Podcast appearances and mentions of celeste brooks

As the holiday season sweeps through the Valley, host of The Valley Today, Janet Michael invites listeners to step into the warmth of community traditions in a special episode. This festive conversation, woven from interviews with local leaders, business owners, and community members, offers a delightful tapestry of Christmas customs, heartfelt memories, and a few friendly debates. The Great Tree Debate: Real or Artificial? The episode opens with a question that sparks instant nostalgia: Are you a real Christmas tree person or do you prefer artificial? Krista Shifflett of the Warren Coalition confesses her lifelong love for real trees, though practicality has recently nudged her toward artificial options. Similarly, Celeste Brooks shares that allergies in her family have made artificial trees a necessity, while others, like Les Sinclair of the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank, opt for convenience over tradition. The conversation reveals that, for many, the choice between real and artificial is shaped by family needs, safety, and even the presence of pets. Decking the Halls: Timing and Traditions Transitioning from tree types to timing, Janet asks her guests when they put up and take down their decorations. Some, like Robyn Miller of WATTS, stick to the classic post-Thanksgiving setup, while others, such as Victoria Armstrong Kidd of the Hideaway Cafe, admit to keeping their trees up well into February. The reasons vary—busy schedules, a love for the festive glow, or simply not wanting to let go of the season's magic. Gift-Giving Rituals: Wrapping, Bagging, and the Art of Shopping No holiday conversation is complete without discussing gifts. The guests reveal a spectrum of shopping habits, from early planners who finish by Thanksgiving to last-minute dashers picking up presents on Christmas Eve. The art of wrapping also comes under the spotlight, with some guests proudly identifying as "wrappers" who cherish the ritual, while others embrace the practicality of gift bags—especially when time is short or the recipient is a pet with a penchant for unwrapping. Christmas Eve vs. Christmas Morning: When to Open Gifts? Another beloved tradition—when to open gifts—elicits a variety of responses. Some families uphold the anticipation of Christmas morning, while others allow a sneak peek on Christmas Eve, often in the form of a single present or a special family ritual. These small differences highlight the unique ways each household creates its own holiday magic. A Patchwork of Community Spirit Throughout the episode, Janet's guests share more than just their traditions; they offer a glimpse into the values that bind the Valley community. Whether it's the joy of decorating multiple trees, the chaos of wrapping gifts at the last minute, or the comfort of gathering with loved ones, these stories remind us that the heart of the holidays lies in togetherness and shared memories. Conclusion: Celebrating What Matters Most As the conversation draws to a close, Janet encourages listeners to reflect on their own traditions and perhaps borrow a few new ideas from her guests. In a season often marked by hustle and bustle, this episode serves as a gentle reminder to savor the moments, embrace the quirks, and celebrate the connections that make the holidays truly special in the Valley.

This is a Full Pisces Moon at 15 degrees tightly conjoined to the North Node at 18 degrees and forming a harmonious trine to expansive Jupiter at 19 degrees Cancer! The overwhelm is real - but so is the magic.As taskmaster Saturn is now retrograding back into Pisces, the urgent forward momentum has morphed into nostalgia for more peaceful times. The 'pedal to the metal' of Saturn in Aries has taken the foot off the gas for the time being, at least until Saturn re-enters the fire sign in February 2026.At this Lunar Eclipse, we may find a cathartic emotional release, an extreme desire for escapism or a liberating letting go. To add to the energy of liberation, Uranus, the planet of the unexpected, stations retrograde in Gemini the day before the Lunar Eclipse, which is sure to bring surprises and perhaps some shocking news.I delve into the Pisces Lunar Eclipse with astrologer Celeste Brooks who I love to chat about how the headlines reflect the astrology.
