If you enjoy this episode, you can subscribe to get all 51 episodes of the Celtic Christmas Podcast at CelticChristmasPodcast.com. There's a LOT of wonderful Christmas music by Celtic artists that you will enjoy over there.

I have another podcast that you might enjoy. Celtfather Music & Travel is a talk podcast about... music and travel. I share thoughts about Celtic music, culture, Celtic Invasion Vacations to Ireland, Scotland, and everywhere I visit. You'll enjoy interviews and rants on topics that affect musicians. It's part Celtic and part Geek, because that's who I am. There are over 200 episodes to choose from that typically range between 5-15 minutes long.

In one of the most-recent episodes, I share the latest Celtic Christmas albums I received through this podcast. And other Celtic Christmas music news.

TRAVEL WITH CELTIC INVASION VACATIONS

Every year, I take a small group of Celtic music fans on the relaxing adventure of a lifetime. We don't see everything. Instead, we stay in one area. We get to know the region through it's culture, history, and legends. You can join us with an auditory and visual adventure through podcasts and videos. 

2019 is the Celtic Invasion of Star Wars. 2020 is the Origins of Celtic Invasions. You can find out more about these two exciting trips. Join the invasion at http://celticinvasion.com/

THANK YOU PATRONS OF THE PODCAST!

The Irish & Celtic Music Podcast is listener-supported. Instead of filling your ears with advertisements, I make this show free and let you, the listener, support the podcast through your kind patronage on Patreon. You can make a per episode pledge and cap how much you want to spend each month supporting this podcast.

Your generosity funds the creation, production, and promotion of the show. Best of all, you get episodes before regular listeners, discounts on merch, and when we hit a milestone, you get extra special episodes.

And sometimes, I forget to charge you like I did last month. I end up with an over $500 shortfall. I want to thank John T. for raising his pledge on Patreon to help out for this month. I also want to thank all of listeners who put money in my Virtual Tip Jar to help me recoup some of that loss. You are amazing! Thank you!
