1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Welcome to the start of season 2! In today's episode, I share with you what has been keeping me in the Christmas mood (hint: snow, cookies, and music); Then I share an email from our listener Rick who writes to tell about his favorite Christmas movies - and he has some shocking and very strict guidelines on what counts as a Christmas movie. Then, I read the Christmas chapter from Charles Dickens' first novel, The Pickwick Papers. Grab a cup of hot cocoa and come on in by the fire!
