Thanks to all who tuned into the latest episode with Edward Goode! We talked about this most iconic of holiday specials, celebrating its 60th birthday this year. Those little kids look great for their age.
We discuss commercialism, Christmas melancholy, tradition v. traditionalism, and more.
A few references from the episode:
Advent for the Troubled Soul, Winn Collier
Why ‘A Charlie Brown Christmas’ almost didn’t air − and why it endures
Next week on Pop Culture Pastors Hour! A holiday grab-bag edition, featuring a game called “Will It Preach?”, in which we’ll randomly choose a handful of holiday-related songs and specials to try to wrestle some kind of deeper message out of them. See you next Thursday December 11 at 11 a.m. EST. Link to join.
