Just found your podcast this morning and love it!! Wanted to mention that I’m fairly sure the 12 days of Christmas begins with Christmas and goes to Epiphany. It’s not 12 days before Christmas, which is advent.
Hey, Melissa. You’re absolutely correct. But as most people celebrate leading up to Christmas rather than after, many people have taken the meaning of the 12 days of Christmas to be BEFORE Christmas. I should probably address this on the next show. Thanks! 🙂
Fruity Pebbles! I forgot all about those commercials. I loved those! Thanks for a great 5 golden things.
Great show, but I was waiting for your kids to sing. “On the 1 day of Christmas…” The razor commercial was so good cause the “floating heads, floating head, floating all the way” was a great Jingle Bells takeoff and the bear using the floating heads for a sled looked extremely comfortable sliding down the snow covered hill. By the way, CONGRATULATIONS on the article: “Christmas Past and the Best Podcasts to Listen to” by More Content Now. Nice write up and you looked good too. Excellent letter reading by that young girl on your show.
