Merry Christmas, folks! Here in Wisconsin, we are experiencing an odd holiday season. For the first time in my life, Christmas is being celebrated in 50-degree weather and without a snowflake on the ground; that does not happen here! To add to the unusualness, my family is spending their Christmas in Arizona, and Kristin's side is celebrating with us on the 29th, leaving Tonkie and me back home to spend ours however we want. It gave us a great excuse to keep Christmas Day quiet this year. We will be cozied up in the living room with coffees and have Willie Nelson's Christmas Hits album playing in the background. Tonkie is making BBQ beef ribs for our holiday dinner; my mouth is watering thinking about it. But before we get to all that, I wanted to sit down behind the mic this morning and reflect on what makes this season so magical, the prep work that goes into making this holiday come together, and why it is so important to embrace Christmas Spirit to fully appreciate a day like today. To the listener, I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday! Stay safe and eat well. 2023 is almost wrapped up, so let's end this year on a great note. Thanks for tuning in, and have a Merry Christmas!
