St. Patrick might be the most famous of the Irish saints...but he's far from the most interesting. In 2023, St. Brigid's Day was decreed a National Holiday in Ireland to honor Brigid. Over the millennia, this legendary woman has evolved into a figure encompassing myth, holy legend, pagan icon, and now modern feminist symbol. But who was Brigid, really? To answer that question, travel writer Nicola Brady set off around Ireland to see how she's celebrated, and she found that there's not one simple answer. Because, as with everything in Ireland, you never know quite what's around the corner. Listen for a story that takes you into forests and through time, from the windswept hills of Downpatrick to ancient cathedrals of Kildare.

Dr. King was a great man for all Americans and would be so sad to see this President and what he is doing to this country on Dr. Kings day. That quiet possibly may have been the last time we (as Americans) get to Celebrate King as a National Holiday the way things have gone this last week.Victor did a thing on MLK Day. He removed himself from a couple different social networking sites. I think it's easier for me to do this because I am a GenX'er. We are the most resilient group of people. Could you guys give up "any social media" today and be okay with never using it again? That's some old people talk right there.A lot of things happened the day Joe Biden left office but, him giving people Preemptive Pardons was insane to me. Insane because it had to be done in our country today due to political differences. This is going to be a fun time the next four years. A brand new Nintendo Switch has been announced! Y'all know Victor loves him some Nintendo. So stay tuned for further information about that when I hear something.  We hope you guys enjoyed the episode and we will see you all next week.

Kirkpatrick highlights the pivotal role of Sarah Josepha Hale, an influential author and editor, who campaigned for nearly two decades to establish Thanksgiving as a national holiday. Her efforts culminated in President Abraham Lincoln's 1863 proclamation, which set the last Thursday in November as a day for national thanksgiving. Kirkpatrick describes Hale's significant contributions to American culture, including her advocacy for women's education and employment, her influence through Godey's Lady's Book and her personal resilience, literary achievements, and lasting impact on American traditions and holidays.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I personally love Thanksgiving - if you've ever read my blog, Paprika Angel you will see my love of food and travel but also the time and energy I have spent preparing this meal for friends and loved ones and sometimes strangers for years.  With minor exception I pull together 10 or more people to feast extravagantly every year, even if my funds are short.  I always have found a way because I love to prepare and feed and make offerings at this time of year from a place of love.  At one of my in person legal educational events last year, my door prize included a Turkey Day kit and the who won it said.  “Oh, I don't celebrate Thanksgiving.” and was offended by my gift.  I stopped in my tracks, not to apologize, but for my naivety and surprise - as some still believe and or are wholly ignorant of what Thanksgiving as a National Holiday is about.  So we are going to go down a little gobbler day history less here to reclaim any misconceptions of Thanksgiving back into the light.  There were no docile aboriginals showing up at some saintly puritan pilgrims' feet offering them maize and turkeys. Our mythological buckled hat pilgrims straight off the Mayflower likely did not sit down at any table anywhere, let alone with the natives of the region we now call New England.   There is however a 1st hand account in a letter form from around that time of the first English settlements of Prospectors (not religious pilgrims but gold hunters seeking riches in the new lands) that a “harvest festival” of sorts occurred over the course of weeks involving the hunting of wild game (deer, wild turkeys, bear) and the sharing of cranberries, gourds and tubers by the local native friendlies.  Likely, the “settlers” were starving to death on their own with no knowledge of what was edible in the inhospitable places they chose to set up camp, and having no supplies from England left over, the aboriginals may have felt sorry for some of them and shown them what to do.  Or for the sake of trading for weapons to gain strength over another nation, they brought the prospectors food.    The original table is a myth taught to school children.  Just as the belief that the original settlors came in the name of religious freedom and that Columbus discovered America.  The actual first settlements in what is now the United States America were all about gold and riches.  The actual first settlement in the United States in St. Augustine - and that was under the guise of saving souls by the Catholic church but it really was about the protection of Spanish gold from South America.  But if there was truly to be a first North American Thanksgiving it would be the priests and Spanish military landing at what is now called St. Augustine and meeting The Timucuans, a truly kind and docile native people of Northeastern Florida, who took immediately to the prayers and symbols of the Catholic priests, and all of them celebrated together the mass and feast of St. Mary at El Nombre Dias (there is still in a cross in the ground today where this happened).  They all prayed together, Timucuan, Spanish sailors and soldiers, Catholic priests - and they offered thanks and praise to god and the great mother, and they shared in a feast of shellfish provided to them by the friendly natives.  But as England and Spain were rivals in the prospecting of North America for gold and riches, this story of a true first Thanksgiving (coming together in gratitude and prayer to the universal force that loves and protects us) is not in the common mythology of the United States.  In fact it is buried in the annuls of Florida history as Florida did not become a state released from Spain until just before the US Civil War.  So, let's move forward in time a bit to when we have a thriving New England after the Revolutionary war when we are an independent nation open to those seeking freedom of religion, opportunity to farm, and asylum from persecution. It was during these times that we have huge influxes of Puritans who had Thanksgiving as a time of prayer.  Entire days devoted only to giving thanks to God for everything in creation.  For a long time this day of prayer and observance was the equivalent of our modern day Christmas celebrations because in puritanical christian practice the giving of gifts and worshiping saints like the Catholics and Lutherans was looked down upon. Puritans were very austere and labeled any festivals as negative, wasteful, and involving satanic invitations.  So instead they prayed and gave thanks and this holy time generally occurred around the beginning of November - the early parts of winter and the late stages of Autumn when it was important to count your blessings and prepare for the meager months ahead by working hard to fill your stores.  Pigs and Poultry would be slaughtered and salted and prepped for winter storage.  So there would be a time of feasting as things that couldn't be stored had to be used up to prevent waste.  It was out of necessity and practicality in a pre-electricity society.   People today can barely imagine going without the internet for a couple of hours let alone not having running water and electricity.  Something we take for granted with the evolution of humanity and technology, is how fragile we are without the  technology tools we have built.   This time of year it was necessary to feast so we did not waste.  The last hurrah before the lean times when people died of exposure and diseases of malnutrition and lack of sanitation. But they still paused to give thanks and pray and embody gratitude.  In Viking society even before our young country of the United States this concept of gratitude, prayer and nourishment was built into the bedrock of the culture (as Vikings were farmers and life was not easy).  You see it in the Rune stones - Fehu translates to cattle which is the rune of abundance and mobile property. Wunjo translates to winning and joy - and it is the rune of gratitude i.e. having/having enough.  And finally Algiz which translates to Elk Sedge or stage is a run of protection, boundaries and prayer because the man who prays and acknowledges what he has is protected by the Gods.   Alright, back to the US and our Thanksgiving story.  I'm writing this on the eve of the 2024 U.S. Presidential election so I think it is poignant in this time of massive emotional divisiveness  to explain  when and how Thanksgiving, the National holiday of gratitude, unity, and celebration of shared blessings came to be. Civil War.  Can you even imagine if war was outside your backdoor?  Cities burning, young men across the entire country dead and maimed by the millions.  Families lost their homes, their means of making any income, there was no usable farmland, just fields of blood.  People are starving and grieving.  Any issue we are facing today, pales in comparison to the aftermath of the United States civil war.  And it was then that the Federal Government and Abraham Lincoln declared the need for a Great Healing.  A coming together to give thanks for what we had been given by God and together as families and a hurting nation.  Gratitude is the foundation upon which the United States was rebuilt upon.   Gratitude is the strong foundation  that allows us to build in spite of the  greatest atrocities and destruction..  This is what saved Holocaust survivors.  And Thanksgiving as a holiday is the core of our nation's gratitude practice and abundance mindset.  It was initiated as a National holiday to create healing and to mend the divide between neighbors, so we could all come together as Americans again.  Not as Northerners nor Southerns, not based in color or creed, or economies, not separated by ideologies , but together, as Americans - united in the spirit of acknowledging blessings  and breaking bread.  Every thought is acted upon.  By you or someone else.  This is a Hermetic principle and a truth of the universe.  How many people today have said death to Trump!  Or Kill Kamala!  Or some version of hate directed at those who hold differing views?   Where are we going with this?  Hate begets Hate and is acted upon.  We can see this in our Nations history.  I bring this up not because I hold any political viewpoint but because I am on the side of humanity, love, unity and reason for us to come together. Let us come together to solve our challenges. Let us come together and hear differing perspectives. Let us find nourishing common ground and stop  playing the blame game.   How do we come together? With the greatest healers of all time - prayer and gratitude.  Gratitude and prayer.  Whatever that looks like to you.  Whatever God, Gods or forces of universality you choose to worship.  Look at your fellow person, your family friends, neighbors, city dwellers, statesman, countrymen and country women.  And give gratitude for this country  of opportunity of freedom and abundance we live in.  War is not at our back door.  Our daughters can go to school.  We have running water and electricity and almost everyone can have a cell phone and access to the Internet.  YES there are problems but we have the technology, the infrastructure, and the resources to fix them!  There is no lack.  Lack is a fiction built by ideologies that come from hurt,shadow and negative ego.  As within so without.  If we are victims internally, we are victims externally.  If we choose abundance and healing internally we will create healing and abundance for ourselves and others externally.   So. this is why Thanksgiving is such a special day and such an opportunity for us all.  It is a day in our collective consciousness dedicated to the GREAT HEALING energy of gratitude.  The power of gratitude is phenomenal. An action of gratitude has a rippling effect on the collective. . Like thoughts attract like thoughts.  By us all coming together in gratitude we can create an enormous  healing force of magnifying love.  We can collectively create a shift in the consciousness to healing—and not just others but ourselves!.   Overcome the divide created by elections and propaganda  language that is made to trigger our most egocentric emotions.  We can be better than the propaganda counsels. We can unite in love.  We can give thanks together in the bounty we have. We can propel humanity  forward by choosing to raise everyone up.  We can forgive the past hurts and grow as a result.  We can truly be a land of opportunity.  We just have to acknowledge in rich and beautiful gratitude everything we already have, and everything gratitude will allow us to create together.   In the true spirit of this misunderstood holiday, I wish you all— including those with differing politics, ideologies, geographies and beliefs— Happy Thanksgiving!

Now this clown never set foot on the land that would become the United States, yet we have a city in Ohio, and had a recently renamed National Holiday in his honor.

Chinese people have shown strong spending power during the Mid-Autumn Festival, with many sectors such as tourism and postal services marking vigorous growth during the three-day vacation.今年中秋假期,居民表现出强劲的消费能力。旅游、邮政服务等诸多行业在三天假期内出现强劲增长。The latest figures from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism show that domestic tourism spots received about 107 million visits over the holiday, up 6.3 percent from that of 2019—before the COVID-19 epidemic.文化和旅游部最新数据显示,中秋节假期,全国国内出游1.07亿人次,比新冠疫情发生前的2019年同期增长6.3%。The celebrations that lasted for three days, from Sunday to Tuesday, was one of China's major four traditional festivals, while the other three are Spring Festival, Tomb-sweeping Day and Dragon Boat Festival.从15日至17日,为期三天的庆中秋活动是中国四大传统节日之一,其他三个节日分别是春节、清明节和端午节。Diversified celebrations including making and eating mooncakes, guessing lantern riddles and watching the full moon are organized by families for amusement during the festival that concluded on Tuesday.在17日结束的中秋节期间,家家户户都组织了丰富多彩的庆祝活动,包括做月饼、吃月饼、猜灯谜和赏月。Among the industries closely related to people's livelihood, tourism shows tremendous performance though Typhoon Bebinca landed in Shanghai on Monday, and disrupted travel plans of some travelers.尽管台风“贝碧嘉”于16日登陆上海,打乱了部分游客的出行计划,但在与民生密切相关的行业中,旅游业表现抢眼。Travelers' expenses reached over 51 billion yuan ($7.19 billion), rising by 8 percent compared with 2019 when the holiday was celebrated in mid-September. Last year, the holiday coincided with the National Holiday.国内游客出游总花费超过510亿元(约71.9亿美元),较2019年9月中旬庆祝假期时增长8%,而去年的假期恰逢中秋和国庆“双节”。Travelers opted for short-distance or night tour events considering the shorter duration of the holiday and as the main activity of the celebration is enjoying the full moon in the company of loved ones. East China's Fujian province said that the tourist visits to its scenic spots per night was around 2.06 million over the holiday, with the number increasing by 19.5 percent compared with that in 2019.考虑到假期时间较短,且主要庆祝活动是陪伴亲人共赏圆月,短途游、夜间游成为游客们的选择。据福建省统计,假日期间,该省景区每晚游客量约为206万人次,与2019年相比增长了19.5%。Domestically, destinations with heavy Chinese cultural vibes and various folk amusement events marked "travel craze", such as lantern fairs and Chinese opera performance, said the ministry.有关部门表示,在国内,中国文化氛围浓厚的旅游目的地和各种民间娱乐活动也掀起了“旅游热”,比如灯会和中国戏曲表演。The inbound and outbound tourism market is not inferior to the domestic market in any respect. The National Immigration Administration announced on Wednesday that mainland's border inspection offices recorded about 5.25 million entries and exits for both Chinese and foreign individuals over the three-day holiday, marking a year-on-year rise of 18.6 percent.出入境旅游市场毫不逊色于国内市场。国家移民管理局18日通报,今年中秋节期间,全国边检机关共查验出入境中外人员约525万人次,同比增长 18.6%。Among them, mainland residents made around 2.63 million entries and exits, up 15.1 percent year-on-year, while the number of foreign individuals jumped by 62.2 percent year-on-year to 554,000. Residents from Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions and Taiwan totaled 2.07 million entries and exits over the holiday, marking a 7.3 percent year-on-year increase.其中,内地居民出入境约263万人次,同比增长15.1%;外国人出入境55.4万人次,同比增长62.2%;港澳台居民出入境207万人次,同比增长7.3%。Residents' strong spending power also spilled over to other sectors during the holiday. Beijing, one of the nation's major cities with dense population and strong consumption power, recorded the sales volume reached around 4.7 billion yuan over the holiday, including shopping malls, supermarkets, restaurants and online sales, the China Central Television said citing figures from the Beijing Municipal Commerce Bureau.假日期间,居民旺盛的消费能力也蔓延到其他行业。中国中央电视台援引北京市商务局的数据称,北京作为人口密集、消费能力强的全国主要城市之一,百货、超市、餐饮和电商等行业在此次假期的销售额达到约47 亿元。The postal and courier industry also saw a surge in parcel deliveries across China during the holiday.同时,节日期间,邮政快递业在全国各地的包裹投递量激增。The State Post Bureau of China said on Wednesday that courier companies collected approximately 1.31 billion packages during this year's three-day holiday, marking a 35.4 percent increase in daily collections compared to last year's Mid-Autumn Festival. Meanwhile, deliveries surged to around 1.407 billion packages, reflecting a remarkable 45.7 percent year-on-year growth.国家邮政局18日表示,今年中秋节放假期间,快递公司共揽收约 13.1 亿件快递包裹,比去年中秋假期日均增长35.4%。与此同时,快递包裹投递量激增至约14.07 亿件,同比大幅增长 45.7%。spending powern.消费能力guess lantern riddles猜灯谜Typhoon Bebinca台风“贝碧嘉”coincidev.一致,符合;同时发生enjoy the full moon赏圆月courier companyn.快递公司

Syracuse University communications professor and former Emmy award-winning ESPN producer Dennis Deninger ("The Football Game That Changed America: How the NFL Created a National Holiday") joins the show to take us through the origin story and unlikely sociological trajectory of the Super Bowl - pro football's annual championship extravaganza that morphed from uncertain beginnings during the late 1960s AFL-NFL merger into one of America's dominant cultural touchstones.   From the book's dust jacket: The Super Bowl has changed what was just another wintry Sunday into America's unofficial holiday. It's the biggest entertainment event of the year. It's the most important advertising event of the year. It is the biggest gambling event of the year. More Americans watch this game than vote in presidential elections. How did this all happen? In "The Football Game That Changed America," Dennis Deninger reveals how the Super Bowl went from almost being canceled after its first two years to becoming an ingrained part of American life. He tells the story of how this colossal event came to be—including the challenges, stumbles, and amusing surprises along the way—and details the game's incredible impact well beyond the sports world, touching virtually every facet of life in the United States. + + +   SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Us a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/goodseatsstillavailable "Good Seats" Show & Defunct Team Merch:  http://tee.pub/lic/RdiDZzQeHSY SPONSOR THANKS: Royal Retros (promo code: SEATS): https://www.503-sports.com?aff=2 Old School Shirts.com (promo code: GOODSEATS) https://oldschoolshirts.com/goodseats   READ EARLY AND OFTEN: The Football Game That Changed America: How the NFL Created a National Holiday (2024): https://amzn.to/4cRKGhn   FIND AND FOLLOW: Website: https://goodseatsstillavailable.com/ X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/GoodSeatsStill Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodseatsstillavailable/ Threads: https://www.threads.net/@goodseatsstillavailable Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GoodSeatsStillAvailable/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@goodseatsstillavailable

In a remarkable series of events, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson made headlines with his declaration of a significant legislation aimed at fortifying our election laws. This followed his much-publicized meeting with Donald Trump, the former president, at his opulent Mar-a-Lago resort. Johnson elucidated his proposed bill saying, 'Every individual who wishes to vote in a federal election should first demonstrate their American citizenship.' This bill, he says, would align us with almost every other democratic nation that forbids non-citizens from voting. This concept, according to Johnson, seems innately logical. 'We surely can agree unanimously that U.S. elections should only be determined by U.S. citizens.' he stated. With this proposal, Johnson seeks to uphold the basic principles of a democracy, reinforcing that the right to vote must be exclusive to citizens alone. This assertion appears to share common ground with the mindset of most democratic nations. Additionally, the conversation on election integrity was enriched with input from former GOP presidential contender, Vivek Ramaswamy. He provided a handful of recommendations to the Republican Party aimed at cementing the integrity of future elections. He advised, 'GOP should focus on victory. Make Election Day a National Holiday, champion single-day voting, insist on paper ballots, ensure government-issued voter IDs to tally with voter files, and establish English as the unanimous language on ballots.' In the midst of these fresh proposals, Trump offered his supportive evaluation towards Speaker Johnson on Friday. In his view, Johnson is executing an excellent job. He also attempted to curb the far-right influences led by Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has been taking steps to unseat him.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

St. Patrick might be the most famous of the Irish saints...but he's far from the most interesting. In 2023, St. Brigid's Day was decreed a National Holiday in Ireland to honor Brigid. Over the millennia, this legendary woman has evolved into a figure encompassing myth, holy legend, pagan icon, and now modern feminist symbol. But who was Brigid, really? To answer that question, travel writer Nicola Brady set off around Ireland to see how she's celebrated, and she found that there's not one simple answer. Because, as with everything in Ireland, you never know quite what's around the corner. Listen for a story that takes you into forests and through time, from the windswept hills of Downpatrick to ancient cathedrals of Kildare.

When was Thanksgiving established as a national holiday in the United States? President George Washington was the first to issue a proclamation for a day of Thanksgiving in 1789. However, it was Sarah Josepha Hale, the influential author and editor of Godey's Lady's Book, who petitioned Congress and five different presidents to create a national annual holiday for Thanksgiving between 1846-1863. She was finally successful in 1863 when President Abraham Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a national holiday on the last Thursday in November. Newt's guest is Melanie Kirkpatrick. She is the author of two books on the subject: Lady Editor: Sarah Josepha Hale and the Making of the Modern American Woman and Thanksgiving: The Holiday at the Heart of the American Experience.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
