How About A Story

In the spirit of the holidays I would like to share some Christmas cheer and share a few holiday stories. If you are enjoying these stories please subscribe on your favorite podcast player. I will be sharing three Christmas tales the last being the spookiest.

Today our author shares with us how her latino family celebrates Christmas using the rhythms of a famous Christmas rhyme. So gather round my friends grab you hot coco or beverage of choice and let’s enter into  Roseanne Greenfield Thong world of words this is ‘Twas Nochebuena a Christmas Story in English and Spanish.

Thank you so much for listening. If you wanna get your hand on a copy of this wonderful book it is ‘Twas Nochebuena by Roseanne Greenfield Thong. 

Come back tomorrow to hear the classic poem  'Twas The Night Before Christmas by Clement Clark Moore.

As we enter into this Thanksgiving Day my hope is that we remember the native peoples of this country and the turmoil they face to this day. May we see what they see and hear what they hear. Before I go any further  “I want to respectfully acknowledge the Kizh and Tongva People, who have stewarded this land that I currently live on throughout the generations.” Todays I want to share Chief Jake Swamp words with you, this is Giving Thanks: A Native American Good Morning Message.

For more information about the stewards of the land you live on you can head to https://usdac.us/ The United States Department of Arts and Culture. They have #HonorNativeLand Guide to help you better understand the plight of Indigenous People around the globe.
