Top Stories for December 23rd Publish Date: December 23rd From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Tuesday, December 23rd and Happy Birthday to Eddie Vedder I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Christkindl Market heading into final days of first run in Lawrenceville Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 66 hosts annual Cops and Kids Christmas event EXPLORING GWINNETT'S HISTORY: Christmas in the past All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: Kia Mall of Georgia - Sugar Hill Ice Skating Rink Final STORY 1: Christkindl Market heading into final days of first run in Lawrenceville The Atlanta Christkindl Market has been buzzing with holiday cheer, drawing over 226,000 visitors to downtown Lawrenceville since Thanksgiving. But if you haven’t made it out yet, time’s running out—Christmas Eve is your last chance. This German-inspired market has become a magnet for families across Gwinnett and beyond, offering European treats, handmade ornaments, and festive vibes. City Manager Chuck Warbington predicts the final tally will top 320,000 visitors. The market, at 210 Luckie St., is open daily now through Christmas Eve. Hours vary, so check ahead—and maybe book a Santa photo while you’re at it. STORY 2: Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 66 hosts annual Cops and Kids Christmas event Holiday traditions come in all shapes—carols, candles, big family dinners, and gift exchanges. But for the past 35 years, Gwinnett law enforcement has added its own twist: one December night dedicated to giving back. On Thursday, officers from 10 Gwinnett departments gathered at the Walmart on Lawrenceville Highway for the annual Cops and Kids Christmas. They strolled the aisles with families, helping kids pick out toys and clothes—making sure there’d be something under the tree. For many officers, this event is tradition. This year, 61 families and 104 kids were treated to gifts, Christmas dinner fixings, and even a “blessing box” from Hebron Baptist Church. For officers, it’s more than just shopping—it’s a chance to connect with the community and show a different side of law enforcement. More than 100 officers, plus Gwinnett Police Explorers, joined in this year. STORY 3: EXPLORING GWINNETT'S HISTORY: Christmas in the past When we think about Christmases past, it’s easy to romanticize them—quiet, simple, less commercial. Maybe we picture what our grandparents described or scenes from old books, but the truth? It all depends. Time, place, culture, class—Christmas looked different for everyone. By the 1800s, Christmas shifted toward family. Homemade gifts, carols, and decorated trees became staples. For enslaved people, though, the holiday was bittersweet—sometimes a brief reprieve, sometimes more work. In Gwinnett’s early days, Christmas was simple. Handmade decorations, maybe a church service, and stockings filled with candy, nuts, and—if you were lucky—an orange. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: Ingles Markets STORY 4: ART BEAT: Instructor Jae Montano helps people find 'The Joy of Painting' Jae Montano doesn’t believe in mistakes—just “happy accidents.” A Certified Bob Ross Instructor (one of only 18 in Georgia), she’s made it her mission to share the joy of painting, one brushstroke at a time. Born in Seoul, South Korea, Jae didn’t start painting until the pandemic hit. Stuck at home, she stumbled across Bob Ross on YouTube and was hooked. That spark led her to classes with Steve Ross, Bob’s son, and eventually to becoming a certified instructor herself in 2022. Now, Jae teaches Ross’s wet-on-wet technique across Atlanta and Gwinnett, helping students create dreamy landscapes without fear or perfectionism. You can catch her at festivals like Suwanee Arts and Duluth Spring and Fall, or shop her work at Suwanee and John’s Creek Art Centers. For classes and more, visit www.paintingwithjae.com. STORY 5: HOUSING MATTERS: Georgians struggle with cost of living more than most Americans The cost of living is crushing. For some, it’s meant bouncing between overpriced motels; for others, it’s homelessness. Here’s a look at the latest on affordable housing and the fight against homelessness: Georgia ranks 8th in financial struggle: A United Way study puts Georgia in the top 10 states where people can’t afford basics like food, gas, and housing. Nearly 34% of adults are behind on rent or mortgage, and 41% struggle with daily expenses. Nationwide, 42% of households can’t cover essentials—13% live in poverty, while 29% are stuck in the “ALICE” gap: earning too much for aid, but not enough to get by. Warming centers hiring Gwinnett’s warming centers open when temps hit 35°F or below, offering meals and shelter. They’re hiring attendants ($18/hour) to work 5:30 p.m.–7 a.m. Apply at gwinnettcounty.com/WarmingStationsJob. It’s tough out there—help is out there too. Break 3: DTL HOLIDAY INTERVIEW GDP_DTL_MARK BERENS_122325_FINAL STORY 6: Gwinnett school board drops high schools from cell phone ban Gwinnett County Public Schools will follow the new state law banning cell phones in K-8 classrooms, but high schools? Not yet. The school board voted 3-2 last week to ban personal devices—phones, smartwatches, tablets, headphones—in elementary and middle schools. Originally, the plan included high schools too, but that part was dropped after some debate. Why? Flexibility. “High schoolers have jobs, leave early, and have different responsibilities,” said Vice Chairwoman Tarece Johnson-Morgan. Still, the state might force the issue soon. Lawmakers are already eyeing a high school ban for 2026. For now, the K-8 ban covers the entire school day—class, recess, even assemblies. Exceptions? Only for students with special needs. STORY 7: Atlanta's Christmas Day forecast sees temperatures near record high It’s not exactly sweater weather, folks—Christmas in Atlanta is shaping up to feel more like a spring fling. Highs are expected to hit the low to mid-70s, putting this year in the running for one of the warmest Christmas Days on record. The all-time high? A toasty 75 degrees back in 2015. By Christmas Eve, most of metro Atlanta will bask in the 70s, while the North Georgia mountains hover in the 60s. Rain? Not likely. Just sunshine, warmth, and maybe a little disbelief.

Zimtgeruch und Sternenstaub: Gibt es das Christkind tatsächlich? Andi ist gänzlich betört, als ihm sein audiophiler Sparingshost Ralle ein wahrhaftiges Christkindl vorstellt. So viele Fragen. Und Überraschungen! Die Erste – das Christkind hört auf den Namen Laura und kommt aus Steyr in Oberösterreich. Die Zweite – Christkindl ist ein Ortsteil des kulturhistorischen Städtchens. Endlich können existenzielle Weihnachtsmären direkt mit dem Christkind ergründet werden. Aus hartgesottenen Extremfluencern werden im Gespräch mit der wahrhaftigen Weihnachstbotschafterin handzahme Buben. Friede und Liebe scheint grenzenlos, als Andi den Weihnachtsbaum mit Hotdog- und Erdmännchen-Applikationen zu schmücken beginnt. Solide flachverlaufende Tiefgründigkeit mit einem Schuss Selbstironie und Tischfeuerwerk: Die Jahresabschlussfolge als Abgalopp eines gewohnt rasant verlaufenen Jahres für die beiden Globalfluencer. Liebt euch üppigst und bleibt wyld, eure Boyz Weitere Infos zu Steyr und dem Christkindl: https://www.steyr-nationalpark.at/advent.html

Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/editorialtpv El día de hoy hablaremos sobre el capítulo 3 del libro The Oxford Handbook of Christmas, titulado “The Reformation and Early Modern Periods,” por Katrina Jennie-Lou Wheeler. Ver aquí: https://global.oup.com/academic/product/the-oxford-handbook-of-christmas-9780198831464?cc=gb&lang=en& Articulo: https://semperreformandaperu.org/2025/12/18/los-protestantes-mataron-la-navidad-reforma-polemica-y-resistencia-popular/  Video: https://youtu.be/v7aU8ln_pTg  PPT: https://semperreformandaperu.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/navidad_y_reforma_una_historia_compleja.pdf  La historia popular repite un guion: la Reforma protestante habría “arrasado” la Navidad y el siglo XIX la habría resucitado. Este episodio desmonta ese cliché con evidencia histórica y una pregunta más interesante: ¿qué cambió realmente entre los siglos XVI y XVIII? A partir del capítulo “The Reformation and Early Modern Periods”, exploramos cómo distintos protestantismos reaccionaron de forma desigual ante las fiestas del calendario cristiano, y por qué la “guerra contra la Navidad” fue, en muchos casos, una batalla parcial, regional y difícil de sostener.   Entramos en la lógica puritana: la exigencia de un mandato bíblico explícito para los días festivos, la crítica a la “superstición” y la preocupación por la embriaguez y la inversión social asociadas a los Doce Días. Seguimos el rastro de las prohibiciones—Inglaterra (1647), Escocia y Nueva Inglaterra—y vemos cómo la resistencia popular y los giros políticos limitaron su alcance.   Pero el episodio no se queda en los bans: muestra también la continuidad y la adaptación. Anglicanos defendieron la hospitalidad y la celebración; en territorios luteranos se reorientaron prácticas (del regalo de san Nicolás al Christkindl); y en contextos católicos persistieron y se sofisticaron el belén, el tronco de Yule y la música navideña. Si quieres entender por qué la Navidad moderna es una mezcla de devoción, cultura y política, aquí tienes el mapa histórico.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for December 11th Publish Date: December 11th PRE-ROLL: SUGAR HILL ICE SKATING From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Thursday, December 11th and Happy birthday to Nikki Six I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Atlanta Christkindl Market proving a hit in Lawrenceville Gwinnett commissioners OK 4% salary adjustment for county employees Paul Duke STEM High School honored for work to improve student outcomes Plus Shane Delancey the Director of the Christmas Tradition at the Strand Theatre All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: GCPS Hiring-Villa Rica Wonderland Train STORY 1: Atlanta Christkindl Market proving a hit in Lawrenceville Avery Boutin and Jordan Lettis had never been to the Atlanta Christkindl Market before, but now that it’s landed in their backyard? They couldn’t resist. Sunday night, they joined the crowd under twinkling string lights, wandering the aisles, riding the Ferris wheel, and—of course—grabbing raclette sandwiches. This is the market’s first year in Lawrenceville, and it’s already a hit. City Manager Chuck Warbington said it’s tripled downtown foot traffic. Vendors? 90 booths, everything from bratwursts to alpaca scarves. And the hot chocolate line? Let’s just say, patience required. STORY 2: Gwinnett commissioners OK 4% salary adjustment for county employees Gwinnett County employees just got an early Christmas surprise—4% raises, approved by commissioners on Tuesday. Starting pay? Now at least $40,000 a year for full-timers. Not bad, right? The adjustment, retroactive to Oct. 25, bumps up pay ranges across the board, including public safety roles. Chairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson called it a step toward addressing inflation and keeping Gwinnett competitive. “We’re investing in the people who keep this county running,” she said. With a $2.6 billion budget vote looming in January, it’s unclear how this raise fits in. But for now? A little extra in the paycheck feels good. STORY 3: Paul Duke STEM High School honored for work to improve student outcomes Paul Duke STEM High just snagged a huge honor—one of only two schools in Georgia named a 2025 National ESEA Distinguished School. Pretty big deal, right? This recognition isn’t handed out lightly. It’s for Title I schools that are crushing it academically and making real strides with their students. Principal Dr. Jonathon Wetherington couldn’t be prouder. “This is about our students, our teachers, our families—all of us,” he said. Their STEMforALL initiative? Game-changer. It’s hands-on, rigorous, and inclusive, reaching multilingual learners, students with disabilities, and those facing economic challenges. Oh, and Flex Fridays? Genius. Targeted support, projects, college prep—it’s working. Graduation rates? Over 90%. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: Kia Mall of Georgia - DTL HOLIDAY STORY 4: Gwinnett County Public Library offering RISE Teen Entrepreneurship program Got a teen with big dreams of running their own business? Gwinnett County Public Library’s RISE Teen Entrepreneurship Program might be just the thing. Starting Feb. 17, 2026, this four-week crash course will teach teens (ages 13–19) how to turn ideas into real businesses. Here’s the deal: they’ll brainstorm, build a business plan, and pitch their ideas to local entrepreneurs in a Shark Tank-style showdown. Winners? Cash prizes. Meetings are weekly, 5:30–7:30 p.m., at the Lawrenceville Hooper-Renwick branch. Deadline to apply? Jan. 5. Oh, and library cardholders can use maker spaces—think laser printers, podcast gear, sewing machines—for free. Dream big, Gwinnett! STORY 5: Touchdown Club of Gwinnett Honors Best in 2025 High School Football The Touchdown Club of Gwinnett threw a big bash Monday at 12Stone Church, celebrating the absolute best of Gwinnett high school football from the 2025 season. And wow, what a lineup. Buford’s Tyriq Green snagged Athlete of the Year—no surprise there, considering he’s leading his team to the Class AAAAAA state finals. North Gwinnett cleaned up too, with Zach Lewis (Offensive Lineman), Max Patterson (Tight End), and Chauncey Davis (Defensive Back) all taking home top honors. Other schools? Brookwood, Collins Hill, and Grayson had multiple winners, too. Honestly, the talent in this county is unreal. Full list? It’s long—like, really long. But trust me, these kids earned it. GEORGIA SWARM: The Georgia Swarm are itching to get back on the floor. After dropping their season opener to Buffalo—yeah, the three-time champs, no big deal—they’ve had a week off to regroup. That 15-11 loss? Not ideal. Saturday, Dec. 13, they’re finally at home, Gas South Arena, facing the Oshawa FireWolves. Rookie Nolan Byrne? Scored his first goal in Buffalo. Shayne Jackson? Four goals, still a beast. And this team? Big. Fast. Aggressive. Fans better buckle up—it’s gonna be fun.

Today we trace the roots of Santa Claus back to the real Saint Nicholas, a bold Christian leader known for generosity and standing firm in faith. It explores how the modern Santa evolved and challenges us to look beyond the commercial image to the true meaning behind the names Kris Kringle and Christkindl—pointing us to the Christ Child.

Top Stories for November 25th Publish Date: November 25th PRE-ROLL: BUFORD HOLIDAY FESTIVAL From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Tuesday, November 25th and Happy Birthday to Joe DiMaggio I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. John Berry ready to kick off 29th annual Christmas tour in Sugar Hill 'A welcome addition' — Popular Christkindl Market coming to Lawrenceville for the holiday season Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, resigns house seat All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: Kia Mall of Georgia - DTL HOLIDAY STORY 1: John Berry ready to kick off 29th annual Christmas tour in Sugar Hill John Berry’s not making it home for Thanksgiving—again. The country music legend is kicking off his 29th annual Christmas with John Berry tour at the Eagle Theatre in Sugar Hill, where he and his band will spend the week rehearsing before the first show on Friday, Nov. 28. The tour hits 17 cities, including Macon, the only stop that’s been on the schedule every single year. “Even during COVID, the mayor made sure we kept the streak alive,” Berry said. The show? A mix of his hits (Your Love Amazes Me, Standing on the Edge of Goodbye) and Christmas classics from his O Holy Night album. STORY 2: 'A welcome addition' — Popular Christkindl Market coming to Lawrenceville for the holiday season One of the country’s top Christmas markets has found a new home—right in Lawrenceville. The Atlanta Christkindl Market, a German-style holiday tradition that draws up to 160,000 visitors each year, kicks off on Black Friday and runs through Christmas Eve at the Lawrenceville Lawn. Think handcrafted gifts, authentic German food and drinks, a 150-foot Christmas tree, a Ferris wheel, and family-friendly entertainment. After four years in Buckhead, the market outgrew its space. “This is a perfect fit,” said Mayor David Still. “It’s another reason to celebrate the season in our city.” STORY 3: Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, resigns house seat Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene dropped a bombshell Friday—she’s stepping down from her seat in the House. Her last day? January 5. The announcement came via a video she posted on X (formerly Twitter) Why now? What’s next? There’s plenty of room for speculation. Greene’s exit is bound to shake things up. One thing’s for sure: the political world will be buzzing about this one for a while. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: Ingles Markets - SUGAR HILL HOLIDAY STORY 4: Police: Hit-and-run driver allegedly abandoned injured passenger after accident A horrifying crash in Duluth earlier this month left a passenger fighting for their life—and the driver now facing a stack of charges. Samuel Contreras-Garcia, who police say fled the scene on foot, has been charged with felony hit-and-run, reckless driving, and more. The crash happened around 5:30 a.m. on Nov. 16 at Buford Highway and Duluth Highway. Officers found a mangled silver sedan wedged between poles, and the unrestrained front-seat passenger had been thrown from the car. Critically injured, they were rushed to the hospital. Surveillance footage allegedly shows Contreras-Garcia abandoning the wreck without calling 911. He was arrested two days later. STORY 5: Gwinnett DA's Office recognizes law enforcement The Red, Blue, and You event wasn’t the only moment of gratitude for Gwinnett’s law enforcement. The District Attorney’s Office hosted its own appreciation ceremony, shining a spotlight on the bravery and service of officers, deputies—and even a nurse—who’ve gone above and beyond. Held at the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center, the event honored more than a dozen individuals from six agencies. “When lives are on the line, having people like this step up—it’s everything,” said DA Patsy Austin-Gatson. We’ll be right back. Break 3: Sugar Hill Ice Skating Rink Final STORY 6: GCPS announces 2026 graduation schedule Gwinnett County Public Schools just dropped the 2026 graduation schedule, and it’s a mix of tradition and big arena vibes. Phoenix High kicks things off on May 14 at Lawrenceville Lawn, while Duluth and Discovery close it out on Memorial Day, May 25, at Gas South Arena. Most schools will stick with Gas South Arena for their ceremonies, but a few—like Central Gwinnett, Brookwood, Parkview, and Mill Creek—are keeping it old-school with graduations at their home stadiums. STORY 7: Gwinnett's tag offices moving to new hours of operation in 2026 Starting in 2026, Gwinnett’s tag offices are trimming their hours—closing 30 minutes to an hour earlier each day. Beginning Jan. 1, offices will run from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Right now, they stay open until 5:30 p.m. most days and 6 p.m. on Wednesdays. Why the change? Tax Commissioner Denise Mitchell pointed to the growing use of self-service kiosks—16 in total, with three available 24/7. “We want to make things easier,” she said. Oh, and heads up: all tag offices, the main office, and the call center will close at noon on Dec. 5 for system updates. Back to normal Dec. 8.

Full transcription available at http://heartsofgoldpodcast.com/ Dorothy shares how she was inspired by her involvement in the Munster Junior Historical Society and how she created seven trail signs that highlight different aspects of Munster's history. Dorothy's favorite sign focuses on women in history. She also discusses her collaboration with the Munster Historical Society to ensure historical accuracy. Tune in to learn more about Dorothy's impactful project. More from Dorothy: I started Girl Scouts in Kindergarten as a Daisy. This will be my 13th year as a Girl Scout. Girl Scouts has provided me with many opportunities and some of my best friends. I have traveled to London with Girl Scouts, have been on the girl board and also the girl merchandising board. This year my troop has many activities planned such as an overnight to Carmel, Indiana to visit the Christkindl market and a Cultural potluck. I have earned my Bronze, Silver, and now Gold Award. I have also earned the Presidential Gold Volunteer award, and in October I am receiving the Pinnacle Leadership Award. Activities: -On my HS dance team for 3 years -take dance classes -In choir for 3 years -second year of being on the school newspaper. I earned the Quill & Scroll Gold Key Award last year. I am currently second in command for our school newspaper. -Clubs: Best Buddies, Munster Volunteer Project, Spanish Club, French Club, Mental Health Club, and might join a few more clubs this year. -National Honor Society Member - Munster Junior Historical Society: HS Legacy Ambassador. Through MJHS, I earned the DOC 200 Award. -HUM Group: Northwest Indiana's South Asian student association. I also have a student writing internship with NWI Life, an online newspaper. I write monthly about my school. I'm a DARE role model for my elementary school. I bake for local homeless shelters, volunteer with the food bank and local parks department, and love helping out when needed. My future plans are to go to college for sports journalism. I'm currently in the process of applying to colleges. I plan to stay involved with Girl Scouts at college and beyond. Key takeaways from the episode: The Girl Scout Gold Award project, titled "Bringing History Outside," involved creating seven trail signs in Munster, highlighting different aspects of the town's history. The project also included updating a Girl Scout history packet and creating a shadow box to honor a young girl who passed away. The project received a lot of support from various individuals and organizations, including the Munster Junior Historical Society and fellow Girl Scouts. The support and collaboration helped make the project successful and allowed for the organization of an event for Girl Scouts to earn a Munster History patch. The Gold Award project helped the Girl Scout, Dorothy, develop leadership skills and confidence. She had to communicate with different people, coordinate activities, and take on a leadership role during the event. The project also allowed her to explore her passion for volunteering and history, and she plans to continue being involved with Girl Scouts and her other interests in the future.

Bald kommt das Christkindl. Und damit es weiß, was es mitbringen soll, gibt's den Wunschzettel. Der wird seit 1986 in Himmelstadt im Weihnachtspostamt angenommen. Jochen Wobser ratscht in "Habe die Ehre!" mit der Leiterin Rosemarie Schotte. | Erstsendung: 16. Dezember 2020

Wir buddeln unsere Zeitkapsel wieder aus und kratzen das Datum frei: Ende November 2022 steht da. Die Folge beginnt mit etwas schweren Themen, denn anknüpfend an die letzte Folge, in der es darum ging, dass bei Arianas OP in der Kinderwunschklinik ein Fehler gemacht wurde, erzählen wir heute, dass wir schonmal die Klinik gewechselt haben. Denn die Behandlung in der ersten endete damit, dass Ariana den Arzt bei der Ärztekammer angezeigt hat… Kleine CN: es geht in dieser Sache auch um Essstörung, also wenn euch das Thema betrifft oder aufwühlt, solltet ihr die Folge nicht oder nicht alleine hören. Und natürlich wissen wir alle, dass wir keine Racheakte ausüben sollten (wie Auto zerkratzen, Hundescheiße verteilen, Ratten nach Hause schicken etc.), aber man wird ja wohl noch träumen dürfen! Zur Beruhigung können wir euch schonmal Quadratatmung empfehlen. Oder Rollenspiele. Aber um es mit den großen Philosophinnen Lady Gaga und Beyoncé zu sagen: you can fix a mirror if it's broken but you can still see the crack in that motherf***er's reflection. Oder mit den Worten von Benes Arzt: durch neues Gewebe ist ein Bruch manchmal stabiler als vorher. Micdrop. Dafür könnte mit etwas Daumendrücken der nächste Zyklus erfolgreich sein und es ein Christkindl werden! Und um das Ganze abzurunden reden wir noch über regretting mother- and fatherhood und ob ein Welpe ein gutes Vorbereitungs-Bootcamp für ein Baby ist. Viel Spaß!

Und sie blickt voraus auf den anstehenden Weichnachtsmarkt, den sogar das Nürnberger Christkindl offiziell eröffnen wird.

11.02.23 Pam Cook talks with Nancy Barton about this year's Christkindl Markt, a special one.

Zu einem folgenschweren Felssturz ist es bei Absicherungsarbeiten in steilem Gelände in Christkindl in Steyr gekommen. Zwei Arbeiter sind dabei ums Leben gekommen. Wie es zu dem tragischen Unglück kommen konnte, erzählt Christian Moser, Stadtpolizeikommandant von Steyr im Gespräch mit Life Radio Redakteur Stefan Niedermayr.

Weihnachten gibt uns Licht und Hoffnung. Weihnachten erwärmt unsere Herzen. Weihnachten berührt unsere Seelen. Die Worte, die mich an Weihnachten am tiefsten berühren, stammen aus dem englischen Weihnachtslied „O Holy Night“. Sie lauten: The thrill of hope /The weary world rejoices. Übersetzt bedeutet das: Die Freude der Hoffnung / Die ermüdete Welt jubelt. Ich sage Ihnen: Es gibt nichts auf der Welt, was Weihnachten nicht heilen kann. Wenn wir aber genau hinschauen und genau hinhören, wenn wir daran denken, was Weihnachten früher war und was es heute ist, dann müssen wir feststellen: Diese Welt der leuchtenden Kinderaugen, der Traditionen und Bräuche, die Welt des St. Martin und St. Nikolaus, die Welt der Adventskerzen, der Krippe und Engel, der Christkindl- und Weihnachtsmärkte – sie ist bedroht. Nein: Sie wird bedroht. All das, was wir als Kinder, was unsere Eltern, Großeltern, Urgroßeltern und Ururgroßeltern und alle Generationen davor erlebt und gefeiert haben. All das, was ihnen Wurzeln gegeben und Hoffnung geschenkt hat. All das versuchen linke Ideologen seit vielen Jahren zu zerstören. Aus dem St. Martins Umzug wurde in vielen Kindergärten erst der Laternenumzug. Dann das Sonne, Mond und Sterne-Fest oder Lichterfest. Aus dem Weihnachtsmarkt oder Christkindlmarkt wurde der Wintermarkt oder Lichtermarkt. Aber, es gibt sie noch. Ich betone: NOCH. Die Welt, wie wir sie kennen und lieben, wie sie uns wichtig und heilig ist. Sie lebt in den Dörfern, in kleinen Vereinen, in Sportclubs, in phantastischen Unternehmen, in Krankenhäusern – in der Welt, in der Menschen für das arbeiten, was uns wirklich wichtig ist. Es gibt noch Hoffnung für unser Land.

Kim and Producer Steve share their family Christmas traditions, the theme of today's show.  This Christmas Eve Kim welcomes Bill Federer, host of American Minute, speaker, and author of many books including There Really is a Santa Claus:  The History of Saint Nicholas & Christmas Holiday Traditions.  Bill begins with the Dead Sea Scrolls giving us evidence that Christ was born on December 25th.  Bill then shares the historical importance of St. Nicholas (270-343) over the centuries.  St. Nick worked to help the poor in their time of need.  He began his mission when he anonymously threw money into people's homes so that people would give credit to the church and subsequently the term “Secret of Gift Giving” emerged.  Other references familiar to us today that have strong connections to St. Nicholas include breakfast, Christ Cross, Christkindl, St. Patrick's three leaf clover, Wednesday, Evergreen trees, and the nativity scene.  St. Nicholas' influence can also be noted in the writings of Washington Irving and Charles Dickens, and various cities throughout the world including Gotham City.  Bill also explains how St. Nicholas became the Patron Saint of Pawnbrokers, Patron Saint of Russia and Patron Saint of the Dutch.  Bill concludes his discussion with many noteworthy historical events on Christmas Day. Show sponsor Steve Cruice, co-owner of Three Points Financial, encourages listeners to get organized for year end.  Three Points Financial provides a check list of mandatory document retention, including income tax returns.  Steve can also provide a resource to help you get all your financial information from all accounts in one place.  Email Steve at steve@threepointsfinancial.com for assistance on this.  Hal Van Hercke, owner of Castlegate Knife and Tool, thanks listeners for their patronage and wishes everyone a very Merry Christmas.  Hal cherishes people being with one another during this season and Kim chimes in that it is a time of reflection, Bible reading, and reading of other great classics.  Merry Christmas to one and all!

Is Father Christmas a deep folk memory of the ancient Yulefather? Are Santa Claus, Sinterklaas, Saint Nicholas of Myra, and Sir Christmas all memories of this same pagan character? How do reindeer figure in the Christmas tradition? What is Yule? What is a Yule Goat? When is the Night of Mothers? Who is Zwarte Piet? Who is Krampus?

Aufgrund des heftigen Schnellfalls der letzten Woche greifen wir in dieser Folge wieder zu einem roten Glühwein. Zu Beginn erzählt Tessa von einem unschönen Erlebnis mit einer Packstation, die sie erst noch in hohen Tönen gelobt hat. Doch dann driften wir in die Welt des Unerklärlichen und Unnatürlichen ab. Glauben wir zum Beispiel hat heilende Kräfte von Steinen oder Ölen? Was halten wir von Verschwörungstheorien wie die der "Flat-Earth-Society" und welches Grauen hat sich vor 60 Jahren am Djatlow-Pass zugetragen? Koexistieren wir in einer Welt mit Geistern und können uns Horoskope wirklich die Zukunft voraussagen? Was wir mit Sicherheit sagen können ist ob uns der Wein geschmeckt hat und ihr ihn probieren solltet oder lieber nicht.

Sheila Cowling, a parishioner of St. Francis de Sales in Purcellville, vividly remembers the smells of the Christkindl market of West Berlin: the air filled with the scent of spiced cider, mulled wine and gingerbread cookies. Inspired by the fragrant treats, Cowling began baking her own.  In the 30 years since her time in Berlin, she’s created a variety of gingerbread structures — a carousel, a haunted house, even a gingerbread veterinary clinic with candy animals peeking out of the windows. As she’s learned from experience, “You can make anything out of gingerbread.”  Read the full story.
