What did Tudor families do at Christmas once the feasting slowed, the music quietened, and the Yule log glowed on the hearth? They played games, and some of them are still incredibly fun today. Welcome to Day 4 of my Tudor Christmas Advent series! I'm historian and author Claire Ridgway, and today we're stepping into the warm, bustling world of Tudor fireside entertainment. From nobles in great halls to sailors aboard the Mary Rose, people in Tudor England filled the long winter evenings with: - Dice games like Cent, Raffles, and Passage - Card games from gentle Noddy to high-stakes Primero — Henry VIII's favourite - Board games including backgammon (“tables”), chess, Fox and Geese, and Nine Men's Morris - Shove-board and early billiards for the elite - And simple household fun like pick-up sticks These games weren't just entertainment. They were connection - a way for families and communities to share laughter, competition, mischief, and companionship throughout the Twelve Days of Christmas. If you're enjoying this festive journey through Tudor history, please like, subscribe, and ring the bell - more Christmas magic is coming tomorrow!   #TudorChristmas #TudorHistory #ChristmasTraditions #HistoryWithClaire #HenryVIII #MedievalGames #TwelveDaysOfChristmas #AnneBoleynFiles #ChristmasHistory

In this episode of That Don't Sound Right, Peter and Cecil dive into one of Cecil's most unbelievable real-life stories — the day he actually won a brand-new 1990 Mazda Miata in a high school raffle while he was in pharmacy school. From the shock of hearing his name called, to picking up the shiny red roadster, to the reactions on campus, Cecil walks through every twist of this once-in-a-lifetime moment. The hosts mix nostalgia, humor, and everyday practicality as they unpack the excitement of owning a new roadster… and the unexpected tax bill that came with it. In true That Don't Sound Right fashion, the story ends with a grounded decision that still gets laughs, head shakes, and “you did what?” reactions today. If you love real stories, good conversation, and the kind of luck that makes you say “that don't sound right”, this episode is a ride worth taking. Connect with us:

Is it wrong to have raffles in the church? Is a raffle something a church can consider as part of an effort to raise money?

What do you wish I asked this guest? What was your "quotable moment" from this episode? Ten years of spark, craft, and community converge in Arlington, Texas. I sat down with Kacie from Kacie's Corner to share everything you need to know about the 10th annual DFW Pagan Unity Fest.

Expect returning favorites and new artisans, including holistic healers and regional artists, plus the final appearance of a beloved vendor, Venus 6 Gallery. Classes in the Grove run 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., opening with Harvest in Gratitude by Jennifer Culver and closing with Kacie's Webs of Community workshop focused on building real, resilient connections. At 3 p.m., Jormungandholl DFW leads a community Yule ritual right in Vendors Village, bringing intention and warmth to the heart of the fest.We also spotlight the annual raffle that turns shared excitement into direct impact. Vendors donate prizes, we're adding a spell box to the pool, and every ticket supports the North Texas Food Bank, which serves both the Dallas–Fort Worth metro area and surrounding rural communities. You'll also hear about the new Community Corner co-sponsored by Kacie's Corner and Your Average Witch, where you can drop in, make simple crafts, and meet people without pressure.

The evening will include a dual pole performance by Ashley Molesso + Gentle Mothh, a 1 hour Performance - comedic history of Whore's written and performed by Kaytlin Bailey, and the Ishtar Collective Mutual Aid Table. Early Bird Tickets are $12 - $22 and $30 at the doorJoining me in conversation are Gentle Mothh, a queer, Southern, Taiwanese American artist and entertainer based in Kingston, NY whose work spans fashion, music, and advocacy. Her debut book,Giving Body, about lived experience and community around erotic labor, is out this fall with Eureka! Press. She is a student of Traditional Chinese Medicine and teaches live Qigong classes on her Substack “Gentle, gentle.”And KWD (they/she) who has been a sex worker their entire adult life, holding a variety of roles in the adult industry throughout their career, and an active advocate for LGBTQ+ and gender-based rights just as long. The flexibility of their work has allowed them to be a dedicated community organizer: distributing medical supplies and meals to working class comrades and unhoused neighbors. Joining with The Ishtar Collective in 2022 created a path beyond local efforts and into state legislative and cultural initiatives to humanize and decriminalize erotic laborers and their clients. She is passionate about inclusive community organizing and invites you to reach out by email to learn more and get involved! kwd@ishtarcollective.orgOur conversation serves as an introduction to the issues faced by and harm caused to sex workers by way of our current laws controlling their behavior and the behavior of their clients. KWD asks us to call Governor Hochul 1-518-474-8390 and ask that she sign the legislation that has passed both houses of our state government and is sitting somewhere in her office. This Immunity legislation - A.1029-B / S.3967-B -  is an "act to amend the penal law, in relation to individuals engaged in prostitution who are victims of or witnesses to a crime." Call today!They walk me through some of the prevailing topics related to sex work that are deserving of a deeper conversation - body autonomy, perceived victimhood, feminism, choice, censorship, religious freedom, and the need for full decriminalization as opposed to partial decriminalization.We get a peek into the personal talking to Mothh about her BEAUTIFUL book and what self care looks like for both of them.You can get a sneak peak into the magic happening on Nov. 14th by joining them for Tarte happening on Sunday November 9, Doors 4pm, show 5pm at C.

A Catholic priest in Pennsylvania took his parishioners for a joyride after confessing to rigging a church fundraising raffle for a Corvette Stingray. The scheme was run with unchecked authority over parish funds, enabling him to award phony prizes to friends while running up a massive $300,000 American Express tab paid by the church. This shocking case highlights the petty corruption and financial malfeasance that runs rampant when religious institutions operate without oversight, exploiting the faithful for personal gain and high-end consumer luxury.  News Source: Pennsylvania Priest Accused of Rigging Corvette Raffle, Using Church Funds to Pay Off American Express Bill By Hemet Mehta for The Friendly Atheist August 11th, 2025
