Christmas Eve – December 24, 2025; May God's words be spoken, may God's words be heard. Amen. This is the most wonderful time of the year, or so we are told by Johnny Mathis and others. It really is though, even if the turkey didn't thaw out in time, the kids are hyped up on sugar and dreams of Santa Claus, and the in-laws are about to send you to a therapist's couch. Yet sometimes when we think about Christmas, we get caught up in the Hallmark version of it – the lights, the carols, the cookies, and the gifts, that when we hear the story of that first Christmas, whether here at church or from Linus in A Charlie Brown Christmas, it seems so far away from who we are that we lose sight of what it means for us. But the thing is, this story isn't as foreign to our lived reality as we sometimes make it – and that knowledge helps us to see something we need to know now. The author of Luke, from where Linus and we get the birth story we usually hear on Christmas Eve, sets the scene for us in the midst of human history – it was when a certain ruler was in charge and had commanded a census of “all the world.” Now, just for context, things were difficult in those days – they were indeed a people who walked in darkness (though the prophet Isaiah was speaking about an earlier time). The empire's taxes were hard, and most labored for their own food. Poverty was crushing most of the people, while a small elite profited off of them and lived lavishly. And there was political unrest caused by an appointed ruler, Herod, a larger than life sort, who the people viewed with suspicion because of his ties to the empire. This is the setting into which God chooses to enter, and there is a lot we can all resonate with in it to be sure – but more on that later. Back to the story itself – this census moves Mary and Joseph from Nazareth to Bethlehem, a journey of nearly 100 miles (with no trains, planes, or automobiles to get them there). It also likely meant a lot of others were making similar journeys, so as the song goes – there may be No Place Like Home for the holidays, but the traffic really is terrific! And then there is the problem of trying to find places to stay along the way. I have to wonder if Joseph and Mary made their place in Nazareth an Air B&B, given all the folks traveling in the opposite direction. At any rate, all that travel must sound familiar to a lot of folks today who stood in long TSA lines, navigated bumper to bumper traffic, or was trying to figure out where to put everybody who made it home for the holidays. Add to all of that is the fact that Mary is very pregnant! Lordy – that's gotta be a tough trip. So, back to our Holy Family – they get to Bethlehem, and there is “no room for them in the inn.” Now, that may mean Joe forgot to make reservations (you know that meant a big argument later – right?). But it wasn't like they had to go to a barn somewhere on the property. Likely, because other guests already took over the host family's guest rooms, it was sort of like telling them they had to sleep on the old lumpy sofa in the unfinished basement. Homes in those days had a lower level where animals were brought in for the night and in cold weather. That is where the host family had to send Mary and Joseph. If you can imagine that for a moment – it means the house was filled with people – all there for the census taking one supposes. That is a made for Hallmark crazy time moment for sure, that many of you here likely know far too well. And for this couple, who already had a lot going on, sleeping among the animals may have been the most peaceful part of their days – a respite from upstairs where perhaps Joe's crazy Uncle Roy was getting into it with Grandma Lucy, who had a bit too much eggnog. At least the animals aren't likely to break out into a fight over politics. From the animals point of view though, this was a nightmare. I mean, first this couple comes down, takes over two of their beds of hay, and dang it – then they have a baby (what a noisy mess) and worse – they put that little human on their food in their manger – yuk! The animals were probably like – What the heck! And as for the birth, you know that was crazy time at the OK Corral. Women upstairs likely came down to help, making things a bit crowded; and birth scenes, even for the virtuous like Mary, are typically not quiet events, despite what the hymn says. Giving birth then, and even today is joyous and noisy. Sadly, it is also dangerous – for both the mother and the child. And after all that – shepherds arrive to tell them that angels appeared in the sky and confirming what the angel had said to Mary at the beginning of this journey. No wonder she pondered it all in her heart – before nodding off for a much needed nap. What a wild family story this probably became over the years, right? I mean, can you imagine on the 10th Christmas, somebody saying – Hey Joe and Mary, remember that crazy year of the census? And them saying back “Lordy what a time that was” as Joe grabs another eggnog and Mary chases Jesus and his siblings away from the presents. Seriously though – that was the Luke story. Filled with very human stress, joy, and a bit of craziness – and all wrapped up in love. The Matthew story was much less chaotic, but far more dangerous. Mary was pregnant, but she and Joseph were engaged, not married – which in those days, and in some parts of the world today – means danger for Mary and her unborn child. In a dream, Joseph is told by an angel not to discard her, but to marry her as planned. After the baby is born, a few wise people from the East come to their house (with very impractical and odd gifts). Then, Joseph has another dream where an angel tells him that King Herod is out to kill Jesus. So ,the Holy Family become refugees. They flee the danger in their homeland, cross over the border into Egypt, and stay there until Herod dies. Thankfully for most, this story in Matthew is not as familiar to their Christmas gatherings as the one in the Gospel of Luke. But it is to many in this country now, who fled from danger in their home countries, often with children and just the clothes on their backs, to come here for safety. To them, this flight to Egypt is very familiar. So, if we really take in the story we celebrate tonight we may just find a place for ourselves in its familiarity. Sure, we don't ride donkeys generally (although how cool would that be – well, except not from the donkey's perspective, I suppose). We don't trudge for miles on all dirt roads (even if in NJ it feels that way), have farm animals on the first floor of our house, or have to travel for our government census (they kinda frown on that). And we don't typically see choirs of angels singing, have shepherds coming over with strange news, people bearing odd gifts knocking on our door, or an awe inspiring astrological phenomenon shining in the sky above (which I can guarantee meant that it was cloudy over New Jersey that first Christmas night, as it always is when there is something cool to see). No, we don't have any of that on our Christmas to do or see list, but then again, it is not those things that matter anyway. What makes this birth we celebrate so important to remember is the rest of it. God chose to enter into the world through relationships of love – the love of parents for their newborn child, of a young couple starting their life together, of family, friends, and neighbors gathering in likely too small a space but somehow making it work. This birth, that changed the world forever, begins among family relationships that are messy and wonderful all at the same time, and amid moments when we feel exhausted or lonely even in a crowd (as it must have felt for Mary, Joseph, or the shepherds sometimes). It is in the mundane, the mess, the fear, the joy, the hurt, and the longing – the ever day ordinariness and sometimes craziness of human existence – that God comes – choosing to connect heaven and earth in the form of a vulnerable baby, born to world weary parents, in a humble setting, amid a chaotic family gathering, to a people who walked in darkness. Today we too are a people who walk in darkness – the deep night of bigotry and hate, oppressive governmental leaders, marginalized people, poverty and loneliness, violence and war. And here's the thing, we who live in a land of deep darkness, need to remember most of all this night – Jesus is being born now too, and we have a part to play in that birth. Long ago, God chose Mary because God knew she had the courage to say Yes to that call, the faith to trust the Holy Spirit even when things got crazy, and the will to bring Jesus into a world in need. And God chooses us to do the same now. You, and you, and you, all you-all, are not spectators this night. You are a part of the story. The story that is happening now. You are the one God now calls to bring the light of Christ's love into the darkness. You are the one that needs to trust the Holy Spirit amid the insanity of this time and place. You may not see angels flying around in the sky, or shepherds knocking at your door in the middle of the night, but you are meant to be a part of this story nonetheless. You are meant to be Mary – bearers of Christ to those who walk in darkness. We all are. And perhaps Mary's need to ponder all of it in her heart makes a lot more sense to us now. It is a lot to think about – more than whether the tie you got for your dad was a good idea or not. Because while the gifts we give at Christmas will someday be put away and forgotten, this gift – to be Mary – to carry Christ's light within us, give birth to his love for the sake of others, nurture him in the world – it is the gift of a lifetime – and the call we all have. And perhaps like her, we may be wondering: Why me? Why would God come into this crazy world at this time and place? Will I be able to do what God is asking me to do, and will it really matter? And when you need to ponder that, come here among your parish family, where you will be given what you need for your life journey, just as Mary was so long ago. Remember that when she became pregnant as the Archangel Gabriel told her, she traveled to her cousin Elizabeth, who affirmed her call. Here is where you too can take a moment from the busy-ness of the world to come among family and be affirmed about your life and in your call. The story of Christmas – of the birth of Jesus – is our story – of God active in our lives and in the world. It reminds us that mystery and wonder abounds even in chaos, that healing and restoration come with humility and grace, that God's great love appears in the most unexpected ways, and bursts into our ordinary lives to bring freedom and justice for the oppressed, and to proclaim for all to hear that everyone is a beloved child of God – no exceptions. And perhaps most especially, that God chooses us to help bring this all about. God chooses us to be Mary – bearers of Christ into the world. So let us all have a Mary Christmas! M-A-R-Y and the other kind too. For then we may one day truly see peace on earth, and good will for all. Merry Christmas Everyone!

Join the Free Kickstart ChallengeSummaryIn this episode of the Football Insights Academy podcast, Tom Butterfield and David Bromley discuss the complexities of football recruitment, emphasising the importance of structured decision-making processes. They explore the challenges faced by recruitment departments, the significance of understanding player roles, and the necessity of a systematic approach to evaluating potential signings. The conversation also highlights the role of modern tools and data in enhancing recruitment strategies while maintaining a focus on human judgment and context.TakeawaysRecruitment decisions often lack a shared order of operations.Tools amplify existing processes but don't replace expertise.Understanding player roles is crucial for effective recruitment.Context matters in evaluating player performance.Availability is a key factor in player recruitment.The recruitment decision stack helps structure decision-making.Risk evaluation should be integrated into the recruitment process.Pre-mortem analysis can uncover hidden assumptions.Good recruitment is about repeatable reasoning and clear inputs.The order of recruitment steps significantly impacts outcomes.Merry Christmas Everyone!!

Welcome to a special festive episode of Back to Now. We first revisited Now - The Christmas Album in 2020. You remember 2020, don't you? It was a Christmas that needed some light to overpower some rather dark shades.We did a track by track commentary. We shared thoughts on the classic Christmas songs. The sequencing, the rediscoveries. We shared personal - often emotional - memories. And of course there were plenty of interesting facts and anecdotes.And now in 2025, this iconic Christmas collection is 40 years old. So what better time to revisit and celebrate this classic album, that has not only stood the test of time, it has gone on to shape our seasonal listening and an ever increasing selection of compilation perennial presents!And joining me, is the guest from that first Christmas episode, it's the ghost of Christmas past, present and quite probably future - pop music's very own Ian Wade!Like a carefully mulled fine wine, NOW's commitment to Christmas has matured and developed wonderfully into a new set of albums - CDs, coloured vinyl and SLEEVENOTES! The team have sprinkled festive cheer over this iconic branch of the world famous compilation series and reset it back in the canon of Christmas, exactly where it should be.So, not a retread of the first 1985 album. Consider this your special bonus disc.This new episode for 2025 is more a new pair of winter boots, an updated wintry landscape to explore, some new party guests to invite in and share an eggnog with. A festive bonus cracker, an extra chocolate in the Quality Street box, an undiscovered Christmas episode of Top of the pops on the iPlayer!Grab yourself a festive refreshment then and join us we discuss a smorgasbord of Christmas musical delights. How the albums have evolved over the years, what is Christmas adjacent, Cher, sleeper track legacy, George Thorogood (!), The HITS Christmas album that never was, the emotional pull of certain songs and the hope of what a Jesus & Mary Chain Christmas album could sound like (yes, really!)Merry Christmas Everyone.And Thank You.

This week, Thom and Anthony dive deep into five more uproarious Family Guy Christmas episodes, from Dickensian parodies to Meg's mall-Santa trauma and Lois's Grinch-worthy meltdowns.

Inside this episode:
International Women's Day is right around the corner, and in this episode, women are taking the mic! Uh, a few women, anyway. Performing a pretty specific sub-category of songs. And they are all from the same one country. Regardless!! First, by request, we listen to "Merry Christmas Everybody", a cover of Slade's Christmas hit performed by Sohodolls. We pair it with another woman vocalist covering another UK Christmas #1 song, "Merry Christmas Everyone" performed by Rae Morris and Lucy Rose. The ranking music in this episode is "Punk Rock Christmas" as performed by Majorettes. Thank you to CJ for requesting "Merry Christmas Everybody" by Sohodolls!

Merry Christmas Everyone! Christ is born! God became man! On today's show I am joined by my friend jon Goodwin of Gasport, NY and we are having our deer season wrap-up show. While we each have a week left, we wanted to go ahead and get this show done and share with the audience our experiences out of state and in state this seasonb. Both of us have had a good year in regards to successful hunts. But not without some nail-biting moments and mistakes along the way.

Update and Announcements You Don't Want to Miss!! Transcription: Merry Christmas, friends!! You may notice a full episode is not going live this week. I wanted to update you that we are taking our two week, end of the year break and we look forward to resuming podcasts every Monday in the new year, beginning January 6th. And one piece of our super exciting news is that we are going to soon not only be an audio only podcast, but we will also be offering video! You can watch these episodes on YouTube, beginning January 27th. I have three additional announcements I want to make: First, I want you to be the first to know we have a new website! You may remember Francie Hinrichsen from Episode 132 where we talked about pursuing our God-Given Dreams. She is the amazing business woman who has carefully designed a brand new website for Savvy Sauce Charities and we are thrilled with the final product, so I hope you check it out!! You can find a scrapbook of previous guests, show notes, articles and more. My second and third announcements are related to the website. One new thing you will find on our website is a transcription of every episode! Some guests have reached out to say they want to read the conversations, take notes on what was said, or in some cases, their spouse wants to glean all the goodness from each episode, but they prefer reading rather than listening. We heard you and we responded by making these transcripts available, free of charge to you! And speaking of free of charge, I want to share an announcement about the financial side of The Savvy Sauce Charities. As you know, we recently became a non-profit, which means all your financial support is now tax-deductible! There are multiple ways to give, and we would be so honored if you would share your financial support with us so that we can continue producing free content that is accessible to the general public. Your money will go to support: Creatively getting the Gospel message of Jesus Christ to the nations as we continue to share the good news on every episode. I say this is reaching the nations because The Savvy Sauce podcast is downloaded in all 50 United States and well over 100 countries around the world. Your financial support also supports practical needs, such as: Aiding our team to continue producing helpful content that is practical, uplifting, and always pointing to Jesus. Your financial support furthermore will help us: Continue to expand our reach and secure future projects we have planned for this ministry. If your ears are hearing this message, I am specifically asking you to give . . . we are so grateful for any amount and our team will continue to seek to be good stewards of the gifts offered to us. If you want to write a check or set up an ongoing payment with your bank that delivers a check to us each month, this is the most beneficial way to give because no percentages are taken out for processing fees. You can make your check out to Savvy Sauce Charities at P.O. Box 101 Roanoke, IL 61561. Additionally, with our new website, we now have a donate button! There are processing fees that we cover for these donations, but we wanted to offer listeners a seamless way to share their finances with us when we share our content with them. So just visit thesavvysauce.com and find the donate page under the tab support. Another way to find it is simply type in donate to the search bar on the website and click the first picture shown. We are all about sharing around here: Sharing resources, Sharing Joy, and sharing the good news about Jesus Christ! We ask that you also will share by sharing financially, sharing The Savvy Sauce episodes, and sharing a five-star rating and review! Thanks for listening and I can't wait to be return on January 6th and begin sharing all these amazing guests we have in store for you. Until then, I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas as we celebrate God with us! Merry Christmas Everyone and Happy New Year! Gospel Scripture: (all NIV) Romans 3:23 “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,” Romans 3:24 “and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.” Romans 3:25 (a) “God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood.” Hebrews 9:22 (b) “without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.” Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:11 “Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.” John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” Romans 10:9 “That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” Luke 15:10 says “In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” Romans 8:1 “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” Ephesians 1:13–14 “And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession- to the praise of his glory.” Ephesians 1:15–23 “For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.” Ephesians 2:8–10 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God‘s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.“ Ephesians 2:13 “But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.“ Philippians 1:6 “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”
