Hey, it's Brian, back with another Burr Month's bonus episode.

Can you believe we're just two weeks away from the first ever Christmas past live show

recorded at San Francisco's Great Dickens Christmas Fair?

And just a few days after that, it's Thanksgiving, which also means the

arrival of all six episodes of my mini-series, My Dear Santa, a true-crime Christmas

caper. It'll arrive in the regular podcast feed for Christmas past. Now I hope your

Burr months and your holiday prep have been going great. I myself just returned from the

first annual Christmas con in Edison, New Jersey. It was three fun-filled days of Christmas spirit,

celebrity sightings, and fun activities. Yours truly even hosted a Christmas trivia game show on

stage. But in my downtime, I got to walk the floor, meeting some

lovely people from all over, and asking them to share some of their Christmas memories and

traditions. So, in this Burr Month's bonus, I'm going to take you inside ChristmasCon.

Before that, though, let me say thanks to everyone who has left a review recently on Apple Podcasts.

Those reviews make the show more visible to others who are searching for Christmas podcasts.

So leaving a review is kind of like spreading Christmas cheer.

It takes only a minute, and it's a quick and painless way to show support for the show.

I'll even send you a sticker to say thanks.

You can reach me at Christmas Past Podcast at gmail.com for details, and that's also where you can

send a Christmas memory to appear in an episode this season. Just record a voice memo into your phone

and send it over. Keep it short to about a minute or so, and be sure to say your name and where you're from.

Okay, now let's go to ChristmasCon.

Walking into Christmas Con is about as close as I'll ever get to walking into a snow globe.
