Christmas is quickly approaching and the coming days are sure to be filled with COVID anxiety and long to-do lists but we all should be looking for ways to reconnect with the holiday spirit. This search for holiday spirit during this busy season can be found in these festive podcasts- a perfect background for gift wrapping and cookie decorating.
Christmas Past
Christmas Past is a podcast exploring the fascinating stories behind Christmas traditions and celebrating holiday nostalgia. Introduced in 2016, the podcast has earned a worldwide audience. Each one includes expert guest interviews, Christmas memories from listeners, and fascinating stories.
The podcast is the creation of Brian Earl, a software designer living in the San Francisco Bay area.
“I grew up in Massachusetts, where I had my fair share of white Christmases. Christmas has always been my favorite time of year (and really one of my favourite things about life in general) and I created Christmas Past so that I could celebrate the season all year long”
– Brian Earl
The podcast’s short and sweet episodes are great for listening while putting up all the final holiday flourishes.
