Hi, I'm Bran and I love Hallmark Christmas movies. Hey, I'm Panda and I like Hallmark Christmas movies. I'm Dan and I despise Hallmark Christmas movies.

And I'm Brian Earl from Christmas past and I think Hallmark Christmas movies are a very interesting cultural phenomenon of the early 21st century.

And this is the exact Hallmark podcast.

And you caught us all up there Brian. That ends for the best explanation for what word.

Let's just shut it down. He just said everything in a sentence that makes our podcast worth listening.

Now, Brian, correct me if I'm wrong, but this this was your first Hallmark Christmas in the experience, correct?

It first in a very long time. I think I've seen bits and pieces of one having to do with a snow globe because my sister-in-law just loves them.

But I've never of my own accord and of my own intent sat down to watch one from beginning to end.

Do you think we're closer to the end of the world than ever?

Which end? Oh, man, it's a bit of a softical just off the bat.

Man, tell you what. Brian, there's actually a Hallmark movie that deals with the multiverse experience.

That's right. Super philosophical.

Now, we've mentioned this before, but we're a part of the Christmas podcast network, which is really great.

There's a bunch of great podcasts out there that all have to do about Christmas.

So this time of year, there's a lot of great podcasts that you can listen to to get you in the Christmas spirit.

Brian hosts one of them, Christmas past. I've told Brian that Brian this.

I believe it with my whole heart that Christmas past is the best Christmas podcast out there.

Wow. If you want some Christmas spirits throughout the month of December, Christmas past is the podcast to listen to.

Brian, real quick, tell everybody about Christmas past and maybe how they can check it out.

Sure. Well, Christmas past is a podcast that sort of peels back the curtain behind your favorite Christmas traditions.

There are so many traditions that we practice every year. We know them. We love them. They make us feel cozy.

But we haven't the fogiest idea why we do that. Why do we put up a Christmas tree? Why do we have wreaths?
