I'm James Navé with The Imaginative Storm Writing Project. Today, I'm delighted to perform “A Visit from St. Nicholas” by Clement Clarke Moore—more commonly known as 'Twas the Night Before Christmas. Moore (1779–1863) was a writer, scholar, and professor of Oriental and Greek literature, as well as a philanthropist and land developer. His poem is widely credited with shaping American Christmas traditions. Does Santa look like this? "He had a broad face and a little round belly That shook when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly. He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf, And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself." One of my fondest memories of this poem is watching poet Allan Wolf, during the Asheville Poetry Slam in December 1992, wrap himself in flashing Christmas lights and spin wildly while performing it. One of my fondest memories of this poem is watching poet Allan Wolf, during the Asheville Poetry Slam in December 1992, wrap himself in flashing Christmas lights and spin wildly while performing it. Though I've never donned Christmas lights myself, I've always loved how the poem's rhyming narrative bounces along. Some performers punch the rhymes, but I prefer understating them and letting the story carry you through. Enjoy!

Moms take on too many responsibilities over the holiday season, leaving them feeling more stressed than joyful.

Do you like cooking the holiday meal or would you rather order food & enjoy a day off? Does Santa wrap gifts or leave them unwrapped in your house? 3 moms, 3 real Christmas perspectives, and lots of laughs!

WARNING: IF YOUR CHILD IS A ~*FAN*~ OF SANTA CLAUS, PLEASE LISTEN ON HEADPHONES A holiday special of The Mail-In this week with Brett Merriman and Sally deFries!

Is Santa Claus a fun holiday tradition or a harmful lie?Critics of Santa argue that using a fictional character to judge behavior and the idea of a naughty and nice list is not only ineffective, but moreover teaches children to behave only to avoid being on the naughty list. And this messaging may even have a negative impact on children in the longterm.Many parents are worried. So what does the research tell us? Does Santa encourage good behavior? Is it lying to encourage a belief in Santa? Will children be upset when they find out the truth? And can parents encourage children to believe for longer?Let's find out! ------Sign up for the Parenting Translator Substack, and follow along on Instagram.Parenting Translator is hosted by Dr. Cara Goodwin and is produced by Earfluence.Dr. Cara Goodwin, Ph.D., is a child psychologist and mother to three children who "translates" research on parenting and child development into information that is accurate, relevant, and useful to parents.

In this episode Bill and Chris continue their discussion on stretching and relate it back to how the research is done. This evolves into a conversation about understanding research and how we can interpret the results. The “do your own research” crowd typically gathers minimal information from the actual studies they are investigating, if they even look at the studies at all. By reading headlines and the titles of reddit posts, the DYOR folks, or better yet, the “evidence based” crowd tend to overlook the counterfactuals and shortcomings of the research being done. A more thorough analysis is needed, and there will always need to be further questioning in order to stay on the path towards the truth and what is most useful. #stretching #fitness #dyor #tabata #research LIKE the podcast to help other see itCOMMENT on YT with any questions you might have and let's start a discussionSHARE it with anyone who you know is stuck in the land of fitness confusion SUBSCRIBE for even more helpful content:YT: https://www.youtube.com/@BillHartmanPTIG: https://www.instagram.com/bill_hartman_pt/FB: https://www.facebook.com/BillHartmanPTWEB: https://billhartmanpt.com/ Podcast audio:https://open.spotify.com/show/7cJM6v5S38RLroac6BQjrd?si=eca3b211dafc4202https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/reconsider-with-bill-hartman/id1662268221or download with YT Premium Books mentioned in this episode:All Gain, No Pain by Bill Hartman https://amzn.to/3kHpJjT Important questions asked in this episode:(0:00) Does Santa exist?(2:23) What are researchers even trying to do?(7:24) Why is doing your research through reading headlines and abstracts problematic?(12:52) Why do people perceive a varied perspective as a personal attack?(19:23) Why is the Tabata research a good example of how people are mislead?(27:16) Should we even care if we cannot measure the thing that is supposedly happening?

In this episode, we take your questions and talk about them. This week's questions include the following topics: What educational apps we would recommend How to handle a co-parenting situation where you have no control with what's happening in the other home How to help our kids with bad dreams and night terrors How to further talk to your kids about Santa, Easter bunny, Tooth Fairy, etc. Managing a child who craves being social more than we have the energy for The Questions:  I am a first grade teacher in public school. I often get asked about educational apps that I would recommend. Knowing what you know about screen time, what is your opinion about using a tablet for educational purposes? I'm a stepmom of three children who live with their mom 70% of the time. My husband and I do plan to fight for more custody this year. My question relates to how to co-parent with someone who is working from a different worldview. Their mom is more focused on herself and her life than the kids. She frequently leaves them home by themselves (ages 13, 10, and 8) until midnight or later while she is out at the bar. She has had a live-in boyfriend and other boyfriends that are a part of their daily life (most of these men also have kids who come around). They do not have consistency or security with their mom. We have had the kids in counseling for almost a year and even the counselor said it's a struggle when we can only be consistent with them when we have them 30% of the time. On top of that, I'm the stepparent so I have little influence/say over any interactions with their mom. I have a great deal of frustrations/concerns/questions surrounding this topic and i am trying to keep this brief. --Jamie I listened to your podcast regarding the holiday season. I loved it. My husband and I LOVE that you say "Santa is pretend and we pretend in this house." I know you had said that you just make that blanket statement and move on. We are struggling when our 4 year old daughter wants to know more and more about Santa. Last night when we were talking to her at bed time she was asking questions like, "Does Santa sleep in a bed?", "Where does Santa eat?", "How does Santa get everywhere?" So, even though she didn't say, "Is Santa real?", we did say, "He sleeps in a pretend bed. He eats pretend food."...etc. Do you have other suggestions? To be honest, she doesn't like the idea of Santa. She doesn't like that he goes into people's houses and she's scared of him when she sees him at a mall or anything. So last year Santa "delivered on our porch"...but even with that she woke up a few times that night and nights leading up to it and said, "Are you sure he's not going to come in our house?" Also, do you tell your kids to NOT tell other kids about him being pretend? --Amber What is your advice for providing opportunities for a child who enjoys/thrives on being social, around people way more than I have energy for? My husband and are social people--he even more than me and we feel like we provide plenty of social opportunities, yet it never seems to be enough from her perspective. She loves serving/helping so we have involved her in some (though limited) of those activities. When as parents do you draw the line? How to handle bad dreams and night terrors in young kids?

This week we (Lissi and Joy) discuss the joy of gift giving during the holidays, and how we decide who brings what… Santa? Mom and Dad? Grandparents? We talk about the traditions we started for Christmas morning and how deeply we are committed to them at this point (whether we like it or not!) We also talk about Christmas lists, what we get our in-laws, spouses, siblings, collaborating on parent’s gifts, and how impossible we are to shop for. We would love to hear from you! What is your system for gift giving at your house? Does Santa bring the big gifts or is he in charge of smaller things? Also, do your kids wake up bright and early Christmas morning? Do you and your spouse try to surprise each other with gifts or do you buy for yourself? Join in the conversation on instagram or in the facebook group. We can’t wait to hear from you!

We get into the Christmas spirit by debating the value of incorporating Santa as a part of your family's holiday experience. Does Santa steal Jesus' thunder? Will kids become jaded when they find out he's not real? This naturally leads into the question of if/when lying to your kids is good and, as usual, they try to answer that question by asking what God is like. If you haven't decided your family's Santa policy yet or you enjoy a friendly argument among friends, this one is for you.   Intro music- "As Colourful as Ever" by Broke for Free from FMA under CC BY 3.0   Closing music- "Take your Chances" by OpVious from FMA under CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0
