Anyone who has watched the Holiday Classic, It's A Wonderful Life, can fondly recall Clarence, the guardian angel sent to earth to aid George Bailey in his time of need. Clarence helped George see the value in his life, and George helped Clarence earn his wings. This touching story has led many to wonder if there really are angels by our side and what their role may be in our lives. Lorna Byrne has been seeing and talking to angels since she was a baby. As a young child, she assumed everyone could see the beings who always accompanied her. Today, sick and troubled people from around the world are drawn to her for comfort and healing, and even theologians of different faiths seek her guidance. Lorna offers us a unique insight into the angelic help that is around us and available to us all the time. As Lorna says, "All you have to do is ask." Lorna is a spiritual teacher, international bestselling author, and philanthropist. She has dedicated her life to reminding humanity of the spiritual potential within us all. She is the author of seven best-selling books, including Angels in My Hair, A Message of Hope from the Angels. She is founder of the Lorna Byrne Children's Foundation, and the Seraph Foundation. Lorna has been featured worldwide by CNN, NBC Today, BBC, The London Times, The Economist, and many others.   Follow CYACYL: Website: www.cyacyl.com Digital: www.cyacyl.com/digital Upcoming shows: www.cyacyl.com/shows Facebook: www.facebook.com/changeyourattitudechangeyourlife Music: www.purple-planet.com

While Smirnoff critiques the story's depiction of bullying and societal discrimination, Brill and Bruner highlight the darker themes that often go unnoticed in this beloved holiday classic. Apio, Schwem, and Dryden emphasize the need for more positive messages about acceptance and kindness, reflecting on the broader societal issues of racism and exclusion. Through their combined perspectives, these comedians shed light on the importance of re-evaluating traditional narratives to promote inclusivity and empathy during the holiday season.(00:02:43) Comedians Balancing Work and Holiday Celebrations(00:07:03) Rudolph's Discrimination in Holiday Classic(00:11:46) "Dark Themes in Rudolph the Reindeer"(00:15:25) Nostalgic Christmas Tales Filled with Laughter(00:30:27) Bittersweet Sentiment of Christmas Tree Tradition(00:35:27) Fireplace Mishap with Southern Christmas Tree(00:38:52) Nostalgic Stories of Festive Holiday Traditions(00:41:06) Resilient Holiday Traditions: Soviet Union to America(00:57:22) "Hawaiian Names in Santa's Gift Giving"(01:13:35) "Festive Laughter: A Comedian's Christmas Chronicles"(01:16:21) Thoughtful Holiday Gift Selection Recommendations(01:21:51) Emotional Significance in Gift GivingSupport the showStandup Comedy Podcast Network.co www.StandupComedyPodcastNetwork.comFree APP on all Apple & Android phones....check it out, podcast, jokes, blogs, and More!For short-form standup comedy sets, listen to: "Comedy Appeteasers" , available on all platforms.New YouTube site: https://www.youtube.com/@standupcomedyyourhostandmc/videosVideos of comics live on stage from back in the day.Please Write a Review: in-depth walk-through for leaving a review.Interested in Standup Comedy?

The “Ellington Strayhorn Nutcracker” from Jazz St Louis and St. Louis Dance Theatre will take audiences into the lives of Duke Ellington and LGBTQ composer Billy Strayhorn. Combining the holiday classic with a story set in 1960s St. Louis' Gaslight Square, the production represents “a love letter” to Strayhorn as an “unsung genius, who dared to live authentically in the face of adversity,” said choreographer Kirven Douthit-Boyd. Douthit-Boyd is joined by Jazz St. Louis CEO Victor Goines to discuss the importance of Strayhorn's legacy, and the enduring significance of Strayhorn and Ellington's 1960 album “The Nutcracker Suite.”

Welcome Kate! Welcome to Kate Jack from South Africa for a delightful conversation about Christmas in the summertime! From the most stunning wreaths of succulents to relaxing around a floating pool bar, this conversation just may have you booking tickets to the Southern Hemisphere for this Christmas!!! Best of all, Kate shares her aunt's recipe for Peppermint Crisp Pudding and we discuss at length a very new to me method of making caramel for this dessert as well as other traditional South African Christmas dishes. It's a fun one today, so welcome to Kate and to you as well!! Highlights Rainy Christmas days vs. Sunny Christmas days Spray on snow to bizarrely emulate decorations of the Northern Hemisphere The trend to Africanize Christmas decorations Succulent wreaths How Father Christmas can survive in the heat ;-) Low key Christmas dinner foods for hot days How to make caramel from sweetened condensed milk Listen to Kate Now Kate's Storied Recipe: Peppermint Crisp https://thestoriedrecipe.com/peppermint-crisp-tart Related Episodes Related Recipes Transcript Becky Hadeed Hello hey, how are you? Kate Jack I'm doing well. Thank you and. Becky Hadeed You, oh I'm great. Thank you so much for getting on with me. Kate Jack It's such a pleasure. I'm looking forward to this. Becky Hadeed Me too. So first I have to ask you. Is your last name Jack? Kate Jack That's correct, yes. Becky Hadeed So your name is Kate. Jack, yes, that's. Such a great name. Kate Jack I'm married into the name, but I'm grateful for it. Becky Hadeed Yeah, it's like you're like the female protagonist to a Tom Clancy novel. Kate Jack When someone heard my husband's name, she said, "It's like that's a brand name." [Laughter} Becky Hadeed That's so well said that's. True, yeah, and you're feeling better. Kate Jack Much better I might cough a little. But lingering a bit, but so much better, thanks. Becky Hadeed Oh, I'm so glad I'm so glad. OK, well then let's jump in and talk about Christmas and South Africa. So, so first of all, we know that Christmas in South Africa during the summer season feels a lot different than we experience it in the northern hemisphere, but to back up a little bit, I am curious how Big South Africa is and how many time zones does it cover - and does it cover a lot of different climate zones? Does it depend on what region you're in, what weather you experiencing at Christmas time? Or is it pretty much the same for South Africans across the country? Kate Jack OK, so we have one time zone but we kind of almost could be two time zones, but officially we only one. So that gives an idea of the size. We are all in the southern hemisphere and so while our climate varies a little bit - like the West of the country where I live has winter rainfall and the east of the country is summer rainfall and it can get a little bit more tropical. Towards the northern parts, especially the northeastern parts, and some areas are a bit dry and some like you know semi arid. But we all. We all experience the summer, the celebration of Christmas in the middle of summer. Becky Hadeed And how hot is it? Kate Jack So degrees in Celsius, so that varies around the country, so it could be. Around mid 20s to 30s. Yeah, uh. Becky Hadeed Hot enough to be in the pool under the summer sun? Kate Jack Yes, yes, so some Christmases we do. Becky Hadeed Amazing, amazing and I guess of course yeah, so I'm looking, yes that's very warm weather.... According to Google, 25 is 77 degrees Fahrenheit, and if it goes up to 35 Celsius, that's 95 degrees Fahrenheit. So it's definitely squarely in the summer time weather for sure. Kate Jack Thank you having time, yes. Becky Hadeed And it's and it's mostly dry. You can pretty much guarantee that it's not going to be a rainy Christmas Day,

M Aimee shares all about her Christmas memories in Indonesia, from security risks to piano battles with family. Also shares an Indonesian Christmas cookie made with gouda, coconut, and pandan.

Welcome Diana! This one is a little outside the mold for the Christmas Around the World series. You see, Diana's childhood, the culture she was raised in, and the Christmases she enjoyed weren't really defined by the places she lived, geographically. In fact, her family moved 22 times in 17 years. Rather, her experiences were mainly defined by the agricultural communities she and her family traveled between. Diana was raised in the Bruderhof, a global collection of self-sustaining farms where all members surrender their personal goods (yep, including Christmas presents) and accept roles for the greater good of the community. Although Diana ultimately chose to leave the Bruderhof community when she was 19, moving to NYC to work as a chef, she retains warm memories of some aspects of her rather unique childhood. Some of the best of these memories include Christmastime, which were full of German Christmas traditions like decorating simply with apples and candles, singing spiritual songs, and making classic bakes like these traditional British Mincemeat Pies she's shared with us. From the time Diana was in high school she spent increasingly more hours in the kitchen (which she truly loved, although it was very heard labor) preparing daily suppers for her communities of 400 people. Thrilled to welcome Diana to the Christmas Around the World series today - and thank YOU so much for being here. Highlights Vision of the Bruderhof: People who wanted to live together, share everything, wear flowers, and run through the fields. Why no members keep their jobs, titles, or possessions Why Diana lived in 5 countries but associates Christmas with Germany Bruderhof Christmas traditions: singing, simple gifts, communal nights, childlike, not gluttonous, simplicity Happy memories: Fairytale snowy Christmases outdoors in nature in Upstate New York  Rations of 1 cup of sugar per person per month Making sugar snow candy!!! Christmas presents in a community that doesn't believe in personal possessions School from 7am to 5pm, including working on the farm and in the kitchen Diana's exposure to food from seed to table. How much Diana loved cooking for 400 people as a teenager Diana's journey out of Bruderhof and how. Why there was no Christmas cooking/baking at home Which Christmas traditions Diana kept from the Bruderhof, and how her journey out of Bruderhof is reflected in her changing Christmas traditions German Lebkukken: Gingerbread cookies as ornaments > food. A special night 100 candles on the tree -  Each person lights a candle and says someone you're praying for. Angel chimes and the time Diana's pigtail caught on fire. Mincemeat pies!!! Diana's memories and lots of ways to make them.

In our conversation today, Alexandra who grew up near the oldest town in Norway, established in 898, shares absolutely delightful memories of ancient Norwegian Christmas traditions that she experienced both as a child and as a mother.

That was that's my favorite one so far. Becky Hadeed Ohh you know I hear that actually a lot and I was just thinking the other day, especially because my oldest is getting ready to graduate. I was thinking, I know we might need to do, you know one one last iteration of that? Alexandra Right? I think you should. That would be lovely. Becky Hadeed Well, thank you. Thank you so much for taking the time to come on and uh, for your kind words it means a lot. So can we just start by talking about this image of... What's the name of this this traditional wear?

Welcome Claire Marie! Today, I'm welcoming former guest Claire Marie back to the podcast. Claire Marie is raising 3 boys with her Irish husband in Ireland. However, Claire Marie is French and today she's sharing her very special memories of celebrating Christmases in the French Countryside as a very large, very Catholic, and not very wealthy family of 10. In addition to their private Christmas traditions, Claire Marie shares about the massive Christmas dinners in her grandmother's home, where she would visit with over 100 cousins – and where she watched her grandmother make a very special chocolate chestnut cake. This is an utterly delightful and charming episode full of smiles and great memories and some wisdom as well. Thanks for tuning in and Merry Christmas - Joyeux Noël! Highlights Long dark days and the magic of Christmas WHY? No Santa (Le Père Noël, in French) and very few presents Christmas in a large Catholic family Midnight mass Feasts! Christmas Eve Dinner, the traditional Christmas meal, and different desserts Shoes under the Christmas tree Celebrating with over 100 first cousins! Peeling chestnuts at her grandmother's beautiful wooden dining table for Chocolate Chestnut Cake Christmas in French households vs. Irish households (where Claire is raising her family) Provence – the Christmas town scene with Santons characters Claire's approach to the Advent calendar Christmas Day: “It's the contrary of running everywhere and doing all the things” Listen to Claire Now Listen to Claire Marie's Original Episode: 26 Tales in the French Countryside Claire Marie's Storied Recipe https://thestoriedrecipe.com/russeroles-bugnes-lyonnaises Related Episodes Related Recipes Partial Transcript Becky So if people have listened to your original episode, which I'm going to link to in the show notes, in case they haven't because it's delightful, it's delightful. Claire Marie Thanks in a while. Becky Uhm, remind everyone what region of France you grew up in?. Claire Marie So I moved a lot, but I always say I from the Loire Valley, so it's not necessarily the place most people know, like the South of France, but it's definitely a place people should know about. It's also the Valley of the Kings and every time I go back there's more to see that I haven't had time to see. It so very very French. Like in really, the sense of France is there. And so that's just the Loire Valley. It's kind of in the middle... France is is big but not as big as the US, but big enough for a European country. And so yeah, people don't necessarily know where. Becky It is, and it's one of the most picturesque, picturesque parts of France? Claire Marie Oh yes. Yeah, and it has the perfect climate or weather. And yeah, like it's cold in the winter, but it's warm in the summer and you always have like a nice fresh air. It's really really nice and I do love going back every summer. Becky So, paint us a picture. You said the weather was cold - it would be maybe snow? Paint us a picture of what it was like in December or at Christmas time in the Loire Valley or the Valley of the Kings? Claire Marie Huh, uhm, so it can go down like it's very cold. It is, I guess, all a matter of in relation to other countries, but like you definitely definitely have your gloves on and hats on and you would be hoping for the snow because we're quite far, we are very far from the mountains, so snow is never given and it would be like a rare treat if it snows right around Christmas. Like you, you know, you'd have probably couple of days of snow, but it could be anytime during the winter so I don't actually remember a white Christmas. Becky Never a white Christmas. Claire Marie I don't think we ever actually had a timely snow for Christmas, but it's definitely very, very cold. I especially remember going to school freezing in...

A private and deeply personal holiday tradition I've observed for over 20 years now - sharing with you.

In this episode, Robert and Lisa share fond memories and hilarious stories of the annual making of the Boiled Christmas Pudding hosted by Robert's mother and his Aunt Carol. If the holidays are a time for catching up with old friends, laughter, and taking a respite from the drudgery of every day life, this is the ultimate holiday episode. Between high school and college, I spent a gap year in Japan. There I met Robert, truly one of the funniest and fun-loving people I know. After that year, we stayed in touch as he met and married Lisa. They raise their family in Japan. Our families only see each other every 4 or 5 years. However, as you will hear, those times are as joyful and familiar as if we saw one another every day. Highlights A lot of laughter What is a Christmas Pudding anyway?? Memories of stirring the pudding for good luck Interpreting multiple versions of the same recipe More laughter 4 generations born in 4 different nations A non-food Christmas tradition from Robert's family that deeply affected me Listen Now to Robert & Lisa Related Episodes Related Recipes

Click here to learn more about The Handwritten Heritage Cookbook Starter Kit Welcome and Happy Thanksgiving!!! This is a very special episode of The Storied Recipe podcast! Rather than diving deep into one story, we're diving deep into one holiday - telling the story of Thanksgiving from the perspective of almost 30 families. I want to personally thank every single contributor for taking their time to make this episode for us. These vignettes, sometimes funny, often poignant, and so very relatable have cheered my Thanksgiving season and helped me slow down and remember, reflect, and above all choose gratitude this season. In fact, my original plan was to cram this episode in, almost as a bonus or extra episode, but the more I listened to your stories, the more I realized I wanted to lengthen this Thanksgiving season. We begin, surprisingly enough, not with an American, but with a Greek-Australian who reminds us that far, far from being a national holiday belonging to one or two countries, Thanksgiving is an ancient tradition. Practicing gratitude is a tenant, teaching, and calling of every religion, it is, in fact, a need of the human heart.  Listen to The Thanksgiving Episode Now!

11 - 29 - 23 THE NUMBER 1 HOLIDAY CLASSIC MOVIE by Maine's Coast 93.1

Keri and Tom from Snow Windows join us to spread some holiday cheer. It all started back in 2007 when one Christmas Eve Tom decided to surprise her with a snow scene on their kitchen window. Tom has always been artistic and thought of a new way to use regular snow spray to decorate. He sprayed it onto the window and brushed an image of a little house into the spray. And the rest, as they say, is holiday history. Keri and Tom share the joys of working together, the art of doing the art itself, why being nostalgic is a good thing and so much more merriness. Join us as we kick off the holiday season by skating across the pond to the UK to chat the good chat with our new friends at Snow Windows. Looking for the prefect holiday gift?
