Podcasts about Christmas

Surprisingly, Cabbage Patch Kids have turned up on SYSK almost as much as the Nazis or Seinfeld. It’s finally time to dive all the way into CPKs, from their controversial origins to the Christmas craze of ‘83 to their alter egos, Garbage Pail Kids.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ever since Cabbage Patch Kids came along in 1983, there’s been an annual holiday frenzy around one particular toy – the must-have Christmas toy of the year. But what makes a toy a must-have toy? Josh and Chuck investigate (and kick off the holidays).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, the boys conclude the tale of Ronald Gene Simmons, the grouchy, incestuous, ex-military drifter who decided Christmas was cancelled in 1987. After decades of paranoia, control, and delusion, Simmons saw the season's first hints of cheer as the perfect excuse for a meticulously planned, full-scale annihilation of his family tree. What follows is a grim spiral into the life of a man who approached murder with the precision of a holiday checklist, leaving a trail of horror that turned a quiet Arkansas winter into a nightmare no one could escape.

It ain't Christmas b*tch! Our favorite old crone Jessica St. Clair joins us for our annual holiday livestream to break down 2015's Merry Kissmas—a movie with a softly magical elevator filled with unwanted kisses. They discuss Doris Roberts' forceful smooch, the flirty cousins, Kayla's obsession with the Nutcracker doll, the eccentric German shopkeeper, Carlton's triangular facial hair, the worst Santa ever, and so much more. Is it ok to commit adultery with your elevator soulmate? Is it normal to have a favorite pair of socks? Should you grab a face while kissing? The answers to all these questions get debated loudly and passionately. Merry Kissmas and a Happy Blowyear! • Our holiday virtual livestream is on Dec 10th!

Rightly so, at Christmas, people who are suffering want to know, “Why should I be merry? What basis do I really have for joy?” The answer is that if Christmas really happened, if God really did open a cleft in the pitiless walls of this world, if he broke into our broken reality with his healing power, if he became a human being, then there are three solid bases for joy in any circumstance.  If Christmas happened, then even in the deepest grief, you can feel these three things holding you up: 1) our bad things will turn out for good, 2) our most truly good things can never be taken away from us, and 3) our best things are yet to come.

On this episode of Ask, Tell, Confess, Bunnie Xo and the crew bounce from holiday plans to hot takes, and nothing is off-limits. From traveling to Branson and Vegas to debating matching Christmas pajamas, they unpack the weird mix of holiday joy, burnout, and wanting life to go back to normal already.Things take a turn into unfiltered territory as they air out their biggest public pet peeves — airplane etiquette included. Reclining seats, bare feet on armrests, phone flashlights, grocery store obliviousness… if you've ever been silently raging in public, this one's for you.But it doesn't stop there. The conversation gets serious as the group calls out the disturbing trend of live-streaming children's punishments, expressing real concern about exploitation, accountability, and the long-term impact of social media on kids. They dive into overstimulation, boundaries, and the difference between growing up as “bedroom kids” versus “living room kids.”The episode wraps with a powerful discussion on cutting off toxic family members, protecting your peace, and why choosing mental health over blood ties isn't a trend — it's survival. Equal parts chaotic, relatable, and deeply honest, this episode hits everything from petty to profound… classic ATC energy.Watch Full Episodes & More:YouTubeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

MUSICRoger Daltrey of The Who is now SIR Roger Daltrey. He was knighted by Prince William at Windsor Castle on Wednesday. It's in recognition of not only his musical achievements, but also his charity work. Here he is on the award, and what his younger self and band would've thought back in the day. https://consequence.net/2025/12/sir-roger-daltrey-knighted/ Sharon Osbourne has given her first interview since the death of her husband Ozzy this past July.Appearing Wednesday on the British TV show Piers Morgan Uncensored, hosted by her longtime friend, she opened up about his health struggles, doing his final show this past July 5th in Birmingham, England, their last conversations and much more. You can watch the show on YouTube, and here are a few excerpts:Sharon Osbourne on the last two weeks of Ozzy's life. OC:...in seven years. :27 [Courtesy of Piers Morgan Uncensored]"He was so happy Piers afterwards. And he kept looking at the papers and he goes to me, 'I never knew so many people like me.' But that was the way he was. I mean, he knew he was famous, but not to the amount that people loved him. It's a whole different thing. And he was just so happy. Happier than we'd seen him in seven years."Sharon Osbourne on dreams Ozzy was having the last week of his life. OC:...he was ready. :26 [Courtesy of Piers Morgan Uncensored]"He was having dreams the last week of his life. He was seeing people that he never knew. I said, 'Well, what kind of people?' He goes, 'All different people. And I just keep walking and walking and I'm seeing all these different people every night. And I go back there and I'm looking at these people and they're looking at me and nobody's talking.' And he he knew. He was ready." Sharon also talked about the first time she and Ozzy met, when they fell in love, how she will never want to get married again, how if she didn't have kids she would have killed herself when he died, and the thing she misses most is holding his hand.On a lighter note, she also talked about how she wanted to get back at Roger Waters for the negative things he said about Ozzy after he died. And that was by sending him a Tiffany box filled with feces, which she used to do to critics who wrote negative reviews about Ozzy's shows without being there. When she did, it was her infant son Jack's poop that would be used.She ultimately decided against it, saying, “Even that is a waste, to send [crap] to him. It's a waste because he's really insignificant. But I just thought, anybody that passes has a family… you don't do that.” (Sharon's not the first musician's wife to do that. Paul and Linda McCartney sent some of their daughter Stella's poop to a journalist who earned their trust, then betrayed them.)Going forward, Sharon says she's continuing to work on an Ozzy bio-pic and that she knows who she wants to play him. When asked if it was Yunglbud she didn't confirm nor deny.https://youtu.be/aaLMsEJKZEQ Kurt Cobain's MTV Unplugged Martin D-18E has been donated to the Royal College of Music London by Peter Freedman, who paid $6,010,000 for it at an auction in 2020.

But there are plenty of other films that spark the same argument, "Is this actually a Christmas movie?" Here are 13 more:1. Every "Harry Potter" movie (2001 - 2011). All the "Potter" flicks . . . with the possible exception of the last one . . . have some kind of yuletide vibe . . . or at least a wintry one.2. "Batman Returns" (1992). One of the big set pieces is the lighting of the Gotham Christmas tree.3. "Eyes Wide Shut" (1999). Even though it was released in July, it takes place over Christmas.4. "Gremlins" (1984). This one has Christmas written all over it. And also little green, murderous demons.5. "First Blood" (1982). The first of the "Rambo" films has a Christmas tree in the background of one scene. So . . . Christmas movie!!!6. "Trading Places" (1983). There's a Christmas party, and Dan Aykroyd as a drunken Santa waving a handgun. But it doesn't end on December 25th. If it's a Christmas movie, then it also qualifies as a New Year's movie.7. "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" (2005). This one takes place during the Christmas season in L.A. And it was released in November.8. "Edward Scissorhands" (1990). Kind of a no-brainer.9. "Lethal Weapon" (1987). Another one of those action movies that HAPPENS to take place around Christmas.10. "Rocky" (1976). This might be the greatest American holiday film of all time, because it includes Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's. And also punching.11. "Hook" (1991). The scenes in the real world, outside Neverland, are set at Christmas. 12. "Iron Man 3" (2013). The whole movie plays out around Christmas.13. "The Nightmare Before Christmas" (1993). Is it a Christmas movie or a Halloween movie? Why not both?AND THAT IS YOUR CRAP ON CELEBRITIES!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Happy Friday Heal Squad. It's a Lonely Guy Friday from Los Angeles…the loneliest city of all. Kev's lonely guy return to the city of 'angels' experiences traffic jams, strange encounters, unexpected conversations, a gong two inches from your forehead, initial judgement about the city and then universal revelations. On that note, how the universe sends reminders, sometimes profound and yet sometimes absurd and how the latter may be the message you need to receive. How downsizing mentally, emotionally, and physically could clear space for what actually matters… parenting, purpose, peace, creativity, and the small rituals that make life real. Why this stretch of December (the sweet spot between now and Christmas) is the perfect time to soften, reconnect and enjoy. You can spend these last days of the year finishing strong or maybe, just maybe, spend the time letting go and being present. There are no wrong answers.  A reminder of what Bozo the clown would say at the end of each episode” just keep laughing!

We are talking everything from black tie outfit stress to internet pile-ons. Dani and Jordan start with a funny recap of their formal Christmas party prep: pregnancy body feelings, dress hunting, a last minute red Amazon gown, a steamer that soaks Jordan's shirt, and the kind of tiny misunderstanding that somehow feels huge when you are married and trying to get out the door on time. Then they dive into Alix Earle and Braxton, Jaclyn Hill's viral “it is the algorithm” video and why so many people are weighing in, plus what it is like to live and work online right now. They talk Trad Wife versus Girl Boss extremes, the Ballerina Farm discourse, “relatable” content in a rough economy, Stella at the Nutcracker, and how to stay sane when the internet is doing the most.

Dive into the absurdity of a dog turning the tables and shooting a man, plus the hilariously tragic scene at Opie's building Christmas party featuring that pitiful kosher food table that had everyone questioning life choices. We break down why those unflappable kids didn't freak out when a plane crash-landed on a car right on I-95, and put Oreos to the ultimate test—do they burn under a blowtorch or just melt into delicious defeat? And let's not forget calling out Andy Dick for being, well, a total dick in ways that'll have you laughing and shaking your head.

Hollywood says Krampus is an ancient Christmas demon with roots in pagan mythology — but there's no evidence any of that is true. The real story of how this monster came to be is stranger than any legend. #HolidayHorrorsIN THIS EPISODE: We're all familiar with the poem “A Visit From St. Nicholas” – better known as, “Twas The Night Before Christmas”. But while we know the poem, we can't be quite as sure about who wrote it. (The Christmas Poem That Started a Feud) *** One of the great (and now, sadly, lapsed) Christmas traditions is the telling of ghost stories. On one particular year, a British teenager took this pastime to a whole other level. He didn't read about a Christmas Eve haunting. He experienced one. (The Phantom Choir of St. Albans) *** The past few years have made Krampus, the Christmas devil, a star of the big screen. But have you noticed that every version of him is different than the others? This may of course be in part to creative license, but it might have just as much if not more to do with the fact that none of the filmmakers had any idea of just what Krampus truly is, what he is all about, and how terrifying he can be. (Krampus, The Christmas Monster) *** Disaster strikes a small Illinois town on Christmas Eve, stripping away all that was merry and bright for the families who lived there.

#HolidayHorrors | Hundreds of people have reported encounters with what looks exactly like Santa Claus — and they weren't children dreaming on Christmas Eve. If the real Santa doesn't exist, what are these witnesses actually seeing... and why does it want to be seen?IN THIS EPISODE: Many of us are familiar with the flip side of Father Christmas – the darker entity who visits and kidnaps bad children, Krampus. But when it comes to true fear, even Krampus would run in terror at the sight of Iceland's Gryla, the Christmas Witch! With roots dating back to the 13th century, Gryla is not to be messed with! (Iceland's Christmas Witch) *** It was Christmastime, 1938, and 19-year-old Margaret Martin had just graduated from Wilkes-Barre Business College with honors and was eager to secure a secretarial job. Her eagerness would lead to her disappearance. (The Murder of Margaret Martin) *** Ask anyone over the age of twelve what they think about the existence of Santa Claus and you'll most assuredly get the same answer. But that has not stopped people of all ages reporting sightings of the jolly old elf, and some of the stories are downright creepy. (People Who Swear They've Seen the Real Santa Claus) *** Two murders committed in the same house during the holidays of 1928 appear to have resulted in the spirits of Christmas past haunting the place today.

But that's exactly what happened to Kate.Kate is currently taking care of her dad, and life is just passing her by. That's why she did this thing — this thing that ended up giving her the most amazing Christmas ever. She fell in love. But we'll get there.Cut back to three weeks earlier. She goes to check on her dad, Mac, who—despite being supposed to move around more—is doing the opposite, which has her worried.She stops by a coffee shop and her friend Laura tells her she got her a Christmas gift: a Christmas-themed dating service. Kate is NOT into it.So Laura, Calum, and Mac stage a full-on intervention. Her dad tells her she's too young to spend every evening with him. She reluctantly agrees to the 12 Dates thing… which starts in 90 minutes!She goes, and it's very elaborate. A horse and carriage takes her to a magical igloo in the woods. The problem is… her date never shows.Meanwhile, Mac finally gets back out there. He goes to the coffee shop and bumps into Evalyn — and he's not upset about it.Kate decides to give the service another shot and ends up on a skating date with a guy named Oliver. Despite the fact that he talks about his ex the entire time, they find themselves standing under mistletoe. They decide to go for it and kiss — which immediately leads to him breaking down in tears.Mac is walking around town getting a little exercise when Evalyn pops out and drags him into a dance workout class. He doesn't stay long and walks out.It's time for Date #3. She shows up for a baking competition date and meets her GIANT date, Anthony. The date doesn't go terribly… until he suddenly wants to talk about marriage and kids. She doesn't even know what she wants, and he's like, “Well then why are you even doing this?!”Evalyn helps Mac home and basically tells him to stop feeling sorry for himself. He ends up back at her dance class and crushes it.Kate gets flowers and a card from Richard — the first-date no-show. He apologizes for goofing and says he's down at the coffee shop waiting for her. But by the time she builds up the courage to go, he's gone. He leaves his number, so she texts him that he missed out again. He replies that next time he'll wait all night.This turns into a flirty texting conversation. She finds out he's a journalist working on a story about the 12 Dates. He's also a love skeptic. And he loves Die Hard. Maybe this is the perfect match.At the next date event, she talks with a woman who fell for her first date — but sees him dancing with someone else. So Kate becomes fully committed to getting those two back together… and she does.Mac is putting up Christmas lights, feeling himself, until he falls off the ladder and re-injures himself. Instead of calling Kate, he calls Evalyn. She comes over to help — but Kate is NOT thrilled when she finds out.It's time for the next event: Mates & Dates. A lot happens here.Richard finally shows up… and he might be the hottest guy in the world.Crying-in-her-mouth Oliver is there — and it turns out his ex-girlfriend is Calum's current girlfriend, Sarah. Calum shows up to support Kate. It's A LOT.Richard gets frustrated that Kate is running around helping everyone else all night, so he goes to leave. Kate runs after him and ends up kissing him. He kisses her right back — REAL BIG ONES — while Calum and Sarah watch through the window… Sarah pumped, Calum not so much.

In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin: We take a closer look at the dramatic U.S. seizure of a Venezuelan oil tanker and examine the legal authority behind the raid. Venezuela is calling it piracy, while the U.S. insists the case is clear-cut. We'll explain what the law actually says. Later in the show, several major U.S. chipmakers — including Intel and AMD — are facing lawsuits accusing them of failing to prevent their technology from ending up in Russian missiles and drones used in Ukraine.

The first major look at SUPERGIRL has finally arrived, and fans are already fired up. On today's episode of The Kristian Harloff Show, we break down the brand-new Supergirl trailer, the early reactions to the initial footage, and why some viewers are comparing her vibe to "a female Star-Lord." Is this the tone James Gunn and DC are aiming for, and does the trailer live up to the hype? We dig into every detail with a full Supergirl trailer breakdown. We also cover several major stories across the entertainment world. Fantastic Four's Disney+ launch fizzles, raising questions about Marvel's momentum. Meanwhile, Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson return to The Hunger Games, signaling a surprising new direction for the franchise. On the sci-fi front, we discuss the first look at Steven Spielberg's mysterious UFO film, including reported plot details and potential titles that have fans buzzing. And over in the MCU, it looks like the highly anticipated AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY trailer may be delayed yet again. With rumors suggesting we may not see it this week—or even next week—the anticipation continues to build. From DC's big Supergirl reveal to Marvel shake-ups, Hunger Games updates, and Spielberg's latest project, this episode is packed with analysis, speculation, and industry insight.
