Throughout our lives, we find ourselves separated from home, a place of safety, security, and rest. This longing we have to return home is expressed throughout the pages of the Bible and finds its ultimate expression in the birth of Jesus as the Gospel writers anticipate how this child will lead us home, into a place of true love and salvation. Join us as we begin Advent, preparing ourselves to receive the hope and peace that Jesus brings. I'll Be Home for Christmas. August 24, 1943, by Walter Kent (music) and James “Kim” Gannon (lyrics). Recorded by Bing Crosby

The song I'll Be Home For Christmas conjures up nostalgic feelings of family and the comforts of home. This week we look to the very beginning where God created humanity and families. We also will look to the One who came into the world and through love, saved His loved ones.Downey Adventist Church SermonI'll Be Home for ChristmasHome for Christmas seriesby Chris Famisaran 29 Nov. 2025www.downeychurch.org

fWotD Episode 3128: Freedom from Want Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Thursday, 27 November 2025, is Freedom from Want.Freedom from Want, also known as The Thanksgiving Picture or I'll Be Home for Christmas, is the third of the Four Freedoms, a series of four oil paintings by American artist Norman Rockwell. The paintings were inspired by the Four Freedoms, a set of four goals articulated by Franklin D. Roosevelt, the president of the United States, in his 1941 State of the Union address.Freedom from Want was created in November 1942 and published in the March 6, 1943, issue of The Saturday Evening Post. All of the people in the picture were friends and family of Rockwell in Arlington, Vermont, who were photographed individually and painted into the scene. The work depicts a group of people gathered around a dinner table for a holiday meal. Having been partially created on Thanksgiving to depict the celebration, it has become an iconic representation for Americans of Thanksgiving and family holiday gatherings in general. The Post published Freedom from Want with a corresponding essay by Carlos Bulosan as part of the Four Freedoms series. Despite many who endured sociopolitical hardships abroad, Bulosan's essay spoke on behalf of those enduring the socioeconomic hardships domestically, and it thrust him into prominence.The painting has had a wide array of adaptations, parodies, and other uses, such as for the cover for the 1946 book Norman Rockwell, Illustrator. Although the image was popular at the time in the United States and remains so, it caused resentment in Europe where the masses were enduring wartime hardship. Artistically, the work is highly regarded as an example of mastery of the challenges of white-on-white painting and as one of Rockwell's most famous works.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:24 UTC on Thursday, 27 November 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Freedom from Want on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Ruth.

spotifyYoutubeFacebookInstagramhttps://www.tiktok.com/@alya.the.artistNo More Lonely Christmas, the new album from ALYA, which was just dropped, is a fulfilment of the artist's Christmas wish, embodied in the track that provides the name for the album.The eight tracks feature ALYA's versions of three classics, including a collaboration with Eric Clapton on “Silent Night,” and five original songs, including the title track, a fast, fun, hand-clapping, jazzy, pop love song.“We wanted to create something that would be an updated version of Mariah Carey's ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You,' which is a song I really love, a Christmas classic, but we felt like it's time for something new, fresh, cool, and ‘No More Lonely Christmas' is the song that came out of the thought.”Where Mariah's song is a wish for a certain someone, ALYA's song is the wish come true: I waited since foreverand now that we're togetherI feel the holiday cheerCuz I'll never be alone on Christmas“It was very fun to record,” she said. “There is a lot going on in the track.”Piano, horns, clapping, drums all combine in a happy, joyful celebration of love and the season.“It's just a very, very good feeling song. I had so much fun recording it, and I really hope that everybody else will feel the joy, feel the love that I put in the song. I really believe that it has all the chances of becoming a new Christmas classic.”The song is a perfect namesake for an album that carries the artist's Christmas hopes.“I wanted to put over so much love, so much good emotion, so much good energy that when you listen to the record you will feel like, no matter where you are, you are surrounded by your loved ones.”“Little Drummer Boy” and “I'll Be Home for Christmas,” along with “Silent Night,” are the album's three classics. Together, they constituted the EP she put out last year, Home for Christmas.They have been updated for the current album. This year's version of “I'll Be Home” features Indiara Sfair, “a wonderful musician from Brazil,” on harmonica.ALYA will live her Christmas wish on Monday in Los Angeles, when she will perform at the Good Shepherd Shelter for women and children who are victims of domestic violence. The children were asked to request gifts in advance, and they will get their wishes when ALYA distributes gifts.“I will be Mama Claus,” she said.Gifts will also be distributed to the mothers and staff and ALYA is providing a catered luncheon for the residents and staff.On December 19, she is streaming a live show from Burbank for STAGE.LIVE.BUY, a showcase for new artists modeled after NPR's “Tiny Desk” series.The day the album released she performed for a “Models in Comedy” Christmas special.ALYA was born and raised in the Soviet Union and, as a child, started classical vocal training. She immigrated as an adult to the United States in 2012 and began her career in music.“I dropped everything and started my life from scratch,” she says in her official biography. “I took the road less traveled, and that has made all the difference.”She has amassed millions of viewers on her social media platforms. Her single “Hope,” released earlier this year, went viral on TikTok, drawing more than a million views. As an artist and a philanthropist, she has been featured in Star, Us Weekly, In Touch Weekly and Life & Style.Beginning last year, she took her career further down the road less taken, putting out music at a much faster pace.“It takes a while to find the right people. It takes a while to find the sound that you really love,” she said, “and I'm just warming up.”No More Lonely Christmas is her first full length album. Next year, she will come out with more singles.“We will probably drop an album at the end of next year with a new sound, with new people.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.

Barry and Abigail discuss Christmas Cheers by Straight No Chaser and sample Spotted Cow  and Moon Man from New Glarus Brewing Co. in New Glarus, Wisconsin, and Pickle Tickle from Barn Town Brewing in West Des Moines, Iowa. Listen to the original ¿Dónde Esta Santa Claus? by Augie Rios Barry compared the harmonies in I'll Be Home for Christmas to the harmonies in Auld Lang Syne by The Beach Boys (who were in turn inspired by The Lettermen's harmonies). We played the original Hey Santa! by The Brian Setzer Orchestra. Read the story behind the writing of Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer. The definitive version of You're a Mean One, Mister Grinch for Barry is The Whirling Dervishes' version, whereas for Abigail, it is the full version from the original TV special, sung by Thurl Ravenscroft. We compared Straight No Chaser's version of O Holy Night to the Tracy Chapman version and the Céline Dion version. Read more about the Christmas pickle tradition! We confirmed that “upsot” is indeed in the original lyrics of Jingle Bells! We also played a little bit of our favorite version of the song, by Bing Crosby and The Andrews Sisters. Who Spiked the Eggnog? is only Abigail's second-favorite eggnog-based Christmas song, after Eggnogorant by Terry Anderson & The Olympic Ass-Kickin Team, which you can hear on our first-ever Christmas bonus episode from 2021, Bonus: Greet the Hummels! Original Songs by Friends of the Pod! We played a bit of Straight No Chaser's version of Carol of the Bells. Up next… Who's Next by The Who, submitted to our Jukebox by Todd Sider. This episode, our Season 5 opener, is scheduled to drop on March 7, 2025. Jingles are by our friend Pete Coe. Visit Anosmia Awareness for more information on Barry's condition.

Celebra la temporada festiva al ritmo de reggae con nuestro episodio especial 'Reggae Christmas Hits' en Vinyl Radio.

Merry Christmas ya filthy animals!!! Are you ready to jingle your bells? Are you ready to roast your chestnuts? Are you ready to twist your sister??? We're ranking the tracks on an album that no-one asked for, but Twisted Sister delivered anyway! That's right, it's A Twisted Christmas and we're all over it, under it, and around it. But how will our two intrepid podcasters feel about an album full of Christmas songs by a hard rock/glam metal outfit? Will it get the thumbs up, or will Kev and Corey think that "This pretentious ponderous collection of religious rock psalms is enough to prompt the question, 'What day did the Lord create Spinal Tap, and couldn't he have rested on that day too?"The only way to find out is to come ye to Bethlehem!Songs covered in this episode: "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas", "Oh Come All Ye Faithful", "White Christmas", "I'll Be Home for Christmas", "Silver Bells", "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus", "Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow", "Deck the Halls", "The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)", "Heavy Metal Christmas (The Twelve Days of Christmas)"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/76F8G8FEX8Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclash Hosted on Acast.

No More Lonely Christmas, the new album from ALYA, which was just dropped, is a fulfilment of the artist's Christmas wish, embodied in the track that provides the name for the album.The eight tracks feature ALYA's versions of three classics, including a collaboration with Eric Clapton on “Silent Night,” and five original songs, including the title track, a fast, fun, hand-clapping, jazzy, pop love song.“We wanted to create something that would be an updated version of Mariah Carey's ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You,' which is a song I really love, a Christmas classic, but we felt like it's time for something new, fresh, cool, and ‘No More Lonely Christmas' is the song that came out of the thought.”Where Mariah's song is a wish for a certain someone, ALYA's song is the wish come true: I waited since foreverand now that we're togetherI feel the holiday cheerCuz I'll never be alone on Christmas“It was very fun to record,” she said. “There is a lot going on in the track.”Piano, horns, clapping, drums all combine in a happy, joyful celebration of love and the season.“It's just a very, very good feeling song. I had so much fun recording it, and I really hope that everybody else will feel the joy, feel the love that I put in the song. I really believe that it has all the chances of becoming a new Christmas classic.”The song is a perfect namesake for an album that carries the artist's Christmas hopes.“I wanted to put over so much love, so much good emotion, so much good energy that when you listen to the record you will feel like, no matter where you are, you are surrounded by your loved ones.”“Little Drummer Boy” and “I'll Be Home for Christmas,” along with “Silent Night,” are the album's three classics. Together, they constituted the EP she put out last year, Home for Christmas.Support the show

Gurdip and Justin wrap up their coverage of the March & April 1960 recording sessions that resulted in "Elvis is Back!" and three number one singles and the guys ponder whether these may have been the best sessions Elvis ever undertook. Then after the main topic, Gurdip taps out and Ryan Droste hops into the ring for a bit of Elvis news regarding the upcoming Oprah special with Riley Keough on October 8 and then Song of the Week, with Ryan returning to his favorite Elvis movie, "It Happened At the World's Fair" and its smoldering song of seduction, "Relax." Then, Justin closes things out by trying to put Elvis's 1957 recording of "I'll Be Home for Christmas" in context by showcasing how different it is from the only prior recorded versions between Bing Crosby's original and Elvis's version, and attempting to forget all about the other several thousand versions that followed.

What's up, dudes? It's half way to Christmas, so Merry Halfmas, everyone! To celebrate, I've got CJ from Christmas Sessions and Ashley Dunbar from The Magic of the Season with me to talk about the awesomeness that is Dolly Parton! Did you know she had a 1987 variety show? Well, she did, and that show had a Christmas episode: "A Down Home Country Christmas!"Dolly introduces us to her Christmas show dressed in a Santa suit on the roof of the studio. After sliding down the chimney, her guests Burl Ives and Mac Davis appear on sleds. They all sing a few songs together, "I'll Be Home with Bells On" and "A Down Home Country Christmas." Dolly also tell us the story of a very special Christmas in which her dad bought her mom a wedding ring and she got a new baby brother. Burl sings "A Holly, Jolly Christmas" and Mac sings "Christmas is for Kids." Dolly reminisces about her first Christmas alone in Nashville, and Mac Davis joins her on guitar. It segues nicely to the show's staple sketch Dixie's Place. Socialites Mr. and Mrs. Fulbright's car breaks down, and they find themselves at Dixie's. Mr. Fulbright encounters the ghost of Mr. Pruitt, and rediscovers his spirit of Christmas and family.The show ends in a huge Christmas carol medley with everyone joining in at an icy pond. Dolly, rather than singing us out with "I Will Always Love You," ends the festivities by singing "Once Upon a Christmas." She then thanks all her guests and wishes us a merry time.Puppets? Check. Fake Dolly legs hanging from inside the chimney? Yep. cursed corn husk doll? Definitely! So grab your spoons, play your washboard, and take a sled to this episode!
