ADVENT WEEK THREE: JOYDecember 16 Rev. Jenny WynnA New HeartEzekiel 36:1-37A new heart I will give you, and a new spirit I will put within you; and I willremove from your body the heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.Ezekiel 36:26It may be cliché, but when I read Ezekiel's words, I can't help but think of theGrinch. The Grinch is a curmudgeonly character whose heart is famously “twosizes too small.” He hated everything about Christmas, so he plotted to stealChristmas.When the Grinch realizes that Christmas couldn't be stolen because Christ-mas was more than food, presents, and decorations, his heart begins to grow.What strikes me the most is when Cindy Lou Who invites this former enemy tojoin their Christmas feast. In that moment, the Grinch must become vulnerableand release the protective barriers he had built around his wounded heart.The Grinch had allowed hatred, distrust, and fear to isolate and harden him.Sound familiar? We live in times when it's easy to be consumed by fear anddistrust. Our hearts can become numb to it all.This is where Ezekiel's ancient promise becomes deeply personal. Speakingto God's people in exile, the prophet envisions complete heart transformation.God promises to remove hearts of stone and replace them with hearts offlesh: hearts that beat for justice, hearts dedicated to God's dream for cre-ation, hearts renewed in covenantal relationship with God.This Advent, we are invited to examine our own hearts. Like the exiles in Eze-kiel's time and like the Grinch in his mountain cave, we too can experiencerevival of our hearts. God can soften what has hardened, heal what has beenwounded, and give us a vision of Shalom to work toward. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

MUSICRoger Daltrey of The Who is now SIR Roger Daltrey. He was knighted by Prince William at Windsor Castle on Wednesday. It's in recognition of not only his musical achievements, but also his charity work. Here he is on the award, and what his younger self and band would've thought back in the day. https://consequence.net/2025/12/sir-roger-daltrey-knighted/ Sharon Osbourne has given her first interview since the death of her husband Ozzy this past July.Appearing Wednesday on the British TV show Piers Morgan Uncensored, hosted by her longtime friend, she opened up about his health struggles, doing his final show this past July 5th in Birmingham, England, their last conversations and much more. You can watch the show on YouTube, and here are a few excerpts:Sharon Osbourne on the last two weeks of Ozzy's life. OC:...in seven years. :27 [Courtesy of Piers Morgan Uncensored]"He was so happy Piers afterwards. And he kept looking at the papers and he goes to me, 'I never knew so many people like me.' But that was the way he was. I mean, he knew he was famous, but not to the amount that people loved him. It's a whole different thing. And he was just so happy. Happier than we'd seen him in seven years."Sharon Osbourne on dreams Ozzy was having the last week of his life. OC:...he was ready. :26 [Courtesy of Piers Morgan Uncensored]"He was having dreams the last week of his life. He was seeing people that he never knew. I said, 'Well, what kind of people?' He goes, 'All different people. And I just keep walking and walking and I'm seeing all these different people every night. And I go back there and I'm looking at these people and they're looking at me and nobody's talking.' And he he knew. He was ready." Sharon also talked about the first time she and Ozzy met, when they fell in love, how she will never want to get married again, how if she didn't have kids she would have killed herself when he died, and the thing she misses most is holding his hand.On a lighter note, she also talked about how she wanted to get back at Roger Waters for the negative things he said about Ozzy after he died. And that was by sending him a Tiffany box filled with feces, which she used to do to critics who wrote negative reviews about Ozzy's shows without being there. When she did, it was her infant son Jack's poop that would be used.She ultimately decided against it, saying, “Even that is a waste, to send [crap] to him. It's a waste because he's really insignificant. But I just thought, anybody that passes has a family… you don't do that.” (Sharon's not the first musician's wife to do that. Paul and Linda McCartney sent some of their daughter Stella's poop to a journalist who earned their trust, then betrayed them.)Going forward, Sharon says she's continuing to work on an Ozzy bio-pic and that she knows who she wants to play him. When asked if it was Yunglbud she didn't confirm nor deny.https://youtu.be/aaLMsEJKZEQ Kurt Cobain's MTV Unplugged Martin D-18E has been donated to the Royal College of Music London by Peter Freedman, who paid $6,010,000 for it at an auction in 2020.

But there are plenty of other films that spark the same argument, "Is this actually a Christmas movie?" Here are 13 more:1. Every "Harry Potter" movie (2001 - 2011). All the "Potter" flicks . . . with the possible exception of the last one . . . have some kind of yuletide vibe . . . or at least a wintry one.2. "Batman Returns" (1992). One of the big set pieces is the lighting of the Gotham Christmas tree.3. "Eyes Wide Shut" (1999). Even though it was released in July, it takes place over Christmas.4. "Gremlins" (1984). This one has Christmas written all over it. And also little green, murderous demons.5. "First Blood" (1982). The first of the "Rambo" films has a Christmas tree in the background of one scene. So . . . Christmas movie!!!6. "Trading Places" (1983). There's a Christmas party, and Dan Aykroyd as a drunken Santa waving a handgun. But it doesn't end on December 25th. If it's a Christmas movie, then it also qualifies as a New Year's movie.7. "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" (2005). This one takes place during the Christmas season in L.A. And it was released in November.8. "Edward Scissorhands" (1990). Kind of a no-brainer.9. "Lethal Weapon" (1987). Another one of those action movies that HAPPENS to take place around Christmas.10. "Rocky" (1976). This might be the greatest American holiday film of all time, because it includes Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's. And also punching.11. "Hook" (1991). The scenes in the real world, outside Neverland, are set at Christmas. 12. "Iron Man 3" (2013). The whole movie plays out around Christmas.13. "The Nightmare Before Christmas" (1993). Is it a Christmas movie or a Halloween movie? Why not both?AND THAT IS YOUR CRAP ON CELEBRITIES!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Grinch is back and jollier than NEVER! Whoville's sassiest late-night talk show host returns for season 3 with more sharp-tongued monologues about everything nipping at his nose this holiday season, his signature brand of merry mischief, and a fete of festive banter, determined to charm a sleigh-full of A-list guests into admitting that Christmas might just be ho-ho-horribly overrated.This season, Grinch unveils his boldest scam yet: "Grinch-a-palooza," an over-the-top extravaganza timed to outshine Whoville's beloved tree lighting ceremony. But when his trusted producer Cindy-Lou Who sides with the town's holiday tradition instead of helping him plan the perfect palooza, the ultimate festive face-off begins.

This week we got a fun one for you as your favorite hosts test their knowledge about the iconic 2000's film - How The Grinch Stole Christmas, and discuss some of their favorite behind the scenes moments. They also ranked their top 3 favorite Christmas movies, just in case you needed something to watch this holiday season.
Looks like you've found yourself on Santa's Naughty List!How the Grinch Stole Christmas isn't just a beloved holiday classic; it's a deep dive into the complexities of acceptance, compassion, and the true spirit of Christmas, that also contains a Mean One!From Dr. Seuss's iconic original story to its 1966 animated version and the 2000 live-action adaptation featuring Jim Carrey, the Grinch's transformation from a cynical hermit to a figure of redemption mirrors our own struggles with loneliness and societal pressures during the holiday season. The live-action movie's rights were auctioned by Dr Seuss' widow, Audrey Geisel, in 1998; with a list of strict rules the winning studio had to follow. Ron Howard's idea to flesh out the backstory of the character, and to give more agency to Cindy Lou Who was part of the winning bid, and Geisel wanted a big name star like Jim Carrey to play her late husband's iconic green character.She got Jim Carrey. But his gruelling makeup and costume process would cause tensions on the elaborately designed set that brought Whoville to life.Christmas is about more than just presents; it's about togetherness and the power of kindness, regardless of how big our hearts might be. The Grinch's story is ultimately one of of acceptance and the true spirit of Christmas.I would love to hear your thoughts on How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) !Verbal Diorama is now an award-winning podcast!

We take a fresh look at Christmas and why Cindy Lou Who had a hard time understanding Christmas, given the people and environment around her. We discuss how Christmas has been hijacked by the figure of Santa Clause and ‘gift giving.' We also reflect how this can affect younger generations to forget why we celebrate Christmas in the first place. Lastly, we reflect on why we really celebrate Christmas and what the spirit of Christmas really means. Merry Christmas!

Mr. Grinch! We did both the Boris Karloff & Jim Carrey versions because we love them both!"How the Grinch Stole Christmas" is a heartwarming holiday film based on Dr. Seuss' beloved children's book of the same name. The story unfolds in the whimsical town of Whoville, where the cheerful residents eagerly anticipate the arrival of Christmas. However, residing just outside of Whoville is the Grinch, a green, furry, and grouchy creature who despises the holiday season and everything associated with it.The Grinch concocts a mischievous plan to steal Christmas from the Whos by disguising himself as Santa Claus and sneaking into their homes on Christmas Eve. With his faithful canine companion, Max, by his side, the Grinch sets out to pilfer presents, decorations, and even the festive feast, believing that removing these material trappings will dampen the Whos' holiday spirit.As the Grinch goes about his thieving mission, he encounters Cindy Lou Who, a sweet and innocent little girl who questions the true meaning of Christmas. Cindy Lou's kindness and curiosity start to chip away at the Grinch's icy heart, and he begins to reconsider his disdain for the holiday.In a heartwarming twist, the Grinch's change of heart is catalyzed by the Whos' unshakeable joy and love for one another, even in the absence of material possessions. The film delivers a powerful message about the true spirit of Christmas, emphasizing love, generosity, and the importance of togetherness.Ultimately, "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" is a timeless tale of redemption and the transformative power of love, beautifully capturing the magic and warmth of the holiday season.Check out the merch: http://shop.backinthedaypodcast.comFriends of the Show1 Man Mafia (twitch.tv/1man_mafia)Jayke The Gamer God (twitch.tv/JaykeTheGamerGod)IB Best Gaming (https://www.tiktok.com/@ibbestgaming)Intro for the shopSupport the show'Beavis and Butt-head' Cover art created by Joe Crawford

Martha Neibling, Director of Public Relations & Marketing For Gaylord Hotels joins Hal and Ernie to discuss a big event. For the past two decades, Gaylord Texan Resort has welcomed visitors to enjoy Texas-sized holiday activities and festive décor as part of its annual Lone Star Christmas event. Every year gets bigger, better, and brighter – and this one is no exception! From November 10th – December 31st, 2023, the resort's 125-acre property will transform into a true winter wonderland that is like no other in the state of Texas. Enchanting décor will include over two million twinkling lights, 15,000 ornaments, a 54-foot-tall Christmas tree with a light show, 20-foot-tall toy soldiers, and miniature train sets. Family-friendly activities will range from ice sculptures, snow tubing, ice skating, stories with Mrs. Claus, and gingerbread decorating to an elf workshop, cirque shows, photos with Santa, Grinch character breakfasts, and MORE. The premiere and beloved event, ICE!, will feature Dr. Suess's classic holiday tale, ‘How the Grinch Stole Christmas™' created with TWO MILLION POUNDS of hand-carved ice. It took forty master carvers who traveled 7,000 miles (about twice the width of the United States) from Harbin, China, approximately thirty days to carve the 17,000-square-foot attraction. As guests travel through the wintry attraction, they will be transported to Who-Ville in over ten separate rooms where they will encounter larger-than-life scenes and characters including the Grinch, Cindy Lou-Who, Max the Dog, and the cheerful Who's themselves. Additionally, they will experience two-story-tall ice slides, dozens of photo opportunities, a life-size Nativity scene, and an ice bar for ages 21 and up.

"The world has decided so many things about me that are grossly inaccurate and if I carried the weight of all those I would be crushed and never be able to get out of bed." It's a rare occasion that the highlighted quote is spoken less than 5 minutes into a conversation with a guest! And, truthfully, there could have been 30 more. This conversation is not only the longest one we've ever aired, but also one of the most fun! Courtney is ecstatic to welcome Dr. Erika Michalski to the show as our Season 2 finale. Courtney first met Dr. Erika in 2020 as part of a leadership conference for women who work in higher education. When considering how to close the season, Dr. Erika felt like the perfect guest: brimming with enthusiasm, vibrant, brilliant, fun, and able to speak on issues that face so many women and female-presenting folks. The name of this episode actually arose from the planning session held between Erika and Courtney, and while these words are never explicitly spoken in this episode, it is the main takeaway: to live authentically as one's fullest self, out loud, is to be awesome as fuck. Dr. Erika shares her own personal experiences with courageous authenticity, enthusiasm, and showing up in the world as a be-glittered, blonde-haired, cheerleading nerd. (Sounds like an absolute dream of a combo!) She also shares some practical tips, including direct permission, for anyone listening who would like to live more authentically. Courtney and Erika also discuss such cultural icons as Cindy-Lou Who and Barbie. Yes, it's all related but you'll need to listen to learn how! About our guest: Dr. Erika Michalski is an aggressive optimist and authenticity advocate. She is passionate about data, documentaries, dance parties, and dessert. Her signature “Eat Cake for Breakfast” bag references a lifestyle choice she is very committed to and an external reminder that she chooses to move through the world unapologetically as herself. A former competitive cheerleader and collegiate cheerleading coach, Erika loves glitter AND enthusiastically encouraging everyone she meets. After exploring the unique intersection of authenticity, data, and encouraging the development of others, she founded Strategically Authentic – a consulting company dedicated to helping individuals and teams leverage who they ARE to get where they want to BE. Erika is known by clients and colleagues as the one who believes even the most ambitious goals are possible as long as there is a nimble plan rooted in authenticity ... and she is ready to celebrate successes of every size along the way to achieving them! This wife and mother of 2 was once referred to as a “big bite of food”. It was intended to be a backhanded compliment … but the data doesn't lie. She IS a big bite of food … so I hope you're hungry! You can follow Erika's work on Instagram where she can be found as @consultantbarbie. And while this is a wrap on Season 2 we do have a quick ask of you: Please tell us which episodes should be included in our Pragmatic Summer Replay! We'll be choosing 8-10 episodes to give a second airing while Courtney breaks in publication in order to record Season 3. What episodes best capture the spirit of the show? Which ones had the biggest impact on you? What would be a good introduction for folks who are just finding us? Share wherever you're listening, on our social media (on IG as @alchemybhc or @pragmaticalchemypod) or email courtney@shineandsoar. That's also the address to send us topic ideas or guest suggestions for Season 3, questions, or any other feedback. Don't forget to rate review and subscribe wherever you're listening!

Merry Christmas, Kaiju Lovers! And yes, you read that right! Nathan is covering a holiday “monster movie”—because his real sister said so! Yes, Sarah Marchand joins him as a guest host to discuss one of the movies that they've, ironically, bonded over: How the Grinch Stole Christmas, starring Jim Carrey. While it stretches the purview of the podcast thinly, Nathan does justify it with some weak connections (like Rick Baker making the Grinch costume and makeup). While Sarah is quite nostalgic for this movie, having seen it when she was about the same age as Cindy Lou Who, it's a guilty pleasure for Nathan because he has issues with it as an adaptation of a classic Dr. Seuss book and the original 1966 animated TV special. Expect to hear almost the entire film—or at least Jim Carrey's lines—quoted throughout! But Nathan and Sarah do agree that, despite this movie's faults, it's better than the stupid new horror parody, The Mean One. To hear the uncut version, where Nathan interviews Sarah about playing Jessica Shaw (aka Crystal Lady) on MIFV, join MIFV MAX on Patreon using the link below.

In this episode of 25 Days of Christmas, Patricia and Carlene discuss about the 2018 Illumination animated film The Grinch, based on the 1957 book How the Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss. In the town of Whoville, The Grinch hates Christmas for multiple reasons. He comes with an idea to steal Christmas from the Whos by disguising himself as Santa and grab all the gifts, trees, and food and tossing it away to make them miserable. Meanwhile, Cindy Lou Who wants to capture Santa so that she can make a wish to make her single, hardworking mother happy. What did Patricia and Carlene think of this film? Listen and find out. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/old-school-lane/support
