Hey, it's Brian, back with another Burr Month's bonus episode. Now that the Christmas season is in full swing, so is the 2019 season of this show. So let me just remind you that I'll continue to sprinkle in these bonus episodes among the show's core content. That's where I explore a tradition's backstory and share your Christmas memories.

These Burr Month's bonuses are in my way of adding just a bit more festive fun to your podcast feed,

and you'll always be able to tell which episodes are which, because these episodes will always have

names beginning with Burr Month's bonus. Now I hope that your Christmas season has been wonderful so far.

This year brings us the shortest possible time between Thanksgiving and Christmas,

so every day counts just a little more than usual if you really want to make the most of the season.

And I'm grateful that you're letting me be part of that.

As always, I'd like to thank everyone who's left a review recently on Apple

podcasts. Those reviews help to make the show more visible to people searching for Christmas

content, so it's kind of like spreading Christmas cheer. And I'll even send you a sticker to say

thanks. Message me on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram for details, or write me at Christmas

past podcast at gmail.com.

That's also where you can send me your Christmas memories to be included in an episode this season.

There's still time. Record a voice memo into your phone and send it over. Keep it to roughly a

minute. Keep it clean and family friendly, and be sure to say your name and where you're from.

Before we get to the episode, let me remind you of a couple of things.

First, Christmasland is an immersive Christmas movie experience happening December 15th in Los Angeles.

When you walk into Christmas land, you'll feel like you're walking into your favorite Christmas

movies. With a gingerbread decorating competition,

a crafting corner, and carolers serenating, you'll be sure to get all the feels. There's also going

to be a live panel discussion with some Hallmark favorites. So follow at Christmasland

experience on Instagram. There might even be some giveaways along the way as well. I'll be there
