Friday December 20th, 2019

This time of year comes LOADED with lots of emotions, memories, and significance.

Stay in each moment.

If you are joyful, rejoice.

If you are mourning, mourn with fervor.

Remember that this year holds its own events and a chance to create or add to holiday traditions.

Give yourself the grace you deserve in this time, to be who you are, and in doing so freeing others to be who they are...together.

Christmas Podcast
Alexander Shaia on the Mythic Power of Christmas

On this episode of The RobCast, Rob Bell speaks with author and speaker Alexander Shaia about the roots of modern-day Christmas traditions, its Celtic roots and their connection to the earth and cosmos.

"THIS IS THE POWERFUL MESSAGE OF CHRISTMAS THAT WE NEED AT THIS POINT: THAT THE DEEPEST DARK IS NOT THE PLACE WHERE GRACE GOES TO DIE, THE DEEPEST DARK IS THE PLACE WHERE GRACE GOES TO BE REBORN."
– ALEXANDER SHAIA

Christmas Movie (Classic)
Four Christmases

Y'all, there is a scene in this where Vince Vaughn plays an impromptu role as Joseph in a church advent play...sweet baby Jesus it's incredible.

Christmas Movie (New Release)
Klaus

Loads of animated fun. This is a wonderfully re-imagined telling of the classic tale. I'm a sucker for some fun animation.

Go-To Holiday Cooking Website
The Pioneer Woman

I read her book The Pioneer Woman: Black Heels to Tractor Wheels--a Love Story in 2012 and have followed her rise to stardom.

Song (with accompanying youtube video of the greatest Christmas movie of all time)
That Spirit of Christmas - Ray Charles

This song gets very little play in the Christmas rotation and that's right where I want it. It's special because it's an amazing song, but also triggers the thought of Clark stuck in the attic.
