November 27, 2020 22:14 - 13 minutes - 17.9 MBThere is only one month until Christmas, but the We're So Xmas team is still in a bit of transition! We give a short update for November, but get ready for 16 days of episodes starting Dec 1!
The Lost September Episode!
September 25, 2020 21:02 - 26 minutes - 36.1 MBSo Heather and Chrysanthemum Cliff recorded an episode in September and then...forgot to post it. But we found it, dusted it off and now November is TWICE as merry! Holiday Ring Doorbell Faceplates Christmas Pop Sockets Christmas Masks
August 2020 - Christmas Bucket Lists and Coffee Creamer
August 25, 2020 20:49 - 22 minutes - 30.3 MBIt's the hottest month of the year, but that doesn't mean we aren't still thinking about crisp winter mornings! You know what I'm talking about, the kinda morning where a fresh blanket of snow covers everything outside your window and all you want to do is snuggle under your blanket with a warm cup of coffee flavored with your favorite creamer. Maybe pop open your laptop and work on your Christmas bucket list for next year while your kids play on the new Xbox that you had the forethought to ...

July 27, 2020 18:35 - 37 minutes - 51.3 MBFirst off, we know the audio is a but rough this week, the internet Gods were not kind to us. August will be roughly 8000x better.

Hear all about that, plus her cross-country driving adventure with two dogs! We bring it back to Christmas with news that the Hallmark Channel is actively working on improving the diversity of their movies, and are specifica...
June 25 - Only Six Months Until Christmas!
June 25, 2020 20:31 - 13 minutes - 17.9 MBBetween the pandemic and everything else that is going on it's hard to believe that it's only six months until Christmas and at the same time, Christmas could be tomorrow!

In this episode we start off by talking about all the great Christmas (and other holiday) TV shows and movies that are available on Hulu that you might not have noticed. In fact, they have an entire section dedicated to them that you can check out here: https://www.hulu.com/genre/ho...
Special Episode: What You Can Do To Help #BlackLivesMatter
June 01, 2020 21:08 - 32 minutes - 44.8 MBNormally we talk about Christmas on this podcast, but in light of the recent events that have swept through our country in the last few days, we felt that we had to say something, even if it had nothing to do with the holidays. If that isn't for you, please feel free to skip this episode and join us on June 25th for an episode full of holiday cheer. If you do decide to listen, first off, neither of us has all the answers and we are in no way perfect. We welcome constructive feedback, especi...

May 11, 2020 17:22 - 12 minutes - 17.5 MBHeather and Chrysanthemum Cliff are finally back in the same place! Things are just a tiny bit in flux, which means they had to record in Cliff's dining room, but everything came together! Heather and Cliff voted and came to the conclusion that any time you mention Betty White's name it should be in the form "Betty Which is doing fantastic and...". With that in mind, Betty White is doing fantastic and will be starring in a Christmas movie this holiday season on Lifetime! There aren't any de...
April 2020: Are We Still Going to Be Socially Distancing at Christmas?
April 25, 2020 20:49 - 27 minutes - 37.8 MBHeather and Chrysanthemum Cliff decided to try something a little different this month and recorded their podcast via Zoom since they are still socially distanced. That means a few things: 1) If you head to facebook.com/weresoxmas or weresoxmas.com you can actually watch this podcast! 2) There might be a few things we talk about that work better on the video since you won't be able to see them. This month we talked about what to do if we are still having to socially distance during the h...
March 2020: Elf Quarantinseled
March 24, 2020 22:53 - 23 minutes - 16.1 MBHeather and Chrysanthemum Cliff are both "Elf Quarantined" so following proper social distancing guidelines they are recording this podcast from their respective houses (which may or may not be festively decorated cabins deep in some winter wonderland, we'll leave that up to our dear listeners to decide!)

January 25, 2020 09:00 - 18 minutes - 43.1 MBAre you having Christmas movie withdrawals but looking for something that's not too Christmasy? Maybe something more along the lines of "Die Hard is a Christmas movie because it takes place at Christmas" and less Hallmark? Then El Camino Christmas on Netflix might be for you (Cliff gives El Camino Christmas 7 Elves on the Shelf!) It's about "...a young man who seeks out a father he has never met and, through no fault of his own, ends up barricaded in a liquor store with five other people o...

We're so happy that you joined us for this wonderful celebration of Christmas and hope you'll continue to listen on the 25th of every month in 2020. Today we are focusing on our favorite Christmas traditions and stories, which seem to focus a lot on fish. Like Lutefisk and Pickled Herring. Which may 100% be your thing. But if it's not, how about pancakes? Swedish Pancakes to be specific. The take away from Heather's...
Dec 24: What is The Likelihood We Will Have A White Christmas & Chonky Cat: A LOVE Story for the Ages!
December 24, 2019 09:01 - 11 minutes - 26.3 MBSeattle, it's possible (although unlikely) that we may get snow today or tomorrow and see a white Christmas! For the rest of the US, odds are about 50/50, unless you happen to live in the general area of the Rocky Mountains, which ups the chances of you seeing show this (and almost every other) year. It all started in a group for loves of cats of the...chonky variety. A girl in Chicago commented on a boy and his cat in the UK and "Chonky Cat: A LOVE Story For The Ages" was born. If Netflix d...
Dec 23: Santa's Reindeer are Female and Didn't ALWAYS Fly! Join Travelers at the Gate of SEA and PIT!
December 23, 2019 09:01 - 12 minutes - 28.5 MBSanta's reindeer are female all female. Apparently, if they'd been male they would NOT have had antlers (males lose their antlers during the winter). Previous to the 1823 publishing of "A Visit From Saint Nicolas" Santa's reindeer did NOT fly. We NOW know the poem as, "Twas The Night Before Christmas" and it changed a ton about what we know about Santa and his reindeer. The relevant flying bits: “Now, DASHER! now, DANCER! now, PRANCER and VIXEN! On, COMET! on CUPID! on, DONDER and BLITZEN!...

December 21, 2019 09:01 - 10 minutes - 24.4 MBSUPER SATURDAY 12/21/19 is the 2nd biggest shopping day of the year (behind black Friday.) We recommend you stay home and listen to your favorite Christmas podcast while sipping hot cocoa and shopping online. Perhaps for these fancy PJs worn by Millie Bobby Brown (and you may as well pick up some heels to wear with them, since they are definitely not for JUST sleeping in). Now that you are doing shopping for yourself, it's time to start shopping for your favorite furry (or scaley or feath...

If you can't decide what to gift, a smart speaker is a great option! (Even if the recipient already has one or more). The price of Christmas Trees has Gone UP!

Prepare your hearts to be melted. ...

December 19, 2019 09:00 - 9 minutes - 22.7 MBWelcome back Bright & Merry Brooke! So you probably have a top ten list of favorite Christmas songs in your head, right? And I would guess that they overlap a lot with everyone else's favorite Christmas songs as well. But what you might not know is that people in the UK have a very different list of Christmas music in their heads, except for one very special Christmas song .
Dec 18: The US States with the MOST Christmas Spirit and Christmas Giving Machines Light The World
December 18, 2019 09:01 - 10 minutes - 23.8 MBIs your state full of Christmas cheer (or is it full of Grinches)? You might be surprised which states have the most holiday spirit (unless you live in Nevada, sorry Nevada). This was also the podcast were we found out that Chrysanthemum Cliff isn't great at geography... If you'd like to add a little holiday cheer to your state regardless of how much it currently contains, you might want to see if there is a Giving Machine in your city. These are giant vending machines that let you donate d...

December 16, 2019 09:01 - 17 minutes - 41 MBWelcome Merry & Bright Brooke! There are a lot of things to love about our local airport in Seattle (the Seattle Tacoma International Airport, or Seatac for short). If you are flying in or out of Seattle, watch for carolers, get a massage or even check a book out from the library! That being said, you are going to want to be careful at the airport this holiday. Yes, you still need to show up three hours early, but what you really want to be careful about is what you wear, because it's eas...

Dec 14: Where does the tradition of Christmas Trees come from? A Christmas Price 3: The Royal Baby (Netflix)
December 14, 2019 09:01 - 11 minutes - 27.2 MBEvery year, a huge amount of people all over the world go out and chop down a Christmas tree, take it home and decorate it. Ok, to be honest, you probably go to a Christmas tree lot and someone slices off the bottom inch with a chainsaw. But have you ever wondered when the tradition started? Apparently it started forever ago...FUR-EVERGREEN ago, get it? LOL! It's taken three whole years, but the king and queen of Aldovia are having a baby! But will the baby be cursed if the missing treaty c...
Dec 13: What Are The Meanings Behind Traditional Christmas Flowers & How YOU Can Get FREE Trees in Seattle
December 13, 2019 09:01 - 10 minutes - 24.1 MBCliff was a little bit worried when he realized that he didn't know whether or not Chrysanthemums were actually a traditional Christmas flower or not. Luckily, they actually are, in both German and Japanese cultures! We also get the lowdown behind other Christmas flowers including poinsettias, holly, yew, mistletoe and Christmas cactus. Everyone knows you can get a Christmas tree pretty easily this time of year, but what if you are looking for something a little more long term? Seattle ha...
Dec 12: Would YOU like to quit smoking? Is Your New Year's Resolution to Eat Better? Check out the Pavlok Bracelet. Watch a bear destroy your ex.
December 12, 2019 09:01Would YOU like to quit smoking? Is Your New Year's Resolution to Eat Better? Check out the Pavlok Bracelet. Our only real suggestion is that if you are going to buy it for someone else for Christmas that you get the two pack and keep one yourself. Nobody wants to get a shock bracelet for Christmas unless their best friend or spouse is getting shocked too. We all know that guy (or girl!) that breaks up with their significant other right before Christmas just because they don't want to buy a...

Dec 11: Why do we leave Cookies out for Santa? Plus NEW Christmas Song Taylor Swift AND Katy Perry
December 11, 2019 09:00 - 10 minutes - 23.1 MBHave you ever wondered why we leave cookies out for Santa? It turns out that it goes all the way back to ancient Norse mythology! Kids would leave treats out for Odin's 8 legged horse Sleipnir in hopes that Odin would leave gifts them. Taylor Swift AND Katy Perry both have new Christmas songs out this year and they are both terrific! According to Taylor Swift's Instagram she “...actually did grow up on a Christmas tree farm. In a gingerbread house, deep within the yummy gummy gumdrop fore...

December 10, 2019 09:01 - 20 minutes - 47.2 MBNoelle isn't Disney's first Christmas movie (as we discussed in Episode 5 ), but it is the first Christmas movie created specifically for Disney's new Disney+ streaming service.

Dec 9: The Biggest Deception & Betrayal in Holiday History Plus The Knight Before Christmas on Netflix with Vanessa Hudgens
December 09, 2019 09:01 - 10 minutes - 24 MBHeather was incredibly angry (and betrayed!) to find out that...SNOW IS NOT WHITE! Even more disturbing: Polar Bears aren't WHITE they are actually BLACK with clear fur! Cliff was pretty sure about this one, but we verified it because we want our podcast to always reflect the utmost in accuracy! Also, in case a polar bear commits a crime in your area, apparently polar bear's DNA can be extracted from their footprints, so the folks from CSI will be able to track it down. Polar Bears are ...
Dec 8: Klaus Might Be the BEST Movie of the Year, Cookie Cutter Ornaments for a Crafternoon & PLEASE Someone Invent an Espresso Steam Room
December 08, 2019 20:00 - 10 minutes - 24.9 MBHeather is fresh off announcing the Jingle Bell Run and Cliff is just happy he didn't have to run. Looking for a way to relax this afternoon with a new Christmas movie? Skip the Hallmark Channel for now, fire up Netflix and watch Klaus ! Cliff thinks this might be his favorite new movie of the year and he desperately wants you to watch it. He gives it 9 out of 10 Elves on a Shelf and it only misses a ten because it's not a "Christmas Classic"...yet. Have old cookie cutters in your drawer ...

December 06, 2019 09:00 - 14 minutes - 33.1 MBCleaning your house for the holidays isn't fun. And honestly, if you are going to visit someone else over the holidays they aren't going to enjoy cleaning their house either. And this is all made significantly worse because we all have mile long todo lists right before Christmas, full of shopping and decorating and planning and so much more. So why not give yourself (or the people you are staying with) the gift of a clean house! Getting to cross "Clean the house" off of your list will make ...
Dec 5: EVERY Disney Plus Christmas Movie, Alanis Morissette + Liz Phair + Garbage Tour & Macaulay Culkin
December 05, 2019 09:01 - 10 minutes - 25 MBThe one that gets weird. Good weird. Honestly, you can really only do a Christmas podcast every day for so long before one of them goes off the rails a bit (and we promise, it's in a very, very good way!) First off, we talk about all of the best Christmas movies that are playing on Disney Plus right now. And then somehow we ended up talking a bunch about Brenda Song and Macaulay Culkin. To be honest, we probably know more about Macaulay Culkin than is healthy. Heather doesn't want her t...
Dec 4: Spiders in Christmas Trees are GOOD luck & Holly Star
December 04, 2019 09:01 - 13 minutes - 32 MBSo this is going to take a lot of convincing for a lot of people, but believe it or not, spiders in your Christmas tree might actually be good luck, at least according to Ukrainian traditions. Let's be frank, worst case scenario you end up with a few less bugs in your house over Christmas. Best case scenario? The spider webs turn into gold and silver. Now if you and your new spider friends want to want a Christmas movie together, try this description on for size: "A broke puppeteer returns ...
Dec 3: Custom Ornaments that look like YOUR Home & Foster Pets for the Holidays!
December 03, 2019 09:01 - 9 minutes - 21 MBI'll admit it, when we first heard that you could buy custom ornaments that look like your house on Etsy , we were skeptical. Like that seemed just like such an odd niche that nobody would actually be interested in. But the more you think about it, the more it makes sense! Want to keep track of all the places you've made holiday memories? House ornament. Do you move around a lot and want to keep track of all the cool places you've lived? House ornament. Do you remember how much you loved sp...

November 25, 2019 09:01 - 14 minutes - 32.9 MBOMG we're Christmas influencers! The wonderful folks at the Food Network sent us a beautiful set of serving bowls and asked us to review their new Food Network App that gives you access to all your fav shows and recipes! Cliff LOVES it and was especially impressed by the way they organize their recipes within the app. It's definitely worth checking out for the free content, but you also might want to give the subscription a free trial if you love to cook. Netflix is definitely upping it's X...

Then next Christmas, you can trade in your Xbox for a brand-new Xbox Sc...
Last Christmas, Haddon Sunblom, More Advent Calendars and Pets are not SURPRISE Gifts
November 11, 2019 09:01 - 13 minutes - 31.3 MBHave you had a chance to see the new (just released this week in theaters) Christmas movie Last Christmas? It stars Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke, was written by Emma Thompson and has music by George Michael. That's pretty much a Christmas trifecta if you ask me. Cliff & Heather are both big fans of AMC Moviepass & Regal Unlimited respectively (which make a great gift BTW) and can't think of a better movie to use their passes on! Have you ever wondered why traditional "Christmas colors"...
Christmas Wishes and Mistletoe Kisses, A New Take on Baby It's Cold Outside and Sunflower Christmas Trees
November 04, 2019 09:01 - 13 minutes - 30 MBHeather thinks that the new "Sunflower Christmas Tree" trend is probably because people that grew up in the 90's watching Blossom are now old enough to buy and decorate their own Christmas tree. It could be that or it's possible that people just want a Christmas tree that you can leave up until Spring and still have it be in season. Cliff watched the premiere movie of the Hallmark season, "Christmas Wishes and Mistletoe Kisses" and give you his thoughts, as well a what he thinks about Emily ...
Does Moose Cheese Make a Good Snack While You Are Watching Christmas Movies?
October 25, 2019 07:01 - 17 minutes - 39.2 MBThere is an advent calendar for everything this year, from dogs to cheese to Harry Potter. And speaking of cheese, did you know you can get moose cheese? Cliff is unsure, but is willing to try anything once, since it comes from his native homeland (or so Heather says). If a cheese Advent calendar (or moose cheese) sounds like it's your thing, you'll definitely want to check out Time for Some Cheese on Instagram. Cliff is doing a marathon! No, not a running marathon, a video game marathon! I...
