Christmas Past

Behind every Christmas tradition is a story, often a forgotten one. Every year as we put up a tree and pour the eggnog, we’re continuing generations-old narratives, while being mostly unaware of their starting chapters. Join Brian Earl to explore the fascinating stories behind the most wonderful time of the year. It's equal parts nerdy deep dive and warmhearted celebration. Think: NPR meets Clement Clarke Moore! Christmas Past is one of the longest running Christmas podcasts, now in its ninth season. Vanity Fair says: "With excellent production, engaging narration, and short, digestible running times, Christmas Past is perfect to put on while decorating your tree or preparing Christmas dinner."Brian's book, Christmas Past: The Fascinating Stories Behind Our Favorite Holiday's Traditions, is available in hardcover from Lyons Press and an audiobook from Recorded Books! Get your copy today wherever books are sold. And remember...it makes a great gift!

I love that the podcast isn’t too long and doesn’t have a lot of banter like many other podcasts. I wouldn’t change a thing!
Bringing the light
12/24/2024
Christmas of 2023 was my first experience with Christmas Past. I was feeling heavy with stress from not only the holiday but work and family. I felt that I was having a hard time with Christmas when a friend recommended. I try to find a podcast. I searched for Christmas and popped up Christmas Past. It is delightful and informative. It wasn’t too long whenever I was feeling stressed or overburdened. I could just take a small break. I didn’t have to worry about the content, not being appropriate for little ears. And I was never embarrassed when somebody asked. What are you listening to? I feel it helped me connect with the true meaning of the holidays. And more than once, I have been able to say “ I heard the most interesting thing about that topic on this podcast called Christmas past.” Thank you Brian, for lifting my load and bringing some light to the world.
