Hey Scaredy Cats. There's a line in the song It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year that goes “there'll be scary ghost stories and tales of the glories of Christmases long long ago” It may seem odd to us now, but telling spooky stories at Christmas was a tradition that saw its peak during the Victorian era in Great Britain. The most famous example is probably A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, but many writers in the late 19th and early 20th century published ghost stories that would be read around a fire as the nights grew longer and colder. So why ghost stories? Christmas is supposed to be festive and joyful, right? Take into consideration that Christmas is inextricably tied with pagan traditions that marked the winter solstice. Pagans believed that the winter solstice was when the veil between the living and dead was at its thinnest. Yule has been linked to The Wild Hunt, a ghostly procession in the sky and increased supernatural activity. So, what did folks do when the nights were long and cold and they didn't have a whole lot of other diversions? They would tell spooky stories by the fire, some of which were passed down orally. With the Industrial Revolution, these stories could now be printed and stories like A Christmas Carol became popular in periodicals and books. The trend may not have caught on in North America, but as someone who wants to consume spooky things all year round, it's a tradition that I've embraced over the past few years. And now, I'd like to share some of these stories with you. For the seven days leading up to Christmas, we'll be releasing one story a day. Who knows, we might even have some special guests on to read a story or two! Part One: Smee by A.M.

And the Whos would start singing!  They'd sing! And they'd sing! AND they'd SING! SING! SING! SING! And the more the Grinch thought of this Who-Christmas-Sing,  The more the Grinch thought, “I must stop this whole thing! “Why for fifty-three years I've put up with it now! “I MUST stop this Christmas from coming! …But HOW?”  And the Grinch grabbed the tree, and he started to shove When he heard a small sound like the coo of a dove. He turned around fast, and he saw a small Who! Little Cindy-Lou Who, who not more than two.   The Grinch had been caught by this tiny Who daughter Who'd got out of bed for a cup of cold water. She stared at the Grinch and said, “Santy Claus, why, “Why are you taking our Christmas tree? WHY?”  And the Grinch, with his grinch-feet ice-cold in the snow,  Stood puzzling and puzzling: “How could it be so? “It came without packages, boxes or bags!” And he puzzled three hours, till his puzzler was sore.  Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before! “Maybe Christmas,” he thought, “doesn't come from a store. “Maybe Christmas…perhaps…means a little bit more!”  And what happened then…? Well…in Who-ville they say That the Girnch's small heart Grew three sizes that day! And the minute his heart didn't feel quite so tight,  He whizzed with his load through the bright morning light And he brought back the toys! And the food for the feast! And he… …HE HIMSELF…! The Grinch carved the roast beast!  *Instrumental You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch finishes*  Jenny: Here's our Letter to Santa. *Letter to Santa with background music featuring bells plays* (Target words underlined) Nanako: Dear Santa, Hey! My name is Michael Hinckley, and I am writing to you with my friends Chuy and PJ. Come to my house! It would make me happy. I know you, Mrs. Claus, and the elves work very hard. I will listen out for you when you say, “Ho ho ho” (three ho's).

In the "Most Wonderful Time of the Year," many of us can feel incredibly alone. ❄️ Family, togetherness, and love are the highlights of the season that can bring a swell of difficult emotions for the single, separated, and divorced.  Going through these challenging, yearly holiday episodes myself, I invite you to think about this shift. Instead of saying, "Oh, I'm just a single person now," Ask: "What new and amazing experience can I get to create this year?"  ▶️ Feeling Lonely During the Holidays After Divorce ✔️ Don't choose to be lonely this time of year.   A couple of years ago, when I was newly divorced, I always wondered to myself: Who would I ever travel with? My parents are not fond of going around, while all my married friends cannot leave on a whim when they have to take care of the kids. Travelling is my passion, but I dreaded the thought of being by myself.  ✔️ Fulfill your travel dreams post-divorce. The holidays are the perfect time to go on that short trip or grand adventure you've long been postponing. It's time to follow the joy of experiencing new places and reconnect with yourself. When I finally took the courage to travel solo and convince myself to leave the children for a while, I discovered that it was the best decision I had ever made for me. Going alone made me focus on myself, experience new adventures, and find fresh perspectives in another place with other people.  ✔️ You can bring back "happy" in the holidays without your ex.  I just knew that ticking off a bucket list solo travel was something that I wanted to do. I finally made Egypt happen! ✨

Join us for the second week of our Christmas series, "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!" Pastor Brian takes some time to share about the darkness that is guaranteed in the prophesy that Isaiah writes about, but then the promise of light that we can find our hope in this season! 

You know that line in "Most Wonderful Time of the Year" about scary ghost stories?  It turns out telling ghost stories around a fire used to be a big part of how people celebrated Christmas. In other news, tattooing your eyeball might sound like a good idea, but IS it?

Scott Coulter, Artistic Director of the Pocono Mountains Music Festival, speaking about the 2022 Holiday Concert, "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year," featuring the Pocono Pops! & the Pocono Pops!

On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we were taken behind the curtain of one woman’s journey of grief, loss and hope as she shared the moving story of the death of her 13 year old son and powerful ways that God met her and her family during their time of need. The call it “The Most Wonderful Time of The Year” but when it comes to interacting with relatives during the holidays it could also be called the most stressful time as well. We had the pleasure of getting some great practical guidance on handling holiday stress in a winsome and Christ honoring way. New data shows that in 2020 the number of abortions increased in the U.S. including the use of chemical abortions reminding us all that the fight for the pre-born is far from over.  Taking their lives into their own hands students, especially women, across Iran continue to flood the streets demanding an end to the tyrannical rule that led the death of a young woman in the custody of that nation’s morality police. In the midst of this turmoil we heard from a man that God has called to minister to the Iranian people, how through the use of technology the gospel’s message of love and hope is drawing more and more people to the saving knowledge of Christ. COVID lockdown protests in China have once again exposed the dictatorial control the nation wields over its people. Our expert, a respected authority on international security, continued his update on the ongoing effort of that nation’s leadership to dominate and subjugate the world under their Communist authority.  It’s time to hear what you have to say as we turn the spotlight on more of the news of the week.

'Tis the season!  The holidays are here and all that they bring with them.  Traditions, memories, hopes, joy, cheer, and oh so much more.  On this episode of More Than One Way, we talk about this special time of year and the expectations we each have of ourselves and each other.  You may agree that "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!" or you may experience the holidays differently.  It may be a season of stress, sadness, and anxiety.  How ever you celebrate and experience this time of year, we hope this episode provides you will some helpful ways to survive the holidays.Contact Us: Email | Instagram | Facebook | Web Presented by: The Center for Spiritual PracticeCreative Team: Nathan Tipton, Christibeth Paul, Scott Brun, Thom Rasnick, Kerry Ruff, Paul Ruff, & Whitney RossOriginal Music composed by: Paul Ruff

If this is the Most Wonderful Time of Year...then why are there so many of us who feel stressed, overwhelmed and frazzled? It has to do with our thoughts! What thoughts are you choosing to put on? In this episode, you will be reminded on how to align your desires and dreams with some simple tips on how to be more patient. You will be able to give yourself some grace by putting on patience for yourself and for others during this time of year. Let us not forget the joyful living that each of us can obtain if we just choose our thoughts and discover how to put on words that matter. xo, Becky

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year. 12/5/2022

Join us for week 1 of our Christmas series, "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year." Pastor Brian begins this series by talking about the power of the virgin birth, and how it is one of many ways proving that Jesus was the Messiah. Don't miss out on this great start to the series that will walk through parts of the book of Isaiah.

Three years ago, BJ Ojulari walked toward Mercedes-Benz Stadium with an LSU hat and his mother instructed him not to wear it. They were there to support his older brother, Azeez, a rising star at outside linebacker for Georgia. On top of that, she reminded him, the school provided their tickets. BJ begrudgingly stuffed the hat in his pocket until they reached their seats. He put it back on once they got there, making him the only person in a section filled with red and black who rooted for the Tigers at the 2019 Southeastern Conference championship game. His mother told him to go to the LSU side, to which BJ responded that he was LSU to the core. BJ had committed to LSU two months earlier to make a name for himself in college football. He wanted Azeez to play well that day, but he cheered for the team he would one day lead back to the conference title game. With the situation flipped, BJ expects Azeez to approach the SEC championship Saturday afternoon in Atlanta the same way he once did. He is the leader of LSU's defense, but his brother has other allegiances. They've bantered ever since No. 14 LSU and No. 1 Georgia clinched their spots about three weeks ago. BJ knows Azeez wants him to succeed on Saturday, but he will be rooting for the Dawgs. An Atlanta-area native with his brother already there, BJ was pursued by the Bulldogs. He called them "a big factor" in his recruitment. Azeez tried to sway him as well, and BJ thought about following him. But he felt embraced by then-LSU coach Ed Orgeron and his staff, which offered a younger brother the chance to establish himself. In three years, BJ has done that. He blossomed into a star while LSU struggled to an 11-12 record the last two seasons. Then new defensive coordinator Matt House moved him from defensive end to standup outside linebacker, which helped him take another step.BJ is showing talent and versatility that may make him an early round pick in the NFL Draft.   In the wake of the 2020 census, the Marietta City Council is preparing to redistrict the city's seven wards, which serve as districts for both the council and Marietta Board of Education. After the census is taken every ten years, the city must redraw its ward lines, if the wards' populations are not roughly equal in size, as required by federal law. Mayor Steve “Thunder” Tumlin told the MDJ Monday he expects each ward to have about 8,600 people. Marietta has about 61,500 people, the U.S. Census Bureau estimates. The council's Judicial Legislative Committee began the process Tuesday by appointing its three members — Chairman Andy Morris, Cheryl Richardson and Andre Sims — to the city's ad hoc Redistricting Ward Map Study Committee. The three council members on the committee will have voting privileges. A Marietta school board member will also sit on the committee but have no vote on the maps. The Marietta school board follows the same ward maps as the council. Tumlin said the committee will hold public meetings to determine new ward maps, which will be drawn with the help of computer software. That software, he said, takes the census results into account to create new boundaries. At Tuesday's meeting, city Attorney Doug Haynie said the city is no longer required to gain pre-clearance, or approval from the U.S. Department of Justice, for its redistricted ward maps. Before the landmark 2013 U.S. Supreme Court decision Shelby County v. Holder, all redistricting plans in the state required pre-clearance from the Justice Department to ensure maps were fairly drawn and did not discriminate against any group of voters.   Santa Claus visited the Jonquil City on Wednesday night, where he lit downtown Smyrna's giant Christmas tree with a shower of magic dust. Residents flooded downtown Smyrna around City Hall for the city's annual “Coming Home for the Holidays” event. Richard Garland, the city's parks and recreation director, estimated more than 5,000 people attended. “It was wall to wall from the colonnade at the entrance all the way down to city hall,” Garland said. Choirs from Osborne and Campbell high schools and nine elementary schools sang carols throughout the evening. Despite warmer weather, people walked around the festive downtown sipping free hot chocolate. When the time came, Santa was led into the festival by the Campbell High marching band, then lifted into the air in the basket of a fire truck as the crowd chanted his name. A reported delay in absentee ballot mailings for the Dec. 6 U.S. Senate runoff election was due to office closures for the Thanksgiving holiday, Cobb's elections chief said Wednesday. Elections Director Janine Eveler said more than 3,400 ballots were affected by the delay, but have since been mailed to voters. “Everything is out the door,” she said. Those ballots were originally marked as issued on November 23, the day before Thanksgiving. Multiple state lawmakers told the MDJ they'd heard from constituents that their ballots — marked as issued in the state's ballot tracker — had still not been received as of earlier this week. In the case of the 3,442 ballots marked issued on the 23rd, Eveler said they were mailed out Monday because her office was closed on Thanksgiving Day and the day after. The reported delays sparked concerns the ballots were not mailed at all, as happened with more than 1,000 ballots in the weeks prior to the Nov. 6 general election. In that instance, Eveler initially said there was no evidence a significant number of ballots were missing, but days later announced the ballots had never been mailed. State Rep. David Wilkerson, D-Powder Springs, said he'd been tracking the ballot requests in the secretary of state's system, but it's too early to tell if there have been any errors. When the issue was made public before the general election, it was weeks after the ballots had supposedly been mailed. All absentee ballots must be returned by the time the polls close at 7 p.m. on Dec. 6. Voters can check the status of their absentee ballot at mvp.sos.ga.gov.   The McEachern girls outscored Kell 12-1 in overtime to win 66-55 in a battle of top-10 teams at Lovinggood Arena on Tuesday. The Indians ranked Number 8 in Class 7A, got 18 points from Jada Bates and 17 from Kalise Hill to offset 35 points from the Longhorns' Crystal Henderson. Bates connected on back-to-back 3-pointers — the second coming with 3:49 to play in the third quarter — to give McEachern its biggest lead in regulation at 37-30. Henderson then scored 18 of Kell's final 21 points in regulation, including making two 3-pointers and going 11-of-12 from the free-throw line. Two free throws from Haleigh Cephus and one from Williams gave the Indians a 57-54 lead, and moments later, Taylor Collins hit a 3 to push the lead to six. With just seconds left in the game and the shot clock running down, Collins made her second 3 in overtime — a 30-footer — to cap the scoring. Collins and Williams each finished the night with nine points.    Cobb EMC's Holiday Light Tour will feature light displays at the Cobb EMC Solar Flower Garden along with nine other homes serviced by the electric cooperative. “Many of our members told us how much they enjoyed the Holiday Light Tour last year and we can't wait to brighten the holiday season once again,” said Kris Delaney, Vice President of Marketing at Cobb EMC. “It's a chance for families and the community to experience some amazing light displays from Cobb EMC members that are participating for a great cause.” Cobb EMC's Holiday Light Tour kicks off with the grand lighting drive-through event on Dec. 1 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Solar Flower Garden at Cobb EMC off Highway 41 in Marietta. At the event, participants can walk through the Solar Flower Garden light display, meet Santa and Mrs. Claus, pick up a holiday light tour map and have cookies with Wattson. The nine homes participating in the light tour are: Riley's Rockin' Christmas in Kennesaw. Red Bud Christmas in Dallas. Smoot Family Christmas in Acworth. Hrockin Hranicky Christmas in Acworth.

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.

We at What the Riff!?! hope that y'all have a great Christmas — we hope these songs make your season a little more merry and bright.“Deck the Halls” by Twisted SisterThis classic carol was probably not originally envisioned to be quite as rocking as this, but Dee Snyder and Twisted Sister took it up a notch!  This is the sixth and last Twisted Sister studio album they would produce, and we're sure they donned their gay apparel for this final outing.  “Skynyrd Family” by Lynyrd SkynyrdSome southern charm was put on this song that tells of Lynyrd Skynyrd finishing up their tour and headed home for Christmas.  It is off their eleventh studio album entitled “Christmas Time Again,” released in 2000.   “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus” by the Jackson 5John Lynch brings us a classic Christmas song as performed by the Jackson 5.  Michael Jackson recorded this song on his 12th birthday in 1970.“2000 Miles” by  the PretendersThis song was on “Learning to Crawl,” the breakout studio album by the Pretenders released in 1983.  Chrissie Hynde wrote the song for James Honeyman-Scott, the group's original guitarist who had passed away the year prior to this recording.“Mistress for Christmas” by AC/DCRob may find a lump of coal in his stocking for picking this song for the Christmas podcast!  Brian Johnson of AC/DC isn't looking for peace, love, and joy for Christmas…but for a little Christmas nookie.  We learned that this song was inspired by Donald Trump.“Joy to the World” by Michael BoltonWe don't get a lot of Michael Bolton on our podcasts, and John Lynch set out to rectify that.  Bolton voices this classic Christmas hymn in his unique Yacht Rock style.“Boogie Woogie Santa Claus” by the Brian Seltzer OrchestraBrian Seltzer of Stray Cats fame put this one out there in 2002.  The Brian Seltzer Orchestra formed in 1990 as a swing and jump blues band, and put out the album “Boogie Woogie Christmas” with this and other Christmas classics.  This is a cover of the song, which was originally released by Mabel Scott in 1954.“(There's No Place Like) Home for the Holidays” by Perry ComoPerry Como released this classic Christmas song in 1954.  It tells of the longing to be home at Christmas, and some of the travelers making their way home.“Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree” by Brenda LeeJohnny Marks, who wrote “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer,” “A Holly Jolly Christmas,” and other Christmas songs wrote this one as well.  Brenda Lee recorded this in 1958 when she was 13 years old.  It is the fifth best selling Christmas single of all time according to Neilson SoundScan.  “Feliz Navidad”  by Jose FelicianoPuerto Rican musician Jose Feliciano wrote this in 1970. He recorded it in Los Angeles while feeling homesick at Christmas as his extended family was in New York.  “Feliz Navidad” means “Merry Christmas” in Spanish. “It's Gonna Be a Punk Rock Christmas” by the RaversWayne brings us a bit of PUNK for the Christmas season.  The Ravers released this back in 1977.  “It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” by Andy WilliamsWe decided to include more “non-rock singles” in this episode, and this classic holiday tune originated in 1963 on Williams' first Christmas album.  It tells of all the activities that surrounds the Christmas season.“Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!” by Dean MartinSammy Cahn and  Jule Styne wrote this in the summer of 1945 during a heat wave in Hollywood, California.  Dean Martin released a version in 1959, and re-recorded it in 1966.“Blue Christmas” by Seymour Swine and the SquealersThis novelty song was recorded in 1984 for a North Carolina radio station morning show.  Denny Brownlee is the comedian and impressionist who brought Seymour Swine to life - primarily to avoid copyright issues associated with ©Porky Pig.“O Come All Ye Grateful Dead Heads” by Bob RiversComedian Bob Rivers had this parody on his “Twisted Christmas” album in 1987.We hope y'all have a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

We might love to sing along with “It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year,” but it doesn't always feel wonderful. Maybe there's a part of us that feels swallowed up by the stress caused by all the extras in our schedules. During the holiday season, it's definitely important to make a special effort to monitor our health and wellbeing, including squeezing in some of that precious downtime. However, in this episode, when went beyond the things you might usually think of to fight stress and found six unique tips that we hope will surprise you with their simplicity and effectiveness. Some are specific to the holidays, but most are perfect for Christmas time or ANY time.    You may also like:  “Beating the Holiday Blues”For more info on IMAGINE YOURSELF and Lanee Blaise and Sandy Kovach or to contact us,  visit imagineyourselfpodcast.com

We are fast approaching the holidays, and whenever I think of that the song “It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” runs through my head like an ear worm! It also makes me giggle because what I know is that often the holidays create a level of stress that is the opposite of the song's message. You may know that what drives that is “should”, it's true.
