Speaker 1: happy holidays all around. We're here for you here really,
Speaker 1: Holidays everybody, to everybody who just celebrated Hanukah, everyone who's
Speaker 1: celebrating Christmas today, everyone who's celebrating Clansa tomorrow. There's so
Speaker 1: much merriment to be made season at joy. I mean,
Speaker 1: I like like pagan um rituals were like with winter Solstice.
Speaker 1: It's just me that we get to shut down, guys,
Speaker 1: we get to like shut down. I love it, and
Speaker 1: it's fun to have a melting pot of all of
Speaker 1: our different traditions. What are you guys doing this Christmas? Um? Okay,
Speaker 1: so I'm probably going to stay here and just nest
Speaker 1: in my new house. Um. I I celebrate Christmas and
Speaker 1: it's a it's my favorite holiday. It's a meaningful holiday
Speaker 1: for me um as a Christian. I just it's a
Speaker 1: beautiful time for me to really like recenter myself, which
Speaker 1: I just love, um the excuse to be able to
Speaker 1: do that, because it's just so busy and you know,
Speaker 1: we're all rushing around and trying to make sure we
Speaker 1: have gifts for everyone, which is so lovely, and but
Speaker 1: I get caught up in it also, Um, it's nice
Speaker 1: to have a reason to just settle and get quiet.
Speaker 1: And what do you guys like to do for your holidays?
Speaker 1: I feel like with the pandemic, we weren't allowed to
Speaker 1: follow a lot of our typical traditions for a long time,
Speaker 1: and so our family has traditionally gone to astor house
Speaker 1: here in rhyin Beck and hung out with the kids
Speaker 1: still live there, and like it's dorky stuff, you know,
Speaker 1: like we wear goofy slippers and we sing songs and
Speaker 1: we read books and it's super cute and then like
Speaker 1: my so important. My favorite favorite thing to do on
Speaker 1: you on Christmas Eve is find like a local churches. Um,
Speaker 1: like nativity play. I love like community theater play. I'll
Speaker 1: go anywhere if I can see some and the sting,
Speaker 1: but I love it. There was a church in Wilmington's
Speaker 1: that would let all the kids in the congregation um
Speaker 1: be in the play and like there's three donkeys and
Speaker 1: there's three sheep. But then the little kids could dress
Speaker 1: up as anything they wanted, so there was like Scooby
Speaker 1: Doo and a t Rex and like literally any animal
Speaker 1: they wanted to be. I think I just like the
Speaker 1: community involvement of the holiday season. That's my favor everything. Yeah,
Speaker 1: me too. I think what I love is, you know,
Speaker 1: to your point about following nature is slowing down. I
Speaker 1: love hibernation season, being inside earlier, lighting a fire, you know,
Speaker 1: making slower meals, having earlier dinner times with friends and family.
Speaker 1: Like there's something about coming in and being cozy and
Speaker 1: slow that I love about this season and easier. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and and I mean, you know, the sun goes down
Speaker 1: so much earlier. I'm tired earlier. I feel like I
Speaker 1: feel like there's permission to catch up on rest. And
Speaker 1: one of the things I love so much, you know,
Speaker 1: growing up in a family that celebrated Hanukah and Christmas
Speaker 1: is the permission to learn what's important to people. That's
Speaker 1: really what that gave to me. You know, having to
Speaker 1: holidays in our home meant that I got really curious
Speaker 1: about other people's holidays and other traditions, and so for me,
Speaker 1: it became really special to to dig into other spaces,
Speaker 1: you know, whether that was learning about Quanza, whether that
Speaker 1: was taking a you know, a year to study Eastern
Speaker 1: philosophy or a year of Islamic study in high school.
Speaker 1: Like really learning about where people find a belief has
Speaker 1: helped me see what I think is sort of the
Speaker 1: through line everywhere, and interestingly always brings me back to
Speaker 1: how special nature is to to like really the sacred
Speaker 1: space of where we live on this planet together. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it really just it makes me um want to get
Speaker 1: still and and you know reflect on community on all
Speaker 1: of us like being together, and I think for that reason,
Speaker 1: it's really one of my favorite times of the year.
Speaker 1: I always wanted to celebrate Hanukah, and we never I
Speaker 1: mean my parents weren' Jewish, so they didn't ever do that.
Speaker 1: And I've never had a chance to like the really
Speaker 1: I mean, I've been to a stater and I've been
Speaker 1: to friend's houses for like a day or a night,
Speaker 1: but I've never really down the full what do you do?
Speaker 1: I mean it, you know, it depends now, especially that
Speaker 1: everyone is sort of like older and all over the place.
Speaker 1: We we make sure that we're together at least either
Speaker 1: on the first or the last night. But it is
Speaker 1: really special, especially when you're when you're little, to like
Speaker 1: be with your whole family and have this ritual for
Speaker 1: you days. It's really beautiful. And again I think I
Speaker 1: think the way we all crave like a slowness there,
Speaker 1: there's something so amazing about the routine of it, you know, ceremonially. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the nightly ceremony is really really special. Well, we hope
Speaker 1: wherever you guys are at home, you are with people
Speaker 1: that you love, or you're taking some time for yourself
Speaker 1: and really like enjoying your time. This is a great
Speaker 1: season of reflection and we're so grateful for everything that
Speaker 1: you guys have have given to us and reflected with us.
Speaker 1: You know, that's what our whole shows about. Yeah, when
Speaker 1: we talk about community, you know, that's obviously the three
Speaker 1: of us here, but that's also all of you at
Speaker 1: home with us, and whether you're with family or like
Speaker 1: us three on this zoom, you're chosen family. It's um,
Speaker 1: it's certainly a season that we hope you all feel
Speaker 1: loved and appreciated. Yeah, we love you guys. My prayer
Speaker 1: for all of us is that the God of our
Speaker 1: understanding would speak to us all in a way that
Speaker 1: um inspires us and is encouraging and brings us into
Speaker 1: a new place of peace and joy for the new year.
Speaker 1: There's lots of love and I sure hope for that
Speaker 1: new year. I just gotta say it. I know a
Speaker 1: lot of people really beat up on themselves with New
Speaker 1: Year's resolutions. Oh no, no, no, you know that the
