(The Defecating Christmas Goblins of Greece) *** The ghost of Mary, Queen of Scots makes her presence known on Christmas Eve, 1900… or does she? (The Tower of London's Christmas Eve Ghost) *** A serving of poisoned Christmas pie causes the death of Captain David Paye on Christmas day, 1882. But who had a motive? (A Christmas Poisoning) *** People worldwide have been celebrating Christmas for hundreds and hundreds of years – but not all of those years were joyous for everyone. For example, those who happened to be black living in America while slavery was still legal. What was Christmas like for them? (Christmas As a Slave In America) *** In that song, “It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” there is the line “there will be scary ghost stories”… why on earth would a Christmas song have a line like that? We'll look at that song – and other Christmas songs – that are a lot darker than you might know. (The Darker Side of Christmas Carols) *** We're all familiar with the classic Christmas ghost tale, “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens – but before that novel, there was another ghost story of Christmas, a purportedly true story. (A Ghost Story of Christmas) *** In 1897, Dr. Philip O'Hanlon was asked by his young daughter whether Santa Claus was real. His suggestion for her to find an answer has resulted in something so famous, it has practically become a meme. (Yes, Virginia, There Is a Santa Claus) *** December 16, 1965… Gemini 6 and 7 have just completed the first ever manned rendezvous between spacecraft, making history. But they were about to achieve another first in space exploration… and a first for Christmas!

Matt Bair and Ryan Hedrick talk about how tough the holidays can be when you’re in recovery. They share three tips to help you get through it: dealing with the hurt of not being invited when "The Invitation May Not Be Coming," staying sober by setting boundaries because "Somebody Is Going to Chip You," and finding ways to enjoy the season, even if things look different, because "It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year." With real talk and straightforward advice, this episode helps you navigate Christmas while keeping your recovery on track. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Many songs we sing at Christmas are reminders that Christmastime is supposed to be happy. Songs like "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year," "Have a Holly Jolly Christmas," "Jingle Bells," and "Walking in a Winter Wonderland" all communicate that Christmas time is to be a joyous, trouble-free season. But as we talked about last week, for some of you, personal problems may be keeping you from experiencing the joy of the season. Today, we look at what we can do this Christmas to avoid disillusionment. How we can improve our level of joy this Christmas. The answer is found in the story of the magi. #fsbcsermon #fsbccoalinga Contact us at TheWordInfusion@gmail.com with your comments, questions or praises.  Let us know how our podcast has blessed, encouraged or helped you.  Join us on our Facebook pages at http://www.facebook.com/fsbccoalinga & http://www.facebook.com/..  Help us to grow a community that infuses the Word of God into their lives each day.  Follow us on Twitter @TheWordInfusion or @fsbccoalinga .  To support this ministry click on: https://app.easytithe.com/app/giving/fsbccoalinga  or copy and paste it into your web browser.

With the holidays well underway, some of us may be feeling pressure to enjoy “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year” when the spirit of the season just isn't grabbing us. Or maybe it has, but the hustle and bustle is overwhelming and leaves us experiencing some less-than-jolly emotions. To help us navigate the holidays, if not joyfully then at least healthfully, we asked Dr. Karinn Glover, an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, to join us for this month's episode. Dr. Glover helps us explore why the season stirs up so many conflicting feelings – and shares self-care strategies we can use to rediscover some of that comfort and joy we all deserve.   The Takeaway Visit the Healthy Minds section of our Healthy Living Resource Center for additional information and resources: 1199SEIUBenefits.org/healthyminds/ Find a mental health therapist through the Benefit Funds' Provider Directory: 1199SEIUBenefits.org/find-a-provider.

(The Defecating Christmas Goblins of Greece) *** The ghost of Mary, Queen of Scots makes her presence known on Christmas Eve, 1900… or does she? (The Tower of London's Christmas Eve Ghost) *** A serving of poisoned Christmas pie causes the death of Captain David Paye on Christmas day, 1882. But who had a motive? (A Christmas Poisoning) *** People worldwide have been celebrating Christmas for hundreds and hundreds of years – but not all of those years were joyous for everyone. For example, those who happened to be black living in America while slavery was still legal. What was Christmas like for them? (Christmas As a Slave In America) *** In that song, “It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” there is the line “there will be scary ghost stories”… why on earth would a Christmas song have a line like that? We'll look at that song – and other Christmas songs – that are a lot darker than you might know. (The Darker Side of Christmas Carols) *** We're all familiar with the classic Christmas ghost tale, “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens – but before that novel, there was another ghost story of Christmas, a purportedly true story. (A Ghost Story of Christmas) *** In 1897, Dr. Philip O'Hanlon was asked by his young daughter whether Santa Claus was real. His suggestion for her to find an answer has resulted in something so famous, it has practically become a meme. (Yes, Virginia, There Is a Santa Claus) *** December 16, 1965… Gemini 6 and 7 have just completed the first ever manned rendezvous between spacecraft, making history.

Our first guest for season two is YourMom™'s biggest fan: Kate Rooney, a sports anchor for KRON4 in San Francisco and mom of two adorable kiddos: Harlow and Brady. Kate and Ashley forged a tight bond over a decade ago during the launch of the Pac-12 Network. While Kate's sports broadcasting career might have begun because of a hiring mix-up (full story on the pod), she's proven that she's a formidable talent in the field. As the host of the weekly 49ers show, “The Red and Gold Zone,” she frequently interviews Christian and was able to confirm Lisa's allegation that he is, in fact, “a huge nerd.” Brimming with humor and heart, our conversation with Kate touches on a wide range of topics, from the fellowship of women in the sports industry to breast-pumping in the Niners' media room to the best karaoke song for any occasion. Come for the football scoop and stay for Kate's Bing Crosby inspired rendition of “It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year.” Thanks as always for listening, please subscribe wherever you get your podcasts!Questions, comments or feedback?

Before starting at KRON4, she worked for a variety of outlets including Pac-12 Network, Comcast Hometown Network, and Spectrum Sports Network. She is a karaoke savant.

This episode is a recast from 2022, aired at the same time of year last year. You guys loved it then, and I loved it too! It was such a fun episode to record. I just finished listening to the whole thing on a walk before I re-recorded the intro. I decided to re-air it because it's as relevant now as it was a year ago. Let's talk about what this episode is and then dive right into it. Today's episode is a fun friend-to-friend chat about Christmas, and I am certainly bringing the Christmas ENERGY in this episode. I'm totally a “Christmas person” and I start getting excited about Christmas in July typically (not kidding). But, let's talk about the elephant in the room…  Resting and actually taking time off for the holidays doesn't always come easy as business owners.  There's often a lot to do to “close out the year” and at the same time you're ready to dream about the next year in your business, PLUS you have the everyday to do's of life to keep up with. You also might be listening to this right after Black Friday which can be really exhausting as a business owner. Resting and slowing down can feel really hard.   That's what we're talking about today. I'm sharing with you:  1. My time-off and rest strategy for Christmas that I do basically every year, and how you can do this yourself as well! (We're talking PRACTICAL planning here!)  2. Holiday bucket list ideas for you to do to strengthen your faith and enjoy the month of December, even in its chaos.  3. Tradition ideas – I was a NEW mom when this first aired, and even still I don't have tons of traditions to share for with kiddos. But, I am sharing some traditions you could try with your spouse that we do and some family tradition ideas I love!  4. I'm sharing Advent resources, books, other podcast episodes, and things I think will help you out as you plan your own holiday season.    So, that is our agenda. This is a GOOD EPISODE, if you often tell me that you wish I did more personal content – this is it. I'm excited to chat. Go get a peppermint mocha, a sugar cookie latte, or some wine and let's dive into it!    Lots of links mentioned today that you can find below: Get the full shownotes: https://elizabethmccravy.com/244  Shop website templates: https://elizabethmccravy.com/shop  Starting a Podcast?
