We love to read Christmas books at SBMX because it helps us feel the spirit of the season all year. Rikki talks with author Coz Green about his book, “Through Santa’s Eyes: Be Less Selfish, Be More Elfish.”
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!
Also, be sure to follow me on my other youtube channel, as I am talking about A Christmas Carol and other related books! https://www.youtube.com/c/ArtBookshelfOdyssey

Author, broadcaster and journalist Bruce Lindsay talks about his Christmas book, based on a family story. And he shares how reading Christmas books to his children is one of his favorite parts of Christmas time.
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.

Hello! Today's episode is pretty straightforward - we finally have the Cozy Christmas Book Club up and running, so I share all the book club news. If you're interested in joining please head over the Cozy Christmas Book Club Page on facebook!
Then I finish reading chapter 1 of the Christmas novella The Chimes by Charles Dickens. In the story today, Trotty hears his daughters news, and deals with 3 very unpleasant people who could really use a visit from a Ghost of Christmas... but since this is actually a New Years story, we'll have to wait and see.

Hello and welcome to the start of season 4! In today's episode I give a few updates and share some news about our new Cozy Christmas Book Club. You can find details on my social media accounts.
The main portion of the episode today, I begin reading Charles Dickens' novella The Chimes. It was released at Christmas time the year after A Christmas Carol was published. It tells the story of Toby Veck and a mysterious encounter he has with some goblins that haunt the church bells...
This novella will be read in parts over the next 8 episodes. Along the way I will have some guests on to chat, news to share, and lots of wonderful cozy books to talk about. I'm so excited to get this new season started - Let's get counting down to Christmas 2023!

In today's episode, we wrap up the 2022 Christmas Season with a cozy Christmas conversation with mystery author Peggy Ehrhart. She is the author of the Knit and Nibble mysteries, and has written several Christmas books for the series. In this episode we talk about her journey to becoming a published author, which includes being a former English professor with a doctorate in Medieval Literature! Then we talk about all the delicious foods one can find in cozy Christmas mysteries, and she walks us through her writing process. Then in the second half of the interview, she takes the Cozy Christmas questionnaire and we find out all about her thoughts on the different Christmas traditions that we know and love. This is a wonderfully cozy way to end the year, and I'm looking forward to beginning season 4 and counting down to Christmas 2023!
Be sure to stick around for January and February - I'll be reading the New Year's set novella, "The Chimes" by Charles Dickens, and I have lots of other fun things planned!

Sue Duffield loves Christmas story books. Today's episode is a compilation of an ebook entitled, "Santa's Greatest Gift - The Truth about Santa's Identity Wrapped in the Spiritual Meaning of Christmas", by Rebecca Gittrick Whitecotton, published by Bright Treasures at www.Smashwords.com. Also, as Christmas stories come and go, there is still nothing like Luke's Gospel, chapter two, read from The Passion Translation. Merry Christmas from all of us here at the Suebiquitous Podcast and Sue Duffield Ministries. Don't EVER let the wonder of Christ's birth and His presence in your life disappear.

It's almost Christmas, and today I want to give you a story and a message for Christmas. I've had a few listeners wondering if I could address some of my thoughts about the religious significance of Christmas. So in today's episode I want to talk about what Christmas means to me, what my faith means to me, and how the two are connected. I also read you a very sweet and inspiring story written by Leo Tolstoy. It's also known as "Simon the Cobbler" and it tells the story of an elderly shoe maker. One day he hears a voice - God - saying that He would come and visit him tomorrow. So that next day Simon gets up and works by his window, looking out at the people and waiting for Christ to arrive. What he sees and does in response is what makes this story a beautiful message of what God's love looks like.
This is a bit more religious than what I usually do on my podcast, but I felt like it was a message I wanted to share, and in some ways needed to share. My hope is that this episode will encourage you to be kind, to do good, and to honor Christmas in your heart, and try to keep it all the year.
From me and my family to all of you, I hope you have a very merry Christmas!
