In Germany, Christmas really glitters! In fact many of the traditions we associate with the festive season in Britain, the US and around the world come to us via Germany. The Christmas Tree, Santa Claus, Advent Calendars, nutcrackers, toys, Christmas Markets and a cornucopia of Christmas confections had roots in Deutschland. Much of this cultural exchange comes from the tight familial bonds between the British and German royal families. So curl up by the Tannenbaum with a plate of Weihnachtsplätzchen (Christmas cookies), and a mug of Glühwein or Kinderpunsch (mulled wine with or without the alcohol). And together let's explore the history of German Christmas traditions and visit the royal neues palais on December 24th, 1907 for a spectacularly festive meal with Kaiser Wilhelm and his family. Christmas trees, Tannenbaum, Christmas ornaments Santa Clause, Saint Nicholas, Christkind Nutcrackers, wooden toys Christmas Markets Christmas food and drink (cookies) Kaiser Wilhelm II's Christmas Eve Menu, 1907 Join me every Tuesday when I'm Spilling the Tea on History!

Who actually goes to Times Square for New Years Eve? The Morning Show debates which holiday traditions are the most overrated and what the Best Blunders on WIP were this year.

As the holiday season sweeps through the Valley, host of The Valley Today, Janet Michael invites listeners to step into the warmth of community traditions in a special episode. This festive conversation, woven from interviews with local leaders, business owners, and community members, offers a delightful tapestry of Christmas customs, heartfelt memories, and a few friendly debates. The Great Tree Debate: Real or Artificial? The episode opens with a question that sparks instant nostalgia: Are you a real Christmas tree person or do you prefer artificial? Krista Shifflett of the Warren Coalition confesses her lifelong love for real trees, though practicality has recently nudged her toward artificial options. Similarly, Celeste Brooks shares that allergies in her family have made artificial trees a necessity, while others, like Les Sinclair of the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank, opt for convenience over tradition. The conversation reveals that, for many, the choice between real and artificial is shaped by family needs, safety, and even the presence of pets. Decking the Halls: Timing and Traditions Transitioning from tree types to timing, Janet asks her guests when they put up and take down their decorations. Some, like Robyn Miller of WATTS, stick to the classic post-Thanksgiving setup, while others, such as Victoria Armstrong Kidd of the Hideaway Cafe, admit to keeping their trees up well into February. The reasons vary—busy schedules, a love for the festive glow, or simply not wanting to let go of the season's magic. Gift-Giving Rituals: Wrapping, Bagging, and the Art of Shopping No holiday conversation is complete without discussing gifts. The guests reveal a spectrum of shopping habits, from early planners who finish by Thanksgiving to last-minute dashers picking up presents on Christmas Eve. The art of wrapping also comes under the spotlight, with some guests proudly identifying as "wrappers" who cherish the ritual, while others embrace the practicality of gift bags—especially when time is short or the recipient is a pet with a penchant for unwrapping. Christmas Eve vs. Christmas Morning: When to Open Gifts? Another beloved tradition—when to open gifts—elicits a variety of responses. Some families uphold the anticipation of Christmas morning, while others allow a sneak peek on Christmas Eve, often in the form of a single present or a special family ritual. These small differences highlight the unique ways each household creates its own holiday magic. A Patchwork of Community Spirit Throughout the episode, Janet's guests share more than just their traditions; they offer a glimpse into the values that bind the Valley community. Whether it's the joy of decorating multiple trees, the chaos of wrapping gifts at the last minute, or the comfort of gathering with loved ones, these stories remind us that the heart of the holidays lies in togetherness and shared memories. Conclusion: Celebrating What Matters Most As the conversation draws to a close, Janet encourages listeners to reflect on their own traditions and perhaps borrow a few new ideas from her guests. In a season often marked by hustle and bustle, this episode serves as a gentle reminder to savor the moments, embrace the quirks, and celebrate the connections that make the holidays truly special in the Valley.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS, COMMUNITEA!  Auntea Kerel and Auntea Jerrell hold down the fort while Auntea Dawon battles the world's worst Airbnb Wi-Fi. We're kicking things off with a therapy session on "Holiday Late-ness"—is the 5-minute grace period real, or was your dad a "if you aren't an hour early, you're late" kind of man? We also dive into the dark side of the season: Retail Trauma. We talk about why hearing All I Want For Christmas Is You for the 500th time in a shift is a trigger, and why we all owe Jesus a 20-year-overdue apology for the lies we told to skip Bible study. Plus, the Aunteas go head-to-head in their Holiday Music Bracket 2025, debating which Christmas song truly deserves the crown.

Musician Sean Griffin (The Ruffians) is our guest to ring in the holidays by talking about Henry Selick's The Nightmare Before Christmas on Soundtrack Your Life! Sean has just released the Christmas song, "I'm in Love for Christmas", so he's the perfect guest for our holiday episode! Obviously, if we're talking The Nightmare before Christmas, we're talking about Danny Elfman, who composed the score, wrote the songs, and is the singing voice of Jack Skellington. We also talk about Catherine O'Hara as Sally, and how she's an underrated singer (we covered her singing on our A Mighty Wind episode a couple of months ago). We also chat about Christmas traditions, and our favorite Christmas specials and songs.

The holidays are here, and in this episode we're talking all things gifting men and the traditions that come with the season. From what actually makes a good gift for men to the rituals we carry year after year, the fellas keep it real with laughs and honest takes. Along the way, we somehow end up figuring out what a toboggan really is, break down Warner Brothers' latest acquisition, and talk about the importance of checking on your friends during the holidays, because this season isn't joyful for everyone. It's festive, funny, and grounded in real connection—just the kind of conversation you need this time of year.

As winter holidays like Christmas, Hanukkah and the solstice bring light into the darkest time of year, we're taking a closer look at the plants tied to those traditions — beyond poinsettias and Christmas trees.

This week, we're celebrating the holidays by looking beyond, into global stories that shape the season. First, we talk with Hetty Lui McKinnon about her new book, Linger: Salads, Sweets and Stories to Savor, and what the holidays look like in Australia, where Christmas is hot and the seafood markets buzz at midnight. Hetty reflects on the vegetable forward meals that defined her Chinese Australian upbringing and leaves us with her recipe for Coronation Cauliflower and Chickpeas. Then, we turn to writer Yasmin Khan for a deeper look at Yalda Night, the Persian winter solstice celebration that reminds us of the return of the sun, after the longest night of the year. Her latest cookbook, Sabzi: Vibrant Vegetarian Recipes, explores vibrant vegetarian cooking rooted in Persian culture. Yasmin shares how Yalda brings people together through poetry, pomegranates, and seasonal comforts, and leaves us with her recipe for Eggplant Fesenjan.Broadcast dates for this episode: December 19, 2025 (originally aired)Subscribe to @TheSplendidTable on YouTube for full podcast episodes and full-length video interviews!Generous listeners like you make The Splendid Table possible.

Hanukkah, Christmas, and New Years may be celebrated around the world, but how they look and feel can be completely different. From snow and darkness to sunshine and summer evenings, culture and landscape shape the season in powerful ways. This year, I'm chatting about holiday traditions with our partners in Chile and Iceland, Mauricio Vergara and Erling Aspelund. Two countries often described as lands of fire and ice, in opposite hemispheres, celebrating the same holidays in very different ways. We talk about family traditions, food, lights, Santas, bonfires, and New Years rituals, plus what it's really like to experience Christmas and New Years as a traveler in each destination.
