Podcasts about A Christmas Story

Did Herod really kill the “Holy Innocents”? No history book mentions it. Same with Luke's Census that forces the Holy Family to Bethlehem. Are these real events? Plus: was Jesus really born in a cave?

Born of a Virgin. Attended by angels. A fantastic, movable star. How can we believe this stuff? Plus: Why taking God's name is such a common, but deadly serious sin.

Crystal Carson originally joined us way back for Episode #15, our very first ever Holidays Gone Good. In that episode, you got to hear a portion of her magical holiday story. Now you get to hear the whole thing completely unedited. As we approach our 3rd anniversary, we thought it'd be fun to dive back in and share some of the stories that got left on the cutting room floor. Crystal originally told this story to host Steve Silverman over 30 years ago and it stuck with him. So let's all get our jingle on a lil' early, yes? This is Crystal Carson's full holiday gone good story.

This week Burke speaks with Matt Dragovits, who wrote the Christmas story, Zach's Quest: A Tale for Christmas. Growing up in a family of nine kids, Matt knows more than most the significance of celebrating the Christmas season. Matt created two versions of the book, one for younger children and another for teenagers. The difficulty for the book was finding its niche in a market full of Christmas books.

Hello and Happy Christmas in July! In today's episode I read you a charming Christmas story called "Mr. Kris Kringle". In this classic story, it's Christmas Eve, and two children and their single mother are facing having to leave their home soon and move to the city. They are also poor so Kris Kringle - aka Santa Claus - won't be able to visit them this year. After the kids go to bed for the night, they hear a noise outside. What - or who? - could it be? Kris Kringle? A Robber? What happens next is a beautiful story of miracles and redemption.  Buy me a coffee? www.ko-fi.com/cozychristmas  Ornaments, Mugs, and Notebooks: https://www.etsy.com/shop/CozyChristmasPodcast  Logo shirt designs: http://tee.pub/lic/edygC_h4D1c    Contact Me: facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cozychristmaspodcast  instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cozychristmaspodcast/  twitter: https://twitter.com/CozyXmasPod  youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCikiozEbu0h9pKeI1Ei5TQ email: cozychristmaspodcast@gmail.com     #Christmas #Christmaspod #Christmasstory

Another hidden horror gem from the director of.... A Christmas Story?

Have you ever watched the movie “A Christmas Story”? There is a scene where Ralphie is helping his dad change a tire for the first time. He was holding the lug nuts in the hubcap, and his dad's hand hits the hubcap, sending the hardware flying through the air, glistening in the lights of the passing cars and into a snowbank. Then, Ralphie releases an F-Bomb. All my passwords were gone. Instead of deleting the subcategory, I trashed the whole database. I had that Ralphie (Oh Fudge) moment when I realized what I did. After the initial panic, I took a deep breath and said, “Now what?” When I thought about it, it was a blessing. Okay, let me reiterate that I do not recommend that you do that to yourself. It was sheer terror at first, but then I found the silver linings and embraced the positives. Starting over is never easy, but in the long run, the effort could be worth the investment in time. I think the lesson here is passwords or contact information are only useful if they are part of personal connections with whom they are being collected and saved. “Data are just summaries of thousands of stories – tell a few of those stories to help make the data meaningful.” — Chip and Dan Heath In this episode, we will discuss how you are managing your passwords... can help build better business relationships.

Detroit Lions 2023 Spring Season Ends In this episode of the Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Jeff react to the end of the Detroit Lions 2023 spring season. OTAs, minicamp, interviews, all of it gone. Ending like the turkey at the hands of the Bumpuses dogs in, "A Christmas Story." Disaster is ready to strike NFL fans everywhere as just about any positive, meaningful bit of news about fans' teams will simply evaporate. Sure, there will be police reports to discuss, and the standard kind of things that happen when young men with a lot of money get a bunch of free time, there will of course be players spotted working out together on Instagram. The reality - this is the best time for the media to take a break. Resort to talking about themselves, or even getting you to talk about them. Maybe a quick "let's vote on the funniest player name" contest will break out. Mostly its going to be people talking about dopes like the idiot at the Freep that everyone knows is a turd. Worry not, we've got a slate of content on tap to keep you interested, entertained, and ready to go when the Detroit Lions 2023 NFL season gets moving again with the start of Training Camp in Allen Park. Detroit Lions Podcast Has You Covered The Detroit Lions Podcast has you covered, not just this week, but all summer long.We've got a lot of great content coming from key interviews with the team, to in-depth analysis on how we see the team evolving into the 2023 season. Before we get too far ahead of ourselves, we need to talk about what's going on in this show! We'll cover the winners and losers of minicamp. What that means and how it sets players and coaches up ahead of training camp. We'll also discuss whether there's anything the "losers" can do to help improve their chances upon their return. We also need to discuss injuries in minicamp and OTAs. What does that mean, how did the Lions fare, and what concerns exist ahead of the break. We'll also talk about bad questions. Like really bad questions. Like having an opportunity to ask a question and freezing, or being so unprepared, or worse, dishonest that one has a genuinely harmful question they fire off. Michael Grey put the shot over the bow, and boy the very next day that dope from the Freep took that and ran in the opposite direction. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3rB_Ocp-oA Let us know what you think about the show by commenting in the podcast thread in the subreddit, or by leaving us a voice mail message via Skype at: Detroit Lions Podcast Your input will help make the show better, and if you leave us a message on Skype, you just might be featured in an upcoming podcast!

Shirley Bell stars as Little Orphan Annie... Epi 5: "Light in the Mysterious Deserted House" ... this follows the previous episode when Tony is arrested for robbery....and of course it is all about "Ovaltine"... when I post one of these shows I cannot stop thinking about the 1983 film "Christmas Story" based on Jean Shepherd's story in his 1966 book, "In God We Trust". Remember Ralphie Parker who wanted a Red Ryder Range 200 Shot BB gun for Christmas. Of course every day he got home from school he would tune in "Little Orphan Annie" on the console radio and when he got his decoder ring in the mail he thought he could win a prize that would help him get the toy gun he wanted... but when he decoded his first message... It was about buying Ovaltine! That experience changed Ralphies view toward Little Orphan Annie's Radio Program and commercial advertising! Great film and Little Orphan Annie was a great series, despite the ads of Ovaltine.

What's up, dudes? It makes sense that a Christian music record label would release a version of the Christmas Story, right? Yup. Sparrow Records, founded in 1976 by Billy Ray Hearn, then A&R director at Myrrh Records, did exactly that! In 1987, Sparrow released a promotional album to radio stations containing several of their biggest artists narrating the Nativity story. The B-side contained some Christmas IDs of these stars wishing us all a Merry Christmas. The Christmas Story narration is done in this order: Michael Card is up first, followed by Scott Wesley Brown, Margaret Becker, Steve Camp, and Richard Souther. Michael Card then takes it up again, this time followed by Steven Curtis Chapman, Geoff Moore, Rick Florian of White Heart, Deniece Williams, and Steve Green. The musical selections were taken from Steve Green's album Joy To The World! The Scripture reading was taken from The New International Version translation.Steven Curtis Chapman? Check. The guys from White Heart? Yup. Deniece Williams?!? Well, let's hear it for the voice! So grab your donkey, knock on all the doors to the town's inns, and remember what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown, as the Sparrow artists narrate the Christmas Story!Check us out on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Totally Rad Christmas Mall & Arcade, Teepublic.com, or TotallyRadChristmas.com!
