Advent Calendar House | Cricket on the Hearth Rankin/Bass presents a Dickens of a story, but not that one. Guest: Brian Earl. Find show notes at https://adventcalendar.house

Rankin/Bass’s first Christmas special after Rudolph was the traditionally animated “Cricket on the Hearth.” This version takes a hard left turn into a song about fish ’n’ chips performed by a burlesque cat, and it only gets weirder.

So here’s an old podcast about it with @christmaspast.bsky.social.

Blast from the past! Thanks for having me on, Mike!

A mysterious philanthropist spent more than 25 years giving out cash anonymously at Christmas time to those in need. 💵🎄

Happy Saturday, Sugarplums!

It’s the last weekend before Christmas. 🎄

All that anticipation has many of us reminiscing about our favorite Christmas memories. And Christmas past is back with another episode, dedicated to exactly that.

Much has been said about the so-called “Christmas Truce” during World War One.

What was really behind the armistice? Was it the Christmas spirit of peace on earth and goodwill toward men? Or is it more nuanced than that?

#ChristmasTruce #worldwarone #thegreatwar #christmashistory

1968 was a tumultuous year for the U.S. and the world. But on Christmas Eve of that year, the world came together to witness an astounding feat and the dawn of a new era.

#1968 #lunarorbit #christmashistory

A tragic accident the week before Christmas gave way to a story of a heroic response, a lasting friendship, and a unique Christmas tradition.
