The History of My Favorite Things - Iconic Song tied to Holiday Traditions
Description
What makes something a “favorite” at Christmas? In this episode, we dive into the beloved classic song My Favorite Things—from its origins in The Sound of Music to its surprising rise as a holiday staple. Discover how this timeless tune became a soundtrack for the season, even though it was never originally written as a Christmas song.
But we don’t stop there! We’ll also explore the broader idea of “favorite things” during the holidays: cherished traditions, decorations, foods, media, and moments that bring joy year after year. Whether it’s snowy nights, warm drinks, or the sparkle of lights, this episode will leave you inspired to reflect on what makes your own holiday season magical.
And at the end of the episode, I’ll be reading a special excerpt from the book, The Lost Years of Santa Claus. Join us for a journey into Santa’s untold past and discover the stories that shaped the legend of Christmas himself. This is one of our favorite episodes—don’t miss it!
