This year, it will not be in front of a live audience. Instead, it was put on film and opens in theaters, Friday November 20th.

Are you in the mood for a simple Christmas? In this episode, I have a phone interview with author Nancy Carey Johnson and talk about her book “The Vermont Homesteader’s Christmas Memories”. We talk about her book, homesteading, Christmas music, pets and we share heartwarming stories of family, friends, and Jolly the Christmas dog. It’s a conversation you won’t want to miss! And her book is full of many more wonderful stories.
Gracie and I have a chat about our hopes for Thanksgiving… she wants to see her Grandma and Grandpa, and I want to eat my weight in stuffing and turkey.
Then for our story, I read a couple of poems. “Christmas Carol” by Paul Laurence Dunbar, and “War Time Christmas” by World War I poet Joyce Kilmer.

I’m not usually your go-to source for new movies. But this one is worth your time. The Christmas Ride is a mumblecore (improvised dialogue) film about a ride share driver getting an emotional gut punch on Christmas day. I talked to the producer/director Stefanie Davis, and I hope you’ll check it out.
Here’s the trailer for a taste:
You can stream it from Amazon (free with Prime) and Vimeo:
Cool people!

Reindeer are essential to Santa’s mission. Santa simply cannot be Santa without his reindeer.
But what do you really know about them?
The late arrival of Santa’s reindeer to the North Pole in 2020 has caused lots of mail to arrive at the North Pole with questions about Santa’s reindeer. People want to know more about them, what they like and don’t like, how they learn to fly and how many reindeer Santa actually has.
Elf Crash Murphy has a special place in the work of Santa because, like Santa, he flies around the world every Christmas in a sleigh pulled by reindeer. Crash is North Pole Radio News’ eye in the sky reporter, whose job it is to follow Santa every Christmas and to report on what Santa is doing. Crash knows not only the reindeer of Santa’s sleigh but also of his own sleigh and he knows a lot about them.
In this special episode Crash shares some things we guarantee you have never heard about the reindeer. In this episode we learn new things about Rudolph, Vixen and Cupid.
Crash also dispels some bad information out there about reindeer, things that are conveyed in books, movies and songs about reindeer that just are not true.
You don’t want to miss this episode if you are curious about reindeer.

In today’s episode, listener Mackenzie shares a memory of her Black Friday tradition. Then I interview author CJ Livingstone of the new Christmas book “Santa, Inc.” We talk about his book, Christmas, and the power of kindness. Finally, I read Louisa May Alcott’s story “Tilly’s Christmas” which continues the theme of showing the power of kindness.
