It is a jam-packed episode of the Merry Podcast, this time dedicated to all things Pumpkin Spice -- a merry exploration a variety of Christmas topics! Lots of music, a little humor and timely topics to help prepare you for the season, including:

-- Another in-depth look at Miracle on 34th Street on the occasion of the passing of Maureen O'Hara
-- Santa's beard: A Great Christmas Debate
-- The Christmas Music of Frank Sinatra
-- Christmas Food! Wassail, Eggnog and Butter Rum Lifesavers

Plus more -- in fact, we drag this out way beyond an hour of Christmas goodness.

In all, this episode rocks because, well, it's pumpkin spice, baby.
