  • Wishing You Have A N.E.A.T. Christmas
    Episode 22 - Wishing You Have A N.E.A.T. Christmas Merry Christmas to all! Stephanie is extremely excited this week and for good reason. It is Christmas and there's much to celebrate.  The Christmas music, the beautiful decorations, the presents and all that delicious food (especially sweets) which, as it turns out, Stephanie can not say no to. And why even try?! It only happens once a year and Stephanie has a solution anyway. So listen up. N.E.A.T. is the acronym mostly used around her home and here at the production studio. YES! Finally something we can all do this time of year that won't completely stress us out...something we barely even need to think about at all because it comes so natural to us. Non Exercise Activity Thermogenesis - Yes...hard to say so just use that good 'ol acronym...N.E.A.T.  Fidget, pace, stand, reach, gesture, make that extra, but needed, trip to the mall and you've got the idea behind N.E.A.T. So you absolutely know what to do by now...get that hot cup of tea, or perhaps cocoa, and settle in but this time turn your head from side to side, pet your cat, who we know is on your lap and fidget every once in awhile. Ahhh, now you've got the hang of it! You're doing your N.E.A.T. for the day and you know it feels good! Yes it does! Remember the Christmas Contest! Questions are found in episode 20. CONTEST RULES You must answer all three of the questions that are in this episode correctly (the answers can be found in past holiday episodes) AND write a review on iTunes to be eligible to win one of the three prizes in our RANDOM drawing. Please submit your answers to the questions and the name you used for the iTunes review BY DEC. 23, 2016 to our email address: [email protected] That's it! Easy-Peezy! Good Luck!

  • The "Yule Log" - New York's Christmas Morning Favorite
    Episode 21 - The "Yule Log" - New York's Christmas Morning Favorite YES! We are getting closer to Christmas Day and Stephanie is getting more and more excited. In this episode Stephanie explains a New York Christmas tradition...the "Yule Log" that aired 4 hours on WPIX Channel 11 every Christmas morning. If you don't know about this regional favorite...well...you are not alone. Stephanie goes into what, where, why and how the "Yule Log" actually began and why New Yorker's love it so much. There's so much to love in this Christmas tradition. Yes there is!  *Special Note - Stephanie also wants to give some musicians who play great Christmas music a voice, if you will, on these Christmas episodes. They are so fantastic and rightly deserve recognition. That is why on the past few episodes there has been Christmas music from some wonderful musicians found on http://freemusicarchive.org Check it out! So go now and grab your slippers, your favorite hot beverage and cozy up to this episode about the "Yule Log". Then on Christmas Day turn on the tube or computer and stare dreamily into the fiery embers.  You'll thank Stephanie later.  Remember the Christmas Contest! Questions are found in episode 20.

    Episode 20 - YES! The Holidays And Our 20th! Ahhh...here we are at our Big 2-0! Talk, Tales and Trivia turns 20 this episode and to celebrate we have a contest! Woot-Woot! Stephanie is so exciting because, well, she loves spreading good cheer and she loves contests (although she readily admits that she has never won a contest, boo-hoo). This episode is all about the 1964 stop-motion animation "Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer". Well, we all know the story...but do we really?! Hmmm... This brings back warm, fuzzy memories for Stephanie as she tells a tale of her own when she was practically a baby. Shhh, let's not talk about THAT. So, you know what to do, right? Get those p.j.'s on, a steaming cup of (insert your favorite beverage here)________ and snuggle in for this episode and then watch "Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer". You know that feels cozy!
