A Victorian Christmas looks cozy on greeting cards—glowing candle-lit trees, shimmering tinsel, children gathered around the fire. But behind the snow-globe charm was a season of deadly house fires, toxic decorations, poisoned sweets, and experimental electric lights that turned “old-fashioned Christmas” into a very real nightmare. In this episode of Terrifying & True, we dig into the true history of how festive traditions nearly burned homes to the ground, poisoned entire families, and forced the world to rethink what “safe” even meant.Inside this episode:Candle-lit Christmas trees as ticking time bombs: How dry fir branches, open flames, and flammable Victorian fashion created instant infernos in parlors across Britain and beyond.Toxic snow, tinsel, and ornaments: From cotton “snow” that flashed into flame to lead-based tinsel and arsenic-dyed decorations that slowly poisoned anyone who touched or tasted them.Deadly toys and poisoned treats: The rise of arsenic greens, adulterated candies, and tainted puddings, and the chilling real-life stories of children who paid the price for “holiday cheer.”Early electric lights and new kinds of danger: How the “safe” alternative to candles—experimental electric light strings and overloaded wiring—brought shocks, sparks, and fresh fears to the Christmas season.From horror to reform: The fires, poisonings, and public scandals that pushed governments, scientists, and ordinary families toward modern safety standards, consumer protections, and fire codes that still save lives today.This Christmas, as you plug in your UL-listed lights and hang shatterproof ornaments, remember the people who learned these lessons the hardest way possible—and the ghostly echoes of Victorian Christmases that still haunt our holidays. We're telling that story tonight.

This sermon explores the origins and significance of baptism and communion, tracing them back to their roots in the Exodus story. It explains that these sacraments are not random rituals but divine institutions commanded by Jesus, prefigured in the Old Testament, and practiced by the church for thousands of years.Scripture ReferencesMatthew 28:18-20: The Great Commission to baptize.Luke 22:7-20: The Last Supper, instituting communion.1 Corinthians 11:23-26: Paul's instructions on the Lord's Supper.Exodus 12:1-28: The Passover, the origin of communion.Exodus 12:29-51 & 14:1-31: The Exodus and crossing of the Red Sea, the origin of baptism.John 1:29: John the Baptist identifies Jesus as the "Lamb of God."1 Peter 1:18-19: Redeemed by the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish.Key PointsCommunion: The Passover Fulfilled To understand the Last Supper, we must understand the First Supper (Passover). In Exodus 12, God provided a substitute (a lamb) to save the Israelites from judgment. This lamb had to be:Pure: Without defect.Personal: Kept in the home for four days.Killed: A true sacrifice.Applied: Blood on the doorposts (faith in action).Consumed: Totally devoured (we take all of Jesus).Taken in Faith: Eaten in haste, ready to move. Jesus is the fulfillment of this Passover lamb. He is the pure, personal sacrifice whose blood is applied to our lives, saving us from judgment.Baptism: The Red Sea Crossing Baptism is framed by the Israelites' crossing of the Red Sea (Exodus 14). It involves three movements of salvation:Leaving the Old Behind: Just as Israel left 430 years of slavery in Egypt, baptism symbolizes leaving our old life of bondage.Surrendering to God: At the Red Sea, Israel was trapped and terrified. Moses told them, "The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still." Baptism declares our trust in God to fight battles we cannot win.New Identity: Passing through the waters, Israel was born again as a free nation. They emerged on the other side with a new identity as worshipers, erupting in song. Baptism marks our entry into a new life and identity in Christ.Why We Do It We practice baptism and communion because Jesus commanded them, the early church practiced them, and they powerfully reenact the story of our salvation. They are not just rituals; they are "sacraments" that mark the church and remind us of who we are and whose we are.ConclusionThe sacraments of baptism and communion are God's way of "resetting our clocks" and marking us as His own. Just as the Passover changed the calendar for Israel, meeting Jesus changes everything for us. We leave behind the old, trust God to fight for us, and step into a new identity as His people.Calls to ActionRemember Your Baptism: If you are a believer, recall the moment you "crossed the Red Sea" and left your old life behind.Take Communion in Faith: When you participate in the Lord's Supper, remember the cost of the Lamb and apply His blood to your life by faith.Stand Firm: If you are facing an "impossible" Red Sea situation, hear the word of the Lord: "Do not be afraid. Stand firm... The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still." Support the show*Summaries and transcripts are generated using AI. Please notify us if you find any errors.

In this chilling episode, Fred from Alaska—shares powerful firsthand accounts of the mysterious being known locally as the “Hairy Man.” Speaking with calm certainty and cultural grounding, Fred explains that these encounters aren't isolated legends or personal oddities; they're a long-standing reality for many First Nations families across the region, passed down through lived experience as much as oral tradition.Fred recounts his own unnerving experiences alongside stories from relatives who have faced the Hairy Man in remote stretches of Alaska. One standout moment takes place near a quiet pond, where what begins as an ordinary day turns deeply unsettling when the creature reveals itself—displaying awareness, strategy, and an intelligence that feels deliberate rather than animalistic.The episode then shifts to an even more harrowing hunting camp encounter: nighttime disturbances, unseen movement in the treeline, and a mounting sense of being watched culminate in a terrifying confrontation that leaves no doubt the group was being targeted and tested.Throughout the conversation, Fred emphasizes respect for the land, the people who live closest to it, and the beings that may share it. He calls on more Alaskans—especially Indigenous voices who have kept these stories quietly within families—to come forward. By gathering and comparing accounts, Fred believes we can better understand the patterns, behavior, and purpose of these encounters, and maybe finally bring clarity to one of Alaska's most enduring mysteries.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

Today, they're one of the largest Christian populations in Indonesia, with over 6 million believers. The transformation happened because someone, a German missionary named Ludwig Nommensen, decided their spiritual poverty was unacceptable. That was 190 years ago. Today, 4,473 people groups are still waiting for their Ludwig Nommensen moment. The People Group Adoption Program launches today, and here's how it works: It meets you where you are. You're not being asked to become a missionary in the field (though if God calls you to that, we'll cheer you on). You're being invited to use your current gifts, prayer, advocacy, networking, research to support those who are already called to go.

In this lively Ask Away session, Rabbi Wolbe clarified that the Talmudic category of “idolater” (akum) in kosher laws refers to any non-Jew who does not share our Torah values and meticulous concern for kashrut – today that includes Muslims, Christians, atheists, etc. – not just literal idol-worshippers; the laws were never about hating non-Jews but about protecting Jewish standards and limiting excessive social intimacy. He also explained that giving flowers to one's wife (or girlfriend when seriously dating toward marriage) is not only permitted but strongly encouraged by the Rambam, Shulchan Aruch, Rav Moshe Feinstein, and virtually all contemporary Poskim – because it creates shalom bayit and expresses love; flowers are never placed on Jewish graves (we use stones to symbolize permanence of the soul), but for a living spouse they are a beautiful, halachically praised gift that says “I thought about you.”On deeper topics, Rabbi Wolbe taught that true bitachon and saying “Gam zu l'tovah” do not cancel out tears or heartfelt prayer – tears are always welcome and open Heaven's gates; bitachon simply means we reaffirm that even the pain is ultimately for our good. He addressed inter-movement rabbinic courts by explaining that authentic halachic authority requires (1) belief that the Torah is divine and (2) personal observance of that Torah – without those foundations, rulings lack legitimacy in traditional Judaism. Finally, he stressed that flying (or any long-distance travel) on Shabbat is prohibited due to multiple biblical and rabbinic violations, and Shabbat is meant for spiritual connection, not vacation-style activities like swimming or horseback riding.Please submit your questions at askaway@torchweb.org_____________The Everyday Judaism Podcast is dedicated to learning, understanding and appreciating the greatness of Jewish heritage and the Torah through the simplified, concise study of Halacha, Jewish Law, thereby enhancing our understanding of how Hashem wants us to live our daily lives in a Jewish way._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Marshall & Doreen LernerDownload & Print the Everyday Judaism Halacha Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RL-PideM42B_LFn6pbrk8MMU5-zqlLG5This episode (Ep. #73) of the Everyday Judaism Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH is dedicated to my dearest friends, Marshall & Doreen Lerner!

The Human Equation with Joe Pangaro – In many ways, holiday movies serve as bridges between generations. Grandparents may prefer classics like Miracle on 34th Street, while younger family members gravitate toward modern comedies. Watching these films together creates opportunities for conversation, laughter, and shared appreciation. It is a reminder that traditions are not static—they grow, adapt, and...

In this episode we will: Define important terms used in the religious world today Consider examples of traditions in the Bible and see if they are acceptable to God Look at general traditions of men in religions today Examine the Lord's church that we read about in the Bible biblequestions.org

In his second cookbook, “Turtle Island: Foods and Traditions of the Indigenous Peoples of North America,” Sean Sherman (Oglala Lakota), James Beard Award-wining chef and restaurateur, dives deeper into the Indigenous culinary communities of 13 regions of North America and Mesoamerica. He shares dozens of recipes inspired by his travels and the people he calls friends, teachers, and leaders that he encounters along the way. Pyet DeSpain (Prairie Band Potawatomi) was already familiar with traditional everyday foods like frybread, meat pies, and corn soup growing up on the Osage reservation in Oklahoma. And on the Mexican side of her family, tamales, pozole, and atole were a staple. Now a well-known and award-winning chef, DeSpain is sharing that fusion of Native and Mexican cuisine and heritage in her debut cookbook, “Rooted in Fire: A Celebration of Native American and Mexican Cooking.”

Send us a textWith a recent video - not sure if it's fake or real - that's going viral on socials of a massive, mythic bird - had to know more about thunderbirds. We called hydroplanes that raced on the Columbia River thunderbirds for their massive roar and crazy wake. There were hotels named Thunderbird Lodge in Washington state, too. And I grew up a Seahawks fan whose logo is a riff and a nod to the mighty thunderbird as depicted on Northwest tribe totems. The thunderbird means something different to each tribe, and tribe member.

Thanksgiving gets a full roast this episode as we dive into the annual paradox of expressing gratitude while elbowing strangers for the last can of cranberry sauce. We swap stories about chaotic grocery runs, family traditions that include creatively vandalizing greeting cards, and the unspoken rule that certain topics are banned at dinner unless you want to watch Uncle Larry spontaneously combust. We tackle the spiritual mystery of why Thanksgiving and Black Friday sit next to each other on the calendar like a wholesome nun sharing a bunk bed with a pickpocket. There’s also talk of buffet lines, questionable food preferences, holiday decorating schedules that start before the dishes are washed, and the alarming number of Pop-Tart flavors that should not exist. Basically, it’s a lighthearted stroll through the commercialization of gratitude season, where everyone insists they’re thankful while also fighting for parking spots like it’s the Hunger Games.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! It's the kickoff to the main season of Christmas Past. What better way to get things going than with a cozy gathering around the fire for some old fashioned storytelling? Today, I'm back with a ghost story for Christmas. In "Lucky's Grove," when a Christmas tree is selected from a mysterious grove, strange and tragic events follow. Thanks to my friends at Biblioasis for once again giving me the opportunity to share this year's set of ghost stories with you.

In this special holiday episode of the Building Better Foundations season of the Building Better Developers Podcast, hosts Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche pause their usual deep-dive discussions to share meaningful Thanksgiving reflections for developers. This annual tradition goes beyond technology and process—it centers on gratitude, growth, and the people who shape our journeys. Why Thanksgiving Reflections for Developers Matter Even though the recording takes place before the holiday, the episode releases just as listeners gather for Thanksgiving. Rob's signature "gobble gobble" sound kicks things off, marking another year of stepping back to appreciate the wins, the lessons, and the relationships that make the development life meaningful. Thanksgiving reflections for developers remind us that progress isn't just code—it's community, resilience, and perspective. Two Sides of the Year: Thanksgiving Reflections for Developers Rob begins with a candid look at a year of downsizing, simplifying, and major life changes. The process has been exhausting but also freeing—removing clutter, shifting priorities, and making room for what matters most. Michael shares his own version of growth: completing a massive project, evolving his consulting business into a full-fledged software company, and learning hard lessons through the transition. The challenges brought long hours and stress, but they also delivered clarity and direction for the future. These Thanksgiving reflections for developers capture a familiar truth: every challenge is a stepping stone. Gratitude for People: Core Thanksgiving Reflections for Developers Both hosts highlight the importance of people above all else. Rob's Reflections Gratitude for his RB Consulting team—developers, project managers, and early-career talent who have grown tremendously. Appreciation for the relationships built over years of collaboration. Joy in mentoring and watching team members evolve into seasoned professionals. Michael's Reflections Deep appreciation for his wife and family, who supported him through 100-hour workweeks. Gratitude for friendships and the podcast partnership with Rob. Reflection on his soon-to-end team at Chase, and thankfulness for the journey they shared. The strongest Thanksgiving reflections for developers are always about people—not projects. Technology and Connection: Modern Thanksgiving Reflections for Developers Rob notes how technology has made it possible to work from almost anywhere—thanks to wireless tools, remote access, and communication platforms like Zoom and FaceTime. Michael adds that technology is powerful when used for real connection—not just scrolling or posting, but collaborating, calling, and being present with others. These Thanksgiving reflections for developers highlight a key truth: tech connects us, but only if we use it intentionally. Traditions and Joy: Lighthearted Thanksgiving Reflections for Developers The episode also brings fun holiday traditions into the conversation: Holiday football (Detroit Lions as always) Tennessee weather unpredictability The release of the final season of Stranger Things Sci-fi inspirations like Spielberg and Lucas These lighthearted moments remind us that gratitude isn't just serious—it's joy, nostalgia, and shared experiences. Community Appreciation: Final Thanksgiving Reflections for Developers The hosts close with heartfelt thanks to the podcast community. Listener stories, project successes, and feedback fuel the show's mission to help developers grow, improve, and thrive. "Go out into the world and be thankful." — Building Better Developers Podcast Thanksgiving Reflections for Developers: Build Better Foundations This Thanksgiving episode delivers a warm reminder that building better developers begins with building better foundations of gratitude—for people, for opportunities, for growth, and for technology that keeps us connected. From Rob and Michael: Happy Thanksgiving—and stay thankful. Stay Connected: Join the Developreneur Community We invite you to join our community and share your coding journey with us.

Wednesday evening message from Pastor CJ Elwood. November 26, 2025

Thanksgiving gets a full roast this episode as we dive into the annual paradox of expressing gratitude while elbowing strangers for the last can of cranberry sauce. We swap stories about chaotic grocery runs, family traditions that include creatively vandalizing greeting cards, and the unspoken rule that certain topics are banned at dinner unless you want to watch Uncle Larry spontaneously combust. We tackle the spiritual mystery of why Thanksgiving and Black Friday sit next to each other on the calendar like a wholesome nun sharing a bunk bed with a pickpocket. There’s also talk of buffet lines, questionable food preferences, holiday decorating schedules that start before the dishes are washed, and the alarming number of Pop-Tart flavors that should not exist. Basically, it’s a lighthearted stroll through the commercialization of gratitude season, where everyone insists they’re thankful while also fighting for parking spots like it’s the Hunger Games.

2022-10-31 - Vain Traditions： Mark 7_1-23 [N-Dm1wWxpp4] by Salvador Flores III

Matt Jones and Drew Franklin discuss their traditions for Thanksgiving and football. The Cowboys and Lions make this year's games fantastic. The Panthers streak of winning the toss and winning the game comes to an end against the 49ers. Joe Burrow returns for the Bengals, but Matt isn't sure if it's the right decision. How have the new kickoff rules helped Titans WR Chimere Dike lead the league in all purpose yards? Matt and Drew look at the early mock drafts and where the Titans will be picking. Could WR George PIckens be one of the best trades ever after his performance in Dallas? What should you expect in the 2nd start from Shedeur Sanders? The Bucs got good news on Baker Mayfield's injury. JJ McCarthy could be sidelined for the Vikings. The Giants continue to make changes after another 4th quarter loss. Matt recaps the festivities around the John Madden Thanksgiving before revealing their picks for the three games of the day. What is the timeline for your Thanksgiving? Plus, we wrap up with the Survivor and TD Parlay picks.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's the most wonderful, and overwhelming, time of the year. In this episode, we're sharing our unfiltered take on surviving the holidays with your sanity (and spirit) intact. From blow-up lawn decorations to curated gift wrap trends, we unpack the pressure we all feel to make the holidays "perfect," and how to reclaim the magic without losing your mind. If your traditions feel more stressful than sacred this year, this one's for you.    Organizations we love and support: Roof Above Room In The Inn Second Harvest Food Bank | 100% of the proceeds from our Thanksgiving Day classes go to Second Harvest Food Bank!   Some ways to stay sane during the holidays include: Let go of perfection. Traditions evolve! Make your own rules, whether it's gift bags or glitter bombs. Look for the magic. Even the smallest gestures can create warmth, wonder, and memories that matter. Make space for both joy and grief. The holidays can be hard. Honor your real experience and invite others into it. Keep caring for your body. Movement, meals, and mindfulness aren't extras… they're your anchor. Give what you can. Presence, kindness, and small acts of service are powerful gifts.  

Thanksgiving may bring to mind turkey and family gatherings, but its true origin carries a far deeper meaning. Which got me thinking, “what exactly was happening in the lives of the pilgrims when they decided to have the first Thanksgiving?” The answer surprised me. I knew the basics, of course, but there was so much more! In this episode, we look back to 1621 and the remarkable resilience of the pilgrims, who paused to give thanks after a devastating winter that claimed half their community. Their gratitude wasn’t born from ease—it rose from loss, perseverance, and unwavering hope. This is a great episode to listen to with your family or all by yourself. Join me as we rediscover the heart of Thanksgiving and learn how practicing true gratitude can reshape our own lives.

Incredibly, Tom hadn't had a drink in over nine years when he joined AA. He was "dry", but his behavior during those years was every bit as alcoholic as if he'd been drinking the whole time. Growing up in a very dysfunctional home, Tom's early life was fraught with daily fear, shame, and lack of direction. His years in the army during the Viet Nam war and his early business career were soaked in alcohol and abhorrent behavior. By the time he was married and had two young children, Tom's bitter and self-righteous temperment had recreated the same kind of toxic environment in which he'd grown up. As Tom's burgeoning alcoholism was fracturing his marriage and family, he somehow managed stopped drinking. However, his dry years provided little relief from the madness. He found himself living on a miserable decline in mind, body, and spirit. The suggestion that he join AA, despite being dry, finally struck a responsive chord in his otherwise demoralized life and he started to attend meetings. Tom's tenuous hold on the Program eventually became a tighter grip on all of the tenets necessary to live an AA-enriched life, including regular meetings, prayer and meditation, and unceasing service work. Tom has always stated his sobriety date as the day he entered AA, rather than the date he stopped drinking. This important difference between simply being dry and staying sober in AA has been well-demonstrated by Tom over the years. I've personally heard him share those differences with newcomers in countless meetings we've attended. His is an important message that needs reemphasis whenever alcoholics consider just getting dry in lieu of getting sober. The many gifts in Tom's life since sobriety are proof-positive of the power of a spiritually-centered and active Program. As you listen to his story on today's AA Recovery Interviews podcast, I believe you'll be moved to truly appreciate what a life of sobriety looks like compared to a life of just staying dry. So, please relax and enjoy the next hour of AA Recovery Interviews with my dear friend and AA brother, Tom W. If you've enjoyed my AA Recovery Interviews series, have a listen to “Alcoholics Anonymous: The Story of How More Than One Hundred Men Have Recovered From Alcoholism”. This is the word-for-word, cover-to-cover reading of the First Edition of the Big Book, published in 1939. It's a comfortable, meaningful, and engaging way to listen to the Big Book anytime, anyplace. Have a free listen at Audible, i-Tunes, or Amazon. I also invite you to check out my latest audio book, Lost Stories of the Big Book, 30 Original Stories Missing from the 3rd and 4th Editions of Alcoholics Anonymous. It's an engaging audiobook I narrated to bring these stories to life for AA members who've never seen them. These timeless testimonials were originally cut to make room for newer stories in the 3rd and 4th Editions. But their vitally important messages of hope are as meaningful today as when they were first published. Many listeners will hear these stories for the first time. Lost Stories of the Big Book is available on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes. It's also available as a Kindle book and in Paperback from Amazon if you'd like to read along with the audio.

Join Dr. Shine on What's Your Shine? The Happy Podcast for a heartwarming conversation with Scott Stevens—affectionately nicknamed "Mr. Christmas." With his tall, jolly presence and deep love for holiday traditions, Scott embodies the spirit of the season, making him the perfect guest to revisit as we enter the most festive time of year. In this special episode, Scott reflects on how childhood experiences shaped his enduring love for the holidays, and how he continues to pass those traditions down through his family. From the magic of discovering a long-awaited drum set on Christmas morning, to the quirky tradition of Mexican food on Christmas Eve, Scott shows us that it's not about money or extravagance—it's about creating rituals that build connection and lasting memories. Together, he and Dr. Shine dive into the power of traditions and rituals as carriers of family values. Whether it's stockings filled with Lifesavers, trees decorated with travel ornaments, or evenings spent around a backyard fire, Scott reminds us that the true gift of the season lies in togetherness and generosity. He also shares how his family blends cultures—celebrating both Christmas and Hanukkah—and how these celebrations reflect the joy of inclusion and belonging. This conversation is more than a nostalgic look at holiday cheer—it's an invitation to reflect on the rituals in your own life. What traditions anchor your family? What values are you passing down? And how might you create experiences that bring joy not only to your home but to others in your community? Key Topics: How childhood experiences shape lifelong traditions Passing values through rituals and celebrations The magic of blending cultures during the holidays Simple, meaningful ideas for creating connection this season Why traditions matter more than perfection Revisit this joyful episode and be inspired to make your holidays less about rushing—and more about meaning, memory, and magic.

Ever wonder what was actually served at the very first Thanksgiving? Much of what we learned in school doesn't hold up. In this special bonus holiday episode, we unpack some of the most surprising — and misunderstood — moments in Thanksgiving history. We start with a beloved modern ritual: the presidential turkey pardon. It's a quirky White House tradition with roots that go all the way back to the 1800s. I reveal how this annual ceremony really began and why it stuck. ⁠https://www.whitehousehistory.org/questions/which-president-started-the-tradition-of-pardoning-the-thanksgiving-turkey Then we dive into the truth behind that famous 1621 feast shared by the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag. What did they actually eat? And what parts of our holiday table didn't appear until centuries later? My guest Leslie Landrigan, author of Historic Thanksgiving Foods: And the People who Cooked Them, 1607 to 1955 (⁠https://amzn.to/4i32IkP), helps untangle myth from history. Finally, why are we talking about “Jingle Bells” in a Thanksgiving episode? Because the song wasn't written for Christmas at all — it was a Thanksgiving tune. I share the surprising backstory behind this holiday crossover classic. https://www.bu.edu/articles/2016/jingle-bells-history/ PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!
