Choosing Love Over Fear: Wrapping Up Christmas 2023 with guest Robert Peterpaul

Merry Christmas! This is my Christmas episode, out a few days late I know - but Christmas is a season, not just a day, right?

Today I wrap up season 4 and Christmas 2023 with the kindness guru himself - Robert Peterpaul, host of the Art of Kindness Podcast, returns to talk about Christmas, the importance of showing kindness (love over fear for the win!) - and we digress into one of the most interesting conversations I've ever had about A Christmas Carol. And if that wasn't enough for you, it's a good thing this episode is supersized! We also gush about our amazing spouses, our fur babies, and more. Then I end the episode by reading a selection from A Christmas Carol.

This has been a great year for the podcast, but it's also been a long one. So I'll be taking a few extra weeks off from the podcast to rest, travel, and spend time with family. I'll see you again in late January as we'll begin Season 5!

Until then, let's remember to honor Christmas in our hearts, and try to keep it all the year.

Christmas at Thompson Hall, Part 3: A Christmas Story by Anthony Trollope

It's Christmas Eve! The best day of the year. To help you celebrate, here is the final parts to our story this month, "Christmas at Thompson Hall" by Anthony Trollope. I rearranged my publication schedule a little bit and decided to combine the last two parts into one episode. I've had a lot of episodes come out this week, and didn't want to clog up your podcast feed TOO much. If you're interested in listening to the whole story, here are the links:

I know it says there will be 4 parts, but it's just 3. Sorry for any confusion!

Alright, I will have one more Christmas episode out on December 27th. Yes it will be two days after Christmas, but that's ok. Christmas is a season, not just a day!

I hope you enjoy our story today!

Christmas at Thompson Hall: A Christmas Story by Anthony Trollope, Part 1 of 4

Can you believe Christmas will be here in only two weeks!!?? To help you celebrate the season, this month I will be reading the story "Christmas at Thompson Hall" by Anthony Trollope. It was first published in the magazine 'The Graphic' in their Christmas issue in 1876.

In the first part of the story, Mrs. Brown and a reluctant Mr. Brown are traveling to see Mrs. Brown's family at Thompson Hall for Christmas. On their journey, Mr. Brown decides to break up their trip and stay in a hotel because he's not feeling well... (definitely was the man flu!). The well-meaning (and slightly peeved) Mrs. Brown decides to try and prepare him a mustard poultice... what could possibly go wrong?

Make sure to subscribe so you won't miss a single episode of this funny and heartwarming story, Christmas at Thompson Hall!

From Nicholas to Christmas: a heartwarming story of kindness - an interview with author Kyle Poehls

My guest today is Kyle Poehls. He is a Marine Corps veteran whose life took a dramatic turn after surviving two comas during his military service. Born in 1985, he found his passion for writing in the final years of his service, and despite facing numerous seizures and another coma just before his planned exit, he persevered. In March of 2017, he began crafting "From Nicholas to Christmas", a tale about the early life of Santa Claus. Today, with a reinvigorated outlook on life, he embodies the belief that every day should be lived as if it were the last.

In today's episode Kyle walks us through his journey, and how his severe health scares inspired him to take a chance and get his book out into the world. It's a powerful story that you won't want to miss! We also talk about our favorite movies, music and more. It's a conversation that ranges from children's stories to Die Hard (Yes we think it's a Christmas movie, NO, we are not going to rehash all the arguments) to Home Alone 2 and the best character in that movie (New York City).

My past couple of guests have both served in the military. After my conversation with Kyle, I reflect a few moments on the Pearl Harbor anniverary, the fear of war, and the necessity to treat each other with kindness and human dignity.

Why is Our Christmas Tree Upside Down? An interview with author Tyler G. Mitchell

Hello everyone! Happy December - we made it to the Christmas month! Today, I have a special guest on the show. His name is Tyler Mitchell, and he wrote a new children's book called "Double Trouble and the Upside Down Christmas Tree". The book is based on a true story: "This is a Christmas story about a young family with three children, two of whom are twin toddlers who are experts at getting into trouble. This is especially true when it comes to their Christmas tree, prompting their dad to get creative and hang it from the ceiling to keep their little hands off it. The oldest son, eight, recounts the chaos that occurred before the tree hung from the ceiling. But does Santa deliver presents to homes with an upside-down Christmas tree?"

The book not only tells a fun story, but it also teaches kids the value of being helpful to their parents - especially around the Christmas season!

Tyler and I talk about his inspiration in writing this story as well as we chat about our favorite Christmas foods, movies, memories and traditions.

His book is currently sold out on Amazon and B&N, but if you go to https://store.bookbaby.com/book/double-trouble-and-the-upside-down-christmas-tree you can order it there, and use coupon code Save30 at checkout for 30% off!

Hello! Happy Christmas Podcast Day everyone! As all of us at the Christmas Podcast Network are talking about some of our favorite versions of A Christmas Carol, today I am going to look at a stage version - specifically I want to talk about how Charles Dickens performed a one man version of the novel, and how that carries on today through his Great Great Grandson, Gerald Dickens. I replay some clips from my interview with Gerald back in December 2020 where he talked about how he began to perform the Carol 30 years ago. I recommend you go and take a listen to the full episode!

Christmas is Ever-Changing: an interview with Ken Smith from the North Pole News Dispatch

In today's episode, my guest is Ken Smith from the North Pole News Dispatch! He's made his way down from Santa's village to talk to us about his Christmas memories and stories, his podcast, Christmas PJs (No pictures available, sorry! LOL!), and of course - the weather!

While Ken was reflecting on how Christmas has changed for him over the years, I realized that was a good title for the episode. We both talked about things that have changed, and things that remain the same. But even though how we celebrate might change over the years, one thing remains the same: Christmas is best celebrated with your friends and family!

Christmas Storms and Sunshine: A Victorian Holiday Story by Elizabeth Gaskell

In this heartwarming episode of "The Cozy Christmas Podcast," we invite you to gather 'round and experience the magic of a classic Victorian Christmas tale. Join us as we delve into Elizabeth Gaskell's enchanting story, "Christmas Storms and Sunshine," where we explore the true spirit of the season.

Set in a quaint English village, we follow the journey of a young family who, for too long, harbored grudges against their neighbors. Will a near-disaster during the holiday season prompt a transformation in their hearts? Mrs. Gaskell's classic tale offers us a lesson of reconciliation, community, and the power of Christmas goodwill. It's a story that reminds us all that even in the coldest of winters, the warmth of our hearts can melt away any frosty disputes and lead us to a more harmonious, joy-filled holiday season.

"We Don't Sing to Impress, We Sing to Inspire" A Christmas Conversation with Grace!

Hello everyone, Happy October! In today's episode I sit down with my daughter Grace and we catch up on life. Find out what she's been up to this past year and how school is going for her now that she is in 9th grade. But of course, we do talk about Christmas - I find out she has some hot takes on gingerbread and which Grinch movie she prefers; we talk about who is the hardest and easiest person in our family to Christmas shop for; and then she shares some thoughts on how to show kindness during the Christmas season.

Then I read a beautiful Christmas letter sent in by a listener. She wrote it to her children and it's entitled "Christmas Keeper" - and I hope that you or someone in your family is the official Keeper of Christmas!

In my family, it's probably me...
