GDP Script/ Top Stories for November 27th Publish Date: November 27th PRE-ROLL: SUGAR HILL ICE SKATING From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Thursday, November 27th and Happy birthday to Bruce Lee I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. More than 4 million expected to pass through Atlanta airport during Thanksgiving season ‘Elf The Musical’ coming to Fox Theatre for the Christmas season Flight delays: Here are your rights when flying over the holidays in 2025 Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on soy and oat milk All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: STRAND THEATRE STORY 1: More than 4 million expected to pass through Atlanta airport during Thanksgiving season  Thanksgiving travel is in full swing, and Hartsfield-Jackson is bracing for over 4 million passengers. “It’s like our Super Bowl,” said General Manager Ricky Smith, half-joking but clearly ready for the chaos. The busiest day? Dec. 1, with 375,000 travelers expected—though that’s slightly down from last year, thanks to folks opting for road trips during the recent government shutdown. Still, the airport’s pulling out all the stops: new info totems, real-time TSA wait times, and extra security (some visible, some not). Smith’s advice? Arrive early, stay patient, and if something feels off, speak up. STORY 2: ‘Elf The Musical’ coming to Fox Theatre for the Christmas season  Buddy the Elf is in town, and he’s bringing the holiday cheer! “Elf The Musical” is hitting the Fox Theatre stage Dec. 16-21, but Buddy’s not waiting till then to spread some Christmas magic. Catch him around Atlanta this weekend: Friday night at The Blind Elf Parlour Bar (5:30-7:30 p.m.), or Saturday at the Children’s Museum (10 a.m.-noon), the Georgia Festival of Trees (2-4 p.m.), and Atlantic Station’s Light the Station event (4-7:30 p.m.). So, grab your syrup and get ready—it’s gonna be festive! STORY 3: Flight delays: Here are your rights when flying over the holidays in 2025   Ever been stuck at the airport, staring at the departure board, wondering what your rights are? Turns out, there’s a “magic number” for delays: 3 hours for domestic flights, 6 for international. Hit that threshold, and airlines have to help—refund, rebook, your call. But here’s the catch: no extra compensation in the U.S. Some airlines, like Delta or Alaska, will throw in meal vouchers or even a hotel if it’s their fault (think staffing, not weather). Others? Not so generous. Pro tip: check your airline’s policy before you fly. And pack snacks. Always. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: 07.14.22 KIA MOG- DTL HOLIDAY STORY 4: Real Christmas trees may be the real bargain this year because of tariffs   With artificial tree prices climbing (thanks, inflation and tariffs), real Christmas trees might just be the better deal this year—and they come with the bonus of supporting local farmers. At Savage Farms, the holiday prep is in full swing. “We always encourage folks to buy live trees,” said Mason Savage. “It supports local farmers and, honestly, the U.S. economy.” They’ve got Georgia-grown Murray Cypress and Carolina Sapphire, plus Frasier firs from North Carolina—an area bouncing back after Hurricane Helene. Prices? Still $10 per foot. “It’s a blessing,” Savage said, “bringing that Christmas joy to our community.” STORY 5: Holiday lights on display in metro Atlanta The holidays are here, and metro Atlanta is lighting up—literally. Whether you’re cruising through a drive-thru wonderland or strolling under glowing canopies, there’s magic everywhere. Candy Rush at Six Flags (Marietta): A mile of lights, candy canes, and a gingerbread village. Sweet tooth? Satisfied. Nov. 14–Jan. 4. $39.99 per car. Fantasy in Lights at Callaway Gardens: Seven miles, 10 million lights, and Santa. Forbes loves it, and so will you. Nov. 14–Jan. 4. Tickets start at $24.99. Lanier Islands’ Magical Nights of Lights: Six miles of twinkling displays. Pure nostalgia. Nov. 15–Jan. 4. Tickets? $25. WildWoods: AGLOW at Fernbank: Glowing gardens, luminous dandelions, and interactive magic. Nov. 14–Feb. 28. Tickets? $16.95. Go make some memories! We’ll be right back.

12-22-2024 - The Real Christmas by Pastor Adam Bennett

SERIES: A Real ChristmasBy this time of the holiday season, people are often weighted down… and may still feel like there remains so much left to do! But who are we really trying to please with everything that “needs” to get done? Is it all for everyone else, or is it possible that many of our to-do's are really about us? Are we actually the ones who need everything to be a certain way for it to be “a real Christmas”? If so, it's time to shift our focus away from ourselves. When we do, we might end up being surprised by whom Christmas is about after all.

In this festive episode of Off Topic, Eric gets real about the inevitable holiday surprise everyone will be getting this year—Nala's fur, thanks to her shedding spree! He also dives into five must-try apps within Canva that will take your creativity and content game to the next level. As always, the episode wraps up with Country Music Weekly, featuring the latest hits and chart updates. Don't miss this fun and informative holiday-themed chat!

Ever wondered what's the greener, more sustainable choice between a chopped down live Christmas tree or an artificial plastic one? Join us as we find out what to watch out for this Christmas season.

A Real Christmas Will Lift Up the Lowly (Luke 1:39-55) - 12/15/2024 by Divine Grace Lutheran Church

SERIES: A Real ChristmasA real Christmas is one that results in great joy. But joy is not the same thing as happiness. It is infinitely better. Happiness is an emotion, while joyfulness is a condition. Happiness comes from your circumstances, while joyfulness comes from Christ. But how? What is it we find in Christ that results in such joy? What does Jesus have that we may otherwise spend our entire lifetime seeking and never really finding? Acceptance. And that acceptance flows into pure, permanent joy.

A Real Christmas Requires Remembering Why Christ Came (Jeremiah 33:14-16) - 01/1/2024 by Divine Grace Lutheran Church

Real Christmas trees may not be the best option for the environment. Find out which one is right for you.

SERIES: A Real ChristmasIt is easy to get so caught up in the imagery—a tiny newborn baby, lying in the straw filled manger under a star-filled sky—that we forget the why. Why did the Son of God come into our world and take on human flesh? So that he might die as the sacrifice for our sins. One Christmas carol puts it this way. “Neither crib nor cross refuses, all he suffers for your good to redeem you by his blood.”Advent marks the start of a new Church Year. We begin at the end, watching Jesus ride into Jerusalem on a donkey colt, knowing full well that he would be killed before the end of the week. The events of Palm Sunday serve as a microcosm for all Jesus' work, proving the Son of God was willing to humble himself and endure anything for our salvation. That is precisely why Christ came. And a real Christmas requires remembering why Christ came.

 It's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, and forget the “main event” – the birth of Jesus Christ. J.John shares a heartfelt look at the gifts God offers us at Christmas: forgiveness for our sins and salvation through belief in His Son.   Want more wisdom from J.John? This free collection contains over two hours of content featuring his most popular talks on topics like having a godly perspective, accepting your identity in Christ, the proofs of Christianity, and the true meaning of Christmas.    Get More Episode Resources    If you've listened to any of our podcasts, please give us your feedback.
