Christmas Links #10

 

"Sounds Iconic welcomes you to a collection of ghostly tales, perfect for those long Christmas nights. From classics by H.G. Wells and M.R. James, not to mention Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, you'll hear stories from modern writers like Daisy Johnson and Lizzie Nunnery."

"Nothing lights up the night like Christmas – and the best place to appreciate the scale of its spectacle is definitely from above."

"Take care if seafood is on the menu on the 25th – prawns, salmon and other fish can be tainted by slavery even if they're from New Zealand."

"Newsreel visited a group of Serbian refugees, celebrating Christmas in Suffolk."

"The country superstar has written a clutch of new songs for this Appalachian take on the festive classic. But will she drop by to see it?"


"For study of the status of birds in the Americas here’s nothing else like it in terms of geographic coverage and duration of time—even the revered Breeding Bird Survey has “only” been run for 56 years."

"Every year somewhere between 25 million and 30 million Christmas trees are sold in the United States. If you’re one of the people who decorate for the holiday with a freshly cut Christmas tree, you might be wondering how to keep it looking good all the way through Santa’s visit – and maybe even a little beyond."

"Not too long ago, LGBTQ+ people who wanted to see themselves represented in holiday movies could either (a) pretend or (b) settle for a second-rate film with a queer character who had very few lines, ambition, or development."

"It's a little hard to find, but the full version of the hit Muppets film, now including the song "When Love Is Gone," is available on Disney+."
