Sometimes our best intentions go awry... but at least we're making memories!

There's an unwritten rule of podcasting that if your new podcast can make it past the 7th episode, then you're more likely to keep it going for the long haul. Well this is the 7th episode, and the Technical Dragons were running amuck. Fear not! I have defeated them, and I will be back for episode 8. But at least it fits in with the theme of today's podcast: Christmases that don't go exactly as planned...

Christmas Shopping with Jack Benny

This is a bonus episode... kind of. In the next episode I'll be talking more about Old Time Radio and this episode of the Jack Benny program that I'll be sharing with you today, but I thought you might like to hear it in its entirety. So sit back and enjoy as we make our way back to the days of yesteryear...

Christmas in Australia

G'day mate! (Hmmm... do Australians really say that?)

In this episode, Gracie is back and we make a delicious apple pie. Unfortunately we can't share any of it, but you can make one with this recipe: https://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/dutch-apple-pie/815d821f-058d-4177-93be-e157390e947b Pro-cooking tip: Don't forget to preheat your oven! Being the expert chef that I am, I would never do that. Heh.

Then a listener from Australia shares a Christmas memory, and I try (and fail) to list any interesting facts about the land Down Under. I do read a couple of Australia themed stories: a poem called The Aussie Night Before Christmas and then we take a trip with Australian writer Henry Lawson and his piece published in 1907 - "The Ghosts of Many Christmases". Don't worry it's not a ghost story, but rather it's a reflection on the different locations he had celebrated Christmas in his past.
