        <itunes:summary>Think of this podcast as an advent calendar style show. Each episode will get us closer to Christmas as you listen to a Christmas related theme. An episode can be a piece of Christmas trivia, a review of a Christmas item, a song, and interview, etc. The possibilities are endless, BUT you can be assured it will ALWAYS be Christmas related.</itunes:summary>

                <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Hello Christmas lovers, this is the promo episode for my new podcast called &amp;#34;Closer to Christmas&amp;#34;. In this podcast series, I will be covering all types of christmas content, and information. In the first season of the podcast, I am going to be focusing on Christmas themes in games. That can be board games, video games, card games, etc. If gaming isnt your thing, I hope you still stick around, because I am going to be covering all things christmas.
