The 2022 Season of Christmas Past is Almost Here!
On Thanksgiving Day, I’m kicking off the seventh season of Christmas Past. And I’m doing it with a return to a beloved Bay Area tradition: The Great Dickens Christmas Fair!
After Thanksgiving, join me every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for another fascination backstory to one of our favorite holiday’s traditions, and your Christmas memories. Speaking of which…
Send me your memories to appear in an episode. Simply record yourself speaking into your phone’s voice memo app, and send it to christmaspastpodcast@gmail.com. Keep it reasonably short, clean and family friendly, and be sure to say your name and where you’re from.
May I Send You a Christmas Card and a Sticker?
I love sending handwritten Christmas cards to members of the Christmas Past family! If you review the podcast on Apple Podcasts, or review the book on Amazon, I’d be happy to send a card and an official Christmas Past sticker! After leaving a review, simply reach out for details.

Much More Fun to Come!
It’s not even Thanksgiving yet, sugarplums! There’s much more fun to come. Stay with me all season long. And until we meet again,
May your days be merry and bright!
