• 1:14
  Half-Faith Let It Began to my left, as always, my good friend. It's a Monday.
• 1:25
  Dr. E, we're counting down the Christmas days.
• 1:28
  And today, Dr. E, we're going to talk about a very, very important episode, and that is very simple.
• 1:33
  Throughout the holiday seasons, we see the good, the bad, and the ugly.
• 1:37
  Let's try to concentrate on all the good things that happen in our lives.
• 1:41
  Let's try to not allow other people to steal our Christmas joy.
• 1:45
  And you know what I love best about the place we're in right now, Dr. E?
• 1:50
  I love the fact that we can stay Merry Christmas.
• 1:54
  We don't have to say just happy holidays. How are you, my friend?
• 1:59
  God bless you all well, and it's good to see you there holding your beautiful son, Noah.
• 2:04
  And I did have a question for you since it is the holiday season. Go for it.
• 2:09
  Do, does, does, or do the Have Faith, Let It Begin family, do we get the privilege
• 2:16
  and honor of hearing your Christmas peppermint stick?
• 2:21
  Oh, yeah, it's coming up. We got an Ariel's here now.
• 2:24
  We've got the, it's funny you say that. How did you, it's almost like you're
• 2:28
  reading my mind. this year for the first time, and honest to God,
• 2:32
  Dr. E didn't even know this, but for the first time, we're going to be giving
• 2:36
  away the story of the candy cane.
• 2:39
  The candy cane. I'm sorry. That's it. Yes. That's okay. Yeah.
• 2:42
  We have the story of the candy cane and for the first time there will be opportunity
• 2:46
  for people to pick one up. I've got yours already here, my friend.
• 2:49
  And yeah, so we are going to have the Christmas spectacular,
• 2:54
  the story of the candy cane with our very special host, Santa Claus himself.
• 2:58
  I love it. And I wanted to tell you that, you know, we were just got done recording
• 3:02
  the Croc podcast for this coming Sunday.
• 3:04
  And I think we both feel it. The Christmas spirit, the holiday spirit this year is incredibly strong.
• 3:11
  I don't know why. I don't know what's in the air, whether it's been this cold
• 3:16
  chill or whatever, but it's great.
• 3:19
  I mean, there are years where I don't even feel it.
• 3:22
  Like zero, there's zero feeling. like in the movie Elf, right?
• 3:26
  They had to get the Christmas spirit going.
• 3:28
  I think the Christmas spirit is quite high this year. What are your thoughts?
• 3:31
  I think so too. I think we've come a long way from all the stuff we've gone through.
• 3:36
  And I think that we've gotten to the point where there's a lot of nostalgia in the air.
• 3:41
  And I think the nostalgia is helping us go back to our childhood and allowing
• 3:46
  us the opportunity to say, Christmas is a very important holiday.
• 3:50
  Hanukkah is a very important holiday. All these holidays come together and it brings us together.
• 3:55
  And I think Thanksgiving this year really set the tone for that.
• 3:58
  Yeah, here, here, here, here. Yeah, so without further ado, I just wanted to
• 4:04
  take a minute and thank our half-faith, let it begin family for all the wonderful
• 4:10
  prayers and all the great things that you do.
• 4:13
  Angel, you, of course, motivate us and inspire us to do these great kind acts
• 4:19
  that we bestow on the world.
• 4:21
  And we don't just do it you know, in Christmas or we don't do it during Advent. We do it forever.
• 4:26
  We do it all 365 and you're the one who leads us.
• 4:30
  So with that, will you lead us in prayer, my friend? I will,
• 4:33
  but I want to like to make sure that everybody's aware we have yet announced,
• 4:37
  they had to announce it officially on the Citizens United to Overcome Cancer.
• 4:40
  But since all of our Half-Faith Let It Begin family already knows that we're
• 4:44
  on Podbean, we want to remind each and every one that.
• 4:48
  The Citizens United to Overcome Cancer podcast will also be jumping over eventually for the new year.
• 4:54
  So look for them to be a part of that.
• 4:57
  We'll send you links. And without further ado, let us pray.
• 5:01
  Heavenly Father, thank you so much for my arms.
• 5:05
  Those that can't see, but they'll eventually see it. I am holding Noah who passed out on top of me.
• 5:09
  So thank you, Lord, for the strength to hold him during two podcasts.
• 5:13
  Thank you for Dr. E to have patience with me as well. We thank all of you out
• 5:18
  there that have supported both of our platforms.
• 5:20
  We want to wish you a very, very special holiday season.
• 5:23
  We want you to come together and to remember the loved ones that have gone on
• 5:28
  to be with the Lord. Remember those that are still with us today.
• 5:31
  And also to come together and think about your children, your children's children,
• 5:36
  and the future of what we have in store for all of us.
• 5:40
  Many, many good blessings in the upcoming new year. and let us all come together
• 5:45
  and just join in and enjoy the spirit, the holiday season and utilize the term Merry Christmas.
• 5:54
  Season's greetings, happy Hanukkah.
• 5:56
  And remember that the number one thing about Christmas is the star on the tree,
• 6:03
  the epiphany, letting us remember that Christ was born on Christmas day.
• 6:08
  May God be with you. May he shine his light upon you and grant each and every
• 6:11
  single one of you Peace on earth.
