Yuletide Records

Just in time for the semiquincentennial celebration of our beloved USA, we're back and we're packing some serious boiled goose. But before we get ahead of ourselves we need to know...should Prime Day also be considered a national holiday? And while we're voting on that, let's talk about our right to vote for our favorite Christmas customs and traditions when compared to our friends across the pond...

No bears in this one. But somehow a walrus and a hippopotamus get mentioned. We tried to stay the course with Dame Angela Lansbury, and we were doing great and then all of the sudden we're in slasher movie territory and worked our way all the way back to the boozy eggnog-loving patriot, George (Michael) Washington. So much for the show notes. You're going to have to make up your own mind on what m...

It's hot. Like, hot hot. There's actually an excessive heat warning as we're doing this, and that can only mean one thing. Summer. We're almost at the halfway mark between Christmases. And there's no better way to stay cool than to jump into an episode dedicated to bears...er...well, kind of. But that's just the tip of the proverbial Christmas iceberg for this one. We've decide to take on a multip...

Double Digits for this one. We finally made it to 10 episodes! This has been so much fun and we are so glad to be back in action for this special episode. We're letting St. Nick share the stage with another venerated holiday character and that's good ol' St. Partick. But that's not even his real name. And if that's not enough...he wasn't even born in Ireland. So how did he get there? Did he really...

It's been way too long friends, but we're back. And we all made sure to mark ourselves safe from the Winter Blitzkrieg that attacked most of the US.  Although we may have to check on Tatum every time the tempature drops below freezing from now on.  And if you're asking yourself, is there really any more Christmas content to talk about - the answer is always yes. We're gonna talk about a fairly obs...

This is a good one! We've got all the topics that we're going to cover this year. From Austrailan crows to Christmas in space and we're mapping it all out and inviting everyone in on the fun.  If there's a topic you want covered that we didn't mention just email us at info@yuletiderecords.com and we'll add it to the list.  Help us spread the Christmas cheer all year by sharing these episodes with...

Are you still celebrating Christmas? Good! Because we've got several reasons why the season hasn't ended yet. And we're not stopping either. In this episode we take a trip back in time to Rome, try to remember the song Twelve Days of Christmas, and Tatum can't quite get over why there are so many birds in that song. Don't worry, we might have an answer. So grab a cup of coffee, hot chocolate, or w...

32 movies competing for this year's Yuletide Records top spot.  From the classics to current movies we've got it all covered. Live action, claymation, and maybe even a muppet. You might disagree with the final outcome but we can all agree that this is probably how the Academy Awards are chosen too. And maybe this will even inspire you to create your own bracket and pick out a few movies to watch b...

No holiday is truly complete until you've had a few classic dishes and drinks to help with the merriment. Unless of course you're not a fan of a mummified fruit loaf. But that won't stop us from bringing you some of the best and worst things you can eat this Christmas and all year long. Make sure to stock up on suet, eggs, nutmeg and ambergris if you're planning on entertaining guests this holiday...

Belsnickel, Thomas Edison, the Moravians, Chris Evans, the old man from Home Alone, and a lot of Christmas trees. Somehow they're all related, maybe. And whether you like your Christmas lights as LEDs or 400 degrees we've got you covered. Welcome back to what's hopefully becoming your favorite holiday-themed podcast. In this episode Tatum renames Christmas tree farms, Josh tries to pronounces Weih...

Do you pronounce it jib-let or gib-let?  Either way, that's the least of our worries as we take on this Thanksgiving episode. As it turns out, not everyone is as familiar with parades as we thought. And has anyone ever watched the entire Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade from start to finish? Whether you're a fan of the giant balloons, the turducken, or bad lip-syncing we can all agree that the real...

Wham, Bing, and asbestos! On the second episode of Yuletide Records we're moving full steam ahead into what made White Christmas more than just your grandparents' favorite movie. From the first time the song was performed to over 50 million units sold we now know why it became the most popular recording of all time. Could another song ever beat out White Christmas for the top spot? Does Last Chris...

On this first and inaugral episode of Yuletide Records you get to hear from us: Josh, Grayson, and Tatum as your hosts and guides to all things Christmas. Who said you can only play Christmas music starting mid-December? Or that the tree has to go up the day after Thanksgiving? And when is the best time to shop for presents?  We'll get into all of that as we lay out our plan to host a year-round c...
