Join The Crew and our special guest Lisa Lucario-Greene as we celebrate Yule together! Gather around the table with your favorite beverage as we discuss Yule traditions.  Alexandra shares the pagan traditions and she shows the similarity between old pagan traditions and Christian traditions such as putting a tree in your house. Putting garland also is a pagan tradition! Who knew?! Odin is also known as the Long Bearded God, perhaps that is where Santa comes from? It was also a time of fertility for women and was dedicated to women and women's rituals. Can we all get a “down with the patriarchy” on that one! Just another example of how women's voices have been suppressed over time.  Brenda lived in Sweden for a couple of years and she shares Christmas traditions and how “Santa” comes on Christmas Eve and hands out the gifts to the children.  The Crew shares their own family traditions, how Chandra and Camille like to dress up as Krampus on Christmas and scare the neighborhood children. Just kidding, they don't actually do that but I wouldn't put it past them.   Rosalie share her traditions coming from New Mexico. She shares the tradition of Las Posadas. In this tradition the children act out the parts of Mary and Joseph, the community gathers and they go through the Christmas story. The tradition of Luminarias, this would have been done with stacked wood fires by their homes and these would be used to keep the community members warm as they walked around for Los Posadas. Brenda shares that Sweden has a similar tradition but using snow ball pyramids with a candle in the pyramid. Rosalie shared all of the traditional foods that had all of our mouths watering.   Lisa shares her traditions with us. Her great grandparents came from Sicily. Christmas Eve is was a full spread of Italian food and then off to midnight Mass. On Christmas Day they would celebrate the “American” way. Lisa is hosting her family this year and she is going full blown Italian with her cuisine. She is in the middle of writing a book about her “Big Crazy Italian Family” and it is making her really want to relive the past.   Chandra shares that she and her husband like to get up and make a big southern breakfast and then open presents together.   Alexandra shares her family tradition of getting up for coffee and hot chocolate and then opening presents together. They always go to the movies together as a family on Christmas day. They also celebrate “Boxing Day” with friends to share the holidays with their created family.  Aaron has a pressing question for the viewers. “What in the heck is fruitcake weather?” Camille thinks it is a doorstop. Brenda and Ro love fruitcake. We are a table divided by fruitcake! Feel free to weigh in on your thoughts about this seasonal delight. Is it a love/love, hate/hate, or hate to love kind of situation?  We would love to know traditions from our listeners in other countries!  Aaron discusses his childhood traditions as well as his current traditions for him and his husband. Since they are both teachers they like to celebrate on the first day that they are free from school by opening presents with their 3 dogs. We also celebrate Aaron's birthday!  So, no matter how you define family we hope that you were all feeling the love from our “crazy family” to each of you.  “Viva Evolution” Camille  “I really think that is what this time of year is about. Community and re-kindling lost friendships and welcoming new things into your life.” Alexandra  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Santa Claus is a myth that we bring to life every year during the holiday season. For over 30 years, Glen Heroy has been embodying the magic of Santa. And what a Santa! As someone who has listened to countless childrens' dreams, who better to speak to us about "the poetry of what Santa can be?" Glen is also a clown, a character actor and a celebrity impersonator. He plays the spoons, teaches clowning and how to be Santa and also sings with The Jazz Bastards. He is also a very important clown on staff at Memorial Sloan Kettering. MUSIC: Theme song- "February 5th" by Lee Chernowetz "Cool Yule" by The Jazz Bastards "Doubting Thomas" by East Agony Free Music Archives: Santa Claus is Coming to Town by John Bartmann Slow Jumper's Harp by 75 Dollar Bill Swirling Snowflakes by Maarten Schellekens

It's now something of a tradition for the dragons to tackle the yearly Christmas episode by telling you something mildly horrifying about Christmas traditions. This year, Jules and Madeleine have delved further than ever before into the practices and traditions that predate the ideal of a modern winter festival. Looking at everything from Wren Hunts to Seasonal Monarchs, Krampus to Christmas Trees, this is an episode for those of you who want a little break from the saccharine slant of the season.   Wishing all our listeners a very Merry Christmas, Cool Yule or non-denominational winter celebration of your choice.   Title music: Ecstasy by Smiling Cynic

Thank you for joining me, Clara on Your Sleep Guru Podcast, and allowing me to help you relax and fall asleep. Winter is the season of stark, beautiful contrasts and the shorter days and cooler weather allow for quiet time and reflection. This meditative visualization embodies the spirit of the season. A reindeer will pull you on a sledge through a wintery landscape. When you reach your destination, you will experience Yule at an isolated log cabin in a forest.Yule predates the Christmas holiday by thousands of years. Linguists suggest the name Yule originates from the Anglo-Saxon word “Iul,” which means wheel and so consequently draws a link to the wheel figured in the Celtic calendar. In the Norse culture, “Jul” refers to the god, Odin, who was celebrated throughout Yule as well. Yule celebrations included bonfires, decorating with holly, mistletoe and the boughs of evergreen trees, feasts, and gift-giving.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/bePatron?u=27173112)

Cool Yule to Y'all

The Ether Game Brain Trust asks, can you name this yuletide tune? Here's a hint: a six-day performance...

The Ether Game Brain Trust asks, can you name this yuletide tune? Here's a hint: a six-day performance...

The Spirit of Christmas We start our 2015 Christmas playlist with Kenneth Cook’s 1954 March Medley. This has been a seasonal favourite amongst Salvation Army bands for as long as I can remember – and more! Featuring ‘Good Christian Men Rejoice’, ‘The Holly and the Ivy’ and ‘See Amid the Winter’s Snow’ it will set our feet tapping! It is played here by the Nottingham Memorial Halls Band. Sing A Song of Christmas If our feet are already tapping then Len Ballantine’s song will get our hands clapping as well! This song has been a popular addition to the Christmas repertoire both in the SA and beyond. We featured it with our own songster brigade this year at Lincoln Citadel but this is from the International Staff Songsters album ‘Sing Noel’ Stars are Shining Back to 1941 now and a beautiful collaboration between Catherine Baird and Charles Skinner – 2 very well-known and fondly remembered names in SA music. This carol has retained its popularity and this lovely recording is by the Sunbury Junior Singers under Joy Webb’s leadership. Rhapsody for Cornet and Band A real ‘one man’ effort here – for this is Terry Camsey’s classic cornet solo based on the carol ‘A Christmas Lullaby – by Terry Camsey – and played by the composer himself with the International Staff Band at a festival during the 1978 International Congress. Terry is another much-loved and much-missed Salvationist musician having been Promoted to Glory shortly after attending ISB 120 a couple of years or so ago. Grown Up Christmas List Although not currently an active Salvationist Darren Bartlett is a well-known name to most of us. He has composed many songs that are well-used around the Army world including ‘In The Army’ and ‘Healing Christ’ and he is the leader of Salvacosta, a choir made up of mostly either current or past members of the SA and who reached the final of the BBC Choir of the Year competition in 2014.  Darren and I were born just a few days apart and we have attended music schools and worked together now for over 40 years. This lovely song is from a CD he made with the North York Temple Band a few years ago. Sleep, Holy Child Another well-known SA soloist is Sue Blyth and this beautiful song is taken from a CD Sue recorded some years ago now. Sue is currently SL at Peterborough Corps. Cool Yule Another good friend of mine, Martyn Thomas, has recently returned to SA service after a gap of many years, praise God! He has composed many songs band pieces in rock and swing styles, of which this is one. Martyn is from a line of accomplished SA musicians – his late father, Stan, was BM at Southsea Corps and leader of The Joybelles singing group which Martyn’s grandfather held the same position and wrote the march Southsea Citadel. Cool Yule is based on ‘Good King Wenceslas’ God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen Here are Salvacosta with an up-beat arrangement of the popular carol in a Latin-American style. I recently heard the group sing this live in a sell-out concert in Branksome where they have helped raise over £35,000 for a local charity over the last 10 years. Long, Long Ago Another carol that has achieved popularity far beyond the limits of The Salvation Army itself is this one, Long Long Ago, by Ray Steadman-Allen – and this version is from a now seldom-remembered LP that Cambridge Heath Band recorded with popular singing due Chas and Dave in 1986. O Heaven-Sent King For centuries now aspiring composers have studied the harmonisations of the great composer Johann Sebastien Bach and few of the master’s chorales can match the sheer beauty of his setting of this old German melody. The words in this arrangement are by Miriam Richards but church choirs will still be more familiar with ‘O Little One Sweet, O Little One Mild’ that uses the same tune. This recording is by The Central Singers – a male voice group who came from Derby Central Corps. The New-Born Babe Bruce Broughton’s chorale-type setting is one of those wonderful arrangements that, when heard, one always asks why it is not played more often!  Maybe the fact it was published in the old Festival Series meant that many bands have never had this in their collections – but, surely, in this digital age, SP&S could do something about that?  This recording is from the ISB’s ‘Christmas Festival in Brass’ LP from 1974. The Holly and the Ivy For many of us, the International Staff Songsters have never been as fresh and exciting as during their formative years under Norman Bearcroft and this arrangement is typical of their music from that period. This is from their LP Season’s Greetings. Please remember Norman in your prayers as he is recovering from a serious fall just short of his 90th birthday. We Three Kings Here we have a truly Eastern setting of the familiar carol as recorded by The Joystrings. Soon It Will Be Christmas (Ieuan’s Song) Although I have written a new song for Christmas almost every year for the last 30 years few have managed to match the popularity of ‘My Christmas Wish’ – a song that became the title track of my first solo CD and which I still have several requests to perform every year. A couple of years ago I sat down and tried to compose a ‘sequel’ to that song, which focussed on all the ‘trimmings’ of the season with the hope that people would let Jesus back into His own celebration.  As I sat, trying to write, my youngest son Ieuan – who was just 8 at the time – kept coming up with suggestions for ‘next lines’, pertinent rhymes etc. – so I gave him a co-writing credit and put his name in the title.  This recording is just a rough demo I made until I have the opportunity to record a 2nd Christmas CD (provisionally planned for 2018). No Room Barbara Allen is another talented SA musician I have had the privilege of knowing for many years – going back to her days in Blackpool with the group ‘Close Encounters of the Real Kind’ but, for a long time now, Barbara has been settled in California where she has done much great work with Salvation Army vocal groups. This song is taken from her CD ‘Through It All’ and I pray we all have room for Jesus in our own hearts this Christmas and always! Carol Of The Bells Norman Bearcroft was writing great music long for SA singers long before he formed the ISS in 1979/1980, of course. This perennial favourite, with words by Ivy Mawby, dates from way back in 1965. It Came Upon a Midnight Clear The name William Broughton appears at the top of many SA band arrangements and, of course, Bill is an extremely well-known and accomplished trombone player. This solo arrangement of the tune we know as ‘Willis’ is in his familiar jazzy style and comes from his Christmas Collection ‘Let it Snow’. Bill is now living in Australia and recently conducted the wedding of another famous SA musician Barrie Gott. Go, Tell it on the Mountain More trombones – and, indeed, more Bill Broughton, now – but this time as part of the ensemble known as ‘Spiritual to the Bone’ taking the message of Christmas and telling it on the mountain – over the hills and everywhere! Take the Light of Jesus to the World On the same day I wrote ‘Soon it will be Christmas’ that we heard earlier I was asked to write a carol for Southampton Shirley Singing Company for them to perform in the annual corps carol service which, that year, had the theme ‘Christmas Around the World’ – so I wrote them this simple song with the chorus: “From Sweden to Surinam, from Poland to Pakistan, The light that shone in the sky that night still shines within my heart. And everywhere in the world tonight we can share the joy of that Christmas night – And take the light of Jesus to the world.” You’re Welcome The Joystrings again – and a song to welcome the Saviour to His world. Until I first remastered their back catalogue some years ago at the request of Peter Dalziel for a group reunion I had not really appreciated that almost half the group’s total musical output was made up of Christmas music. Christmas Praise From 1984 this is a newer march than our opener but one that has become as popular as any other seasonal march in recent years. Composed by Australian Salvationist Noel Jones Christmas Praise contains ‘God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen’, ‘Hark the Herald’, ‘Normandy Carol’ and ‘The Manger Scene (Away in a Manger)’ – as well as a late nod to ‘O Come all Ye Faithful’.  Played for us here by the Regent Hall Band. To conclude the playlist I leave you with the Amsterdam Staff Songsters and the beautiful ‘A Christmas Blessing’ A Christmas Blessing Wishing all listeners a truly blessed Christmas 2015 and an inspiring new year! May we all work together for the extension of God’s Kingdom in the year ahead. God bless you all!

Cool Yule to Y'all.

I have a particular fondness for A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. I always have. To me, it's one of the top three reads for Christmas every year. I read from the last chapter, last year. This year, I'll be reading from the first. A little Christmas haunting provided by Jacob Marley. Please join me.

Lorrieann Russell is back on the show to celebrate Cool Yule with me -- reading a sneak peek from her next release, In the Wake of Ashes and talking about her latest release, My Brother's Keeper. We'll talk about all things William Fylbrigge tonight! Please join us!My Brother's Keeper**Available in ebook and paperback formats** Scottish noble William Fylbrigge has finally come into his own after being named as the Earl of Sutherland and heir to Lord Edward, the Duke of Stonehaven -- titles that his older brother Thomas always expected would be his own. With the assistance of some dangerous new allies, including the corrupt but powerful Bishop Dunkirk, Thomas and his dragon wife Bryndah level the charge of witchcraft against the new Earl, threatening his life and family, and all those who support him. Especially since the charge may more true than they imagined. Will the people he has led the charge to protect now come to his side in his time of need?

Diane Strong has parlayed a love of running into some incredible suspense shorts that are just as tense as they are wonderful reads. Diane is joining me tonight to read the Christmas scene from her novel, Out and Back, and then chat with me about reading and running and writing. Please join us for the fun!Out and Back An out and back is a run that starts and ends at the same point. Along the way we are changed. In the end we are back where we started. Amber runs every morning, bakes home cooked meals, and keeps a spotless home. She homeschools her children, grows an organic garden and milks her own goats. But Amber Stonewall is not perfect. She is a mother who fails, a wife who is unable to show affection, a daughter who is absent and a sister who knows it all. When her mom dies, it all slaps her in the face.

I love having Kallypso Masters on the show. Not only does she add the spice of romance but the place sizzles at the same time. The lady is incredibly talented and the show is gonna be a hot one tonight. She'll be reading the Christmas scene from her latest, Nobody's Perfect. Please join us!Nobody's Perfect The continuing story of Savannah Gentry (now Savi Baker) and Damian Orlando from Masters at Arms and Nobody's Hero. Savannah/Savi escaped the abuse, torture, and degradation forced upon her by a sadistic father for eleven years and has made a safe life for herself and her daughter. When her father threatens her peace of mind--and her daughter's safety--Savi runs to Damian Orlando for protection. Damian, a wounded warrior, has had his own dragons to fight in life, but has never forgotten Savannah. He will lay down his life to protect Savi and her daughter, but doesn't believe he can offer more than that. She deserves a whole man, something he can never be after a firefight in Iraq. Maybe sexual healing is what both of them need to find their way back to each other.

Since there are evergreen trees everywhere this time of year, even here in sweltering Florida (if they're store-bought), we thought it appropriate to present "Why the Evergreen Tree is Ever Green", a fable that probably originated in Canada and illustrates the rewards of being kind to others in need -- an important thing to remember all year long, though it receives special attention at this time of year.It's our holiday podcast from Orlando, Florida, where the weather hasn't been exactly North Pole-ish lately, so we decided to seek chillier climes on the inside. Namely, at "Ice" the special exhibit of magnificent ice sculptures on display at the Gaylord Palms Hotel Convention Center through Jan. 3. This exhibit is now in its fourth consecutive year (at holiday time, only, of course) and is carved from 400-lb. blocks of ice -- some frozen quickly to give it a milky hue, some frozen slowly to make it clear, and some colored with food dye and sculpted into delectable shapes to make Hansel and Gretel salivate. There are deer, there are polar bears, there's a train, there's Santa's sleigh, and of course the obligatory nativity scene. All of it kept at a refreshing 9 degrees Fahrenheit. But we were issued parkas to keep us not quite frozen solid. One of the most fun things about the exhibit is a big slide that kids of all ages can slide down -- and like everything else in the place, it's constructed entirely of ice.The sculptures are created every year by artisans (a fancy word for wizards, it appears) brought over from China, where such ice festivals are a really big deal -- and have been since at least 400 years ago, when the tradition began with lanterns made of ice in Harbin.And, in keeping with the holiday spirit of charitable giving, part of the proceeds from this event go to Give Kids the World Village, a resort for kids afflicted with life-threatening illness.May you have a Cheery Christmas, a Happy Hannukah, a Quality Kwanzaa, a Cool Yule, a Fabulous First, and an all-around unforgettable 2008!Happy Listening,Dennis (Narrator, Oak Tree, Old Man winter), Kimberly (Bird, Fir Tree) and Zephyr (Birch Tree, Jack Frost)
