rally. Shoppers, drawn by steep discounts, power through Black Friday. Gen Z shoppers aren't spending like retailers need them to. Fed's beige book shows K-Shaped split deepens among consumers. Trump says he has made his choice to lead the Fed.

A celebration of Christmas and the holiday season beginning with acclaimed actor Rick Foucheux's humorous tale of putting up his fake Christmas tree, alongside the Christmas classic, “Yes Virginia, There is a Santa Claus” and a wondrous rendering of the popular Irish-language Christmas carol “Don Oiche Úd i mBeithil” performed by The Rose musical group The Gamut.  With seasonal bonus tracks.

Send us a textOn the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are on a mission to prove that Santa Claus is real. We watched the 1947 film from George Seaton, Miracle on 34th Street.Look, this is a great and heartwarming movie. It brought joy to our lives. However, we've got a bone to pick with some of the people in it—who in their right mind would ever go after Santa like that?What, are they asking for eternal coal in their stockings? Are they trying to make the reindeer cry? Sure, you need conflict in a story, but dang, those sure are some naughty boys. Don't know what I'm talking about?

Kevin Goodman is an Orthodox convert in Baltimore. He volunteers with the St. Nicholas Tele-Santa program, a free service in collaboration with the GOA, offering video calls with children to teach about the original Santa Claus, St. Nicholas of Myra.

Date: November 30, 2025 Speaker: Rev. Jason Coker Scripture: Isaiah 2:1–5 Welcome to the first week of Advent at The Collective Table. In this episode, Co-Lead Minister Jason Coker explores the season's first theme: Hope. We often think of hope as a childish wish for magic—like the anticipation of Santa Claus on Christmas morning. But what happens when we grow up and face the inevitable disillusionment of the world? Jason guides us through the journey from "childish naiveté" through adolescent cynicism, and finally into what philosopher Paul Ricoeur calls a "Second Naiveté"—a mature, chosen hope that believes in peace even when the world is at war. Drawing from the prophet Isaiah, we look at the radical vision of a God who teaches wisdom rather than conquest, and an invitation to turn our swords into plowshares right here and now. Key Takeaways: The Evolution of Hope: Moving from the "childish magic" of believing in Santa Claus to the "adult magic" of realizing we are loved by people who truly see us. Tribal Warrior vs. Universal Teacher: How Isaiah 2 shifts the image of God from a tribal chieftain of war to a universal source of wisdom and instruction. The Second Naiveté: Overcoming cynicism not by forcing God's hand, but by choosing to believe in goodness and righteousness despite the evidence around us. Walking the Talk: A celebration of the Oceanside Sanctuary community's 150th Anniversary and a reminder that our actions provide the evidence that this "naive" hope is real. Memorable Quotes: "When you go and try to conquer on that God's behalf, you have fundamentally said you do not believe in a God of goodness and righteousness and peace."

Did the Oilers acutally play a solid 60 minutes of hockey against the Seattle Kraken on Saturday... YUP! Are we going to talk about it and play as many goal songs as possible... YUP!   After the songs, we recapped everyone's weekends and touched on as much sport as possible from Oilers related to non Oilers related.   After the break, we got an amazing visit from Santa Claus! He read some mail from both naughty and nice kids from all over the world.   Because it is the first day of December, the fellas started opening their Advents Calendars from Wayne's Sports Cards & Collectables.   We finished off hour one with our good, our bad and ugly from the weekend!

To summarize Saturday Night's Santa Claus parade broadcast on Cabin Radio: The Grinch showed up late, The Grinch got angry, Santa Claus warmed his icy heart...and Krampus creeped out everyone.

Fortune cookies, Christ's birth as Savior, and Santa Claus rolling through a Christmas parade.   First Sunday in Advent: Jer. 23:5–8, Rom. 13:(8–10) 11–14, Matt. 21:1–9

Every year, we love to celebrate the holiday season with our listeners, and there is no better way to do that than with our 2025 Holiday Special! It all started 10 years ago with a random idea: we were big fans of holiday specials, yet podcasts seemed to skip over the idea completely. Therefore, we decided we can do whatever we want here at The Hollywood Outsider, so let's create our own tradition and the Annual Holiday Special was born! Every year we rekindle the past (and occasionally add a little something new), assembling some of the best moments from our hosts for the most fantastic holiday special ever! Debating what constitutes a Christmas movie and specials we love, what makes for a great Christmas movie, Christmas cliches, and even our Holiday Spirit Movie Battle Royale! That's not all, oh no. The Christmas spirit kicks into overdrive as we open up and share our personal memories of the holiday season, stories that remind us of Christmas. And no holiday special would be complete without a visit from the big man himself, so get ready for as much St. Nick as legally allowed as Santa Claus drops by the studio to tell us just how naughty or nice we are, all throughout the episode! With a special game from Amanda, Santa in his sleigh, John's obsession with puppets, Troy's intriguing selection of Holiday Spirit films, Scott's first Christmas Poem, Bad Santa, and a lot of fun for everyone – This is the one podcast you don't want to miss this holiday season!

Phil Rosen believes the recent tech sell-off has been overblown and creates new buying opportunities for investors. As for the TPU and GPU discussions surrounding Alphabet (GOOGL) and Nvidia (NVDA), he sees both companies continuing to prosper for the foreseeable future. Phil tells investors to brace for a Santa Claus rally as he sees many headwinds behind markets. He also sees a more dovish FOMC once Jerome Powell leaves his position as Fed chair. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

What's up, dudes? It's the 40th anniversary of Santa Claus: The Movie! Pax Holley from Cult Film Club, Crestwood House, and I Read Movies is with me to talk all about the novelization!  Santa Claus: The Movie was released in 1985, and it chronicled the origin of the Jill old elf himself. Eventually, it transitions into anDudley Moore vehicle as his elf character Patch takes center stage. Patch feels unappreciated and sets out into the world to prove himself. The novelization fills some plot points the movie left out due to time constraints. For example, the elves used to deliver the gifts themselves, but stopped as it grew harder. Also, in preparation for the big flight, they built a simulator for Santa. The novelization even explains why Santa has to go down chimneys due to modern man's lack of trust in one another. Oh, and Patch returns to the Pole and shares Santa's assistant duties with Puffy.Sleigh flight simulator? Check. Confirmation of Cornelia's adoption? For sure. Kids writing letters to Santa apologizing for their lack of faith? Definitely! So grab your stardust, eat some magic candy canes, and fly into this episode on the novelization of Santa Claus: The Movie!Cult Film ClubFB: @CultFilmClub Twitter: @CFCPod IG: @cultfilmclub Hellbent for LetterboxGive us a buzz!

What if your family's pioneer past looked exactly like your favorite childhood TV show? When Lisa Elzey discovered her great-great-grandfather's story, she realized she'd been watching his life every Monday night on Little House on the Prairie. Complete with homesteading, hand-hewn cabins, and a white beard down to his belly.In this episode, Lisa shares how a purple-inked memoir written by her great-grandmother's half-sister unlocked the story of Johann Heinrich Seba, a German immigrant who arrived alone at 18, hacked through Minnesota wilderness for a mile and a half in a single day, and became so beloved his community lowered flags to half-staff when he died. For decades, Lisa and her mother searched for his origins in Germany, writing letters to archives and scrolling through endless microfilm reels. Then in 2016, a single search on Ancestry revealed not just where he was from, but a family secret hidden in Lutheran christening records that changed everything they thought they knew.Discover how one ancestor's story can bridge four generations of women, why a steeple clock matters more than any antique collection, and what happens when patience meets the right record at exactly the right time.〰️

In this Thanksgiving-week episode of Money Moves, Matty and Ryan break down the short trading week, early retail numbers, and the critical role the holiday consumer will play in determining whether the market surges to new all-time highs—or whether we've already topped out.They dive into the early indicators: in-store bodies, doorbuster traffic, Black Friday predictions, technical market strength, and the shifting probability of a December rate cut. Ryan explains why current technicals are flashing a “strong buy,” why oscillators are turning bullish, and how recent market dips gave disciplined investors an opportunity to position ahead of a potential Santa Claus rally.The conversation expands into consumer spending strength, housing affordability, rising delinquencies, the impact of mortgage rates, food inflation, credit card debt, and broader macro risks that could either support or threaten a market breakout. Matty and Ryan close with their expectations for Black Friday/Cyber Monday data—and how those numbers could dictate market momentum into 2026.If you're trying to understand where the market goes next, this episode offers a grounded, data-driven roadmap heading into the biggest shopping week of the year.Topics Covered:Thanksgiving week overview and expectations for a short trading weekEarly holiday retail indicators: in-store traffic, doorbusters, and initial consumer sentimentTechnical analysis showing bullish signals: oscillators, moving averages, and momentum strengthMarket timing vs. long-term buying strategy during dipsRate-cut probability surging ahead of the December FOMC meetingLabor market softening and the impact on consumer spending behaviorDeep dive into housing affordability and rising median homebuyer ageDelinquencies increasing: credit cards, auto loans, and broader consumer strainInflation pressures: food, auto, and insurance costs holding steady at elevated levelsMortgage rates, supply issues, and debates around 30-year vs. 50-year mortgagesSpeculation surrounding Trump's potential Fed chair appointment and aggressive rate-cut theoriesAI chip tensions between NVIDIA and Google affecting tech-sector sentimentThe critical role of Black Friday and Cyber Monday data for year-end market trajectoryPredictions for a potential Santa Claus rally depending on holiday consumer strengthEpisode Sponsored By:Discover Financial Millionaire Mindcast Shop: Buy the Rich Life Planner and Get the Wealth-Building Bundle for FREE!
