    Wait. YOU haven’t seen Arthur Christmas!?!? It was even on Netflix! I kind of feel disappointed. But not much, it was a fairly small release. It’s a fun movie and shows different ways people celebrate xmas! Give it a try! It’s fun!

  2. Dave says:

    Ahh, the Ber months. I love the sound of that! I think folks in the Philippines are definitely on to something. Let’s get this party started! I’m definitely onboard with your Christmas Hall of Fame picks, and although you make a strong case for Mary I think I’d still reverse 1 and 2. Thanks for another great podcast Tim! I definitely needed it as I head out now to mow the grass in the 100+ degree temps outside… ugh.

  3. Marcia Poppins says:

    I don’t know who Dave is, but I so like his thought processes!!! If not switching 1 & 2 for the Hall of Fame, maybe a tie for 1st place (like the ugly sweater contest) because Jesus needed Mary, and Mary would be just another wonderful Mother without Jesus. The folks in the Philippines already were on to something with their lumpias (YUMMMMM!!!), so a lumpia on countdown day 100, a fortune cookie (oops Christmas cookie) on day 99, lumpia on 98….
    This “Bomb for Christmas” is really getting good! Now, not only can I not wait for Christmas, I can’t wait for 9/25/20. Terrific Cast!!! Miss the boys.

    With the shocking revelation that you have not seen Santa Claus The Movie since you were a kid, combined with the absolute SCANDALOUS fact that you’ve never seen Arthur Claus OR Grumpy Cat’s Worst Christmas Ever, I would like to propose that there be a Can’t Wait For Christmas PATREON ACCOUNT set up so we can help pay for you to see these movies! Netflix, Hulu, CBS All Access, Amazon Prime, HBOMax, STARZOnline, TMC, etc… this ain’t cheap! LET US HELP YOU, TIM! I recently set up a Patreon for my Weird Lamps stream and it was *so easy* and *so encouraging* to see just how many people were willing to chip in and help! Alternately, I’ll just have to start mailing you DVD’s I guess? We CAN NOT have our favorite Christmas Podcaster walking around having never seen Grumpy Cat’s Worst Christmas Ever!
