Closer to Christmas

Closer to Christmas

By Charlie

Think of this podcast as an advent calendar style show. Each episode will get us closer to Christmas as you listen to a Christmas related theme. An episode can range from a piece of Christmas trivia, to a review, a song, something fun, an interview, etc.. The possibilities are endless, but will always be Christmas themed.

Episode 29 Holiday Bros. special presentation of A Charlie Brown Christmas

Episode 29 Holiday Bros. special presentation of A Charlie Brown Christmas

On the twenty-ninth episode of Closer to Christmas, I have a special presentation for you all. Years ago, I hosted a holiday themed podcast with my younger brother, Kevin. This is the very first episode of that podcast. We figured we would start off the podcast with a holiday classic, so we covered the Charlie Brown Christmas Special. I have a new segment for the upcoming season of the podcast called, "Stupid Christmas". If you want to follow along with the Stupid Christmas stories, you can pick up a copy on amazon https://a.co/d/cORUUSx
