  Hello, Cam.

  Well, it is quite the snowy morning out here.
• 0:35
  It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
• 0:38
  I don't know where this came from.
• 0:39
  It wasn't forecasted.
• 0:41
  No, it wasn't, that's the thing, but man, it is snowing.
• 0:44
  Snowfall warning.

  Yeah, snowfall warning, in effect.

  We will have snow for Christmas.

  It's going to be amazing.
• 0:54
  Anyway, yeah, today there's a lot of snow.
• 0:56
  And like I said, this is a very special edition of the ABA Coffee In The Park because this is...

  This is our Christmas edition.

  Our Christmas edition.

  Like the Thanksgiving edition.

  That's right.
• 1:07
  And so we're going to talk all things Christmas today.
• 1:09
  We are.
• 1:09
  But before we do that, we want to let you know that we're coming to you live from the Wall Coffee Roasters in the heart of beautiful downtown Acheson.
• 1:18
  That's right.
• 1:19
  And so if you hear some noises in the background, people talking, coffee machines whirring, whatever is going on, it's because we're at the coffee shop.
• 1:26
  And you know what?
• 1:27
  It's busy in here today.
• 1:28
  No kidding.
• 1:29
  For the weather outside.
• 1:30
  If the weather outside is frightful.
• 1:32
  Yeah, people are coming into the coffee shop.
• 1:34
  They are.
• 1:34
  It's amazing.
• 1:35
  You know what it is?
• 1:36
  No.
• 1:36
  Nobody wants to work the week before Christmas.
• 1:39
  Too close to Christmas.
• 1:41
  Nobody wants to work.
• 1:42
  Everybody is coming to the coffee shop.
• 1:43
  Exactly.
• 1:44
  So, if you are listening to this, well, this will be released, well, actually tomorrow.
• 1:48
  Tomorrow.
• 1:49
  Yeah.
• 1:50
  But you can come to the coffee shop.
• 1:51
  And by the way, the coffee shop, Jennifer, great gift ideas here at the coffee shop.
• 1:57
  Yeah.
• 1:57
  So, you will listen to this episode at noon on Thursday.
• 2:02
  There's still time to come to The Wall Coffee Roaster Friday.
• 2:05
  I believe Michael's open Saturday, maybe even Monday before Christmas.
• 2:09
  Yeah.
• 2:10
  And get stocking stuffers, coffee, gift cards for Uncle George.
• 2:16
  That's right.
• 2:17
  $200 gift card.
• 2:18
  What's a better gift?
• 2:20
  He's got merch.
• 2:22
  He has t-shirts and sweatshirts.
• 2:24
  Yeah.
• 2:24
  And I think even like coffee presses, he's got a variety.
• 2:28
  And then while you're here, he's got like four or five specialty Christmas coffee.
• 2:32
  You can try one of those.
• 2:34
  Yeah.
• 2:34
  So come on down to The Wall Coffee Roaster.
• 2:36
  You know what?
• 2:36
  And yeah.
• 2:37
  Support, shop local.
• 2:38
  Shop local.
• 2:39
  Shop local.
• 2:40
  It's awesome.
• 2:40
  So anyway, before we go any further though, we got some people we need to thank.
• 2:45
  So let's do that.
• 2:46
  Well, we'd like to thank our gold corporate sponsors, which include the MyShak group of companies, Genics and Parkland County.
• 2:52
  Wow.
• 2:52
  Thank you to these businesses for all that they've done for the ABA in 2024 and jumping on board as our gold corporate sponsors.
• 3:00
  Yeah.
• 3:01
  We really appreciate it.
• 3:02
  They're amazing.
• 3:02
  And without them, we could not do what we do.
• 3:05
  That's right.
• 3:06
  Thanks.
• 3:06
  Appreciate it.
• 3:07
  So, let's talk Christmas.
• 3:10
  So, first question.
• 3:12
  Yes.
• 3:12
  Are you done your shopping?
• 3:15
  You know, the honest truth is no.
• 3:17
  I actually, I'm going to, okay, total transparency here.
• 3:23
  I don't actually do a lot of shopping.
• 3:26
  My daughter, I send her out to shop for my wife.
• 3:30
  Smart.
• 3:30
  Yeah, she does that.
• 3:31
  I just give her the money and she does it.
• 3:33
  Matter of fact, while we're sitting here, I just got a text and the text said I got it.
• 3:38
  We're done.
• 3:38
  Oh, see, then you are done.
• 3:40
  Yeah.
• 3:40
  And then my wife, she shops for me and my daughter.
• 3:45
  So yeah, I don't really do much.
• 3:47
  I have to be honest.
• 3:48
  You know what?
• 3:49
  Oh, if you can avoid the malls, people, avoid the malls.
• 3:53
  No, don't go to the malls.
• 3:54
  Terrible.
• 3:55
  Have you tried to go to West Edmonton Mall close to Christmas?
• 3:58
  I only go to West Edmonton Mall for one reason, and that's Chick-fil-A, because I love Chick-fil-A.
• 4:03
  But you're right.
• 4:04
  There's just people everywhere.
• 4:05
  The lineups.
• 4:06
  And I can't handle it.
• 4:07
  No, no, there's just too many people.
• 4:09
  You know, no.
• 4:10
  So Amazon is my best friend.
• 4:11
  Well, yeah, Amazon is good, but I really do encourage people to shop local.
• 4:15
  No kidding.
• 4:16
  Like if you're in an area where there's some nice little shops that sell some cool things.
• 4:19
  Yeah, go there.
• 4:20
  I agree.
• 4:21
  Yeah.
• 4:22
  There's some support.
• 4:23
  Why not?
• 4:24
  The mall doesn't.
• 4:24
  Well, I better not say that.
• 4:25
  I'll get in trouble.
• 4:26
  But you know, just support local.
• 4:28
  But the local people that you are supporting, buying your Christmas gifts, give so much back to the community.
• 4:34
  And we've had guests on our show.
• 4:36
  That's right.
• 4:37
  That are great local businesses.
• 4:39
  They really are.
• 4:40
  And they sell great products.
• 4:41
  They do.
• 4:41
  And so yeah, check it out.
• 4:43
  Exactly.
• 4:43
  Yeah, it's good.
• 4:44
  I like it.
• 4:45
  I like that idea.
• 4:46
  So anyway, if you don't haven't done your Christmas shopping yet, if you're a guy like me, Shoppers Drug Mart is open till midnight on the 24th.
• 4:54
  You can get Lotto tickets.
• 4:55
  You can get soap.
• 4:57
  You can get, oh, you know what?
• 4:58
  You can even buy socks there.
• 5:00
  So you're good.
• 5:01
  You can get socks.
• 5:03
  You can get soap.
• 5:04
  You can get perfume.
• 5:06
  Chocolates.
• 5:06
  Chocolates.
• 5:07
  Oh yeah.
• 5:07
  Yep.
• 5:08
  All that last minute stuff that makes it look like you shop days in advance.
• 5:12
  But you didn't really.
• 5:13
  But anyway, so yeah, so Christmas is coming.
• 5:15
  Jennifer, are you ready for Christmas?
• 5:18
  I'm as ready as I'm going to be.
• 5:19
  Yeah.
• 5:20
  Yeah.
• 5:20
  No kidding, eh?
• 5:21
  You know what?
• 5:21
  There comes a point.
• 5:22
  Well, Christmas starts so early.
• 5:25
  Like, August at Costco, I know, August, they got trees up.
• 5:28
  It's like really, really.
• 5:29
  And the same thing with the Christmas music.
• 5:31
  I know.
• 5:31
  You know what?
• 5:32
  I love a good Christmas carol, but for the love of goodness, people, do not start playing it until December.
• 5:38
  Exactly.
• 5:39
  I agree.
• 5:40
  I don't need two months of Christmas music.
• 5:42
  100%.
• 5:42
  But now, so that being said, yes, while we're on the topic, tell me what is your favorite Christmas carol?
• 5:48
  Oh, easy.
• 5:49
  I don't even have to think about this.
• 5:50
  What is it?
• 5:50
  It's Oh Holy Night.
• 5:51
  Oh Holy Night.
• 5:52
  And I was listening to it last night.
• 5:53
  Well, multiple versions of it last night.
• 5:57
  It's just, I don't know what it is.
• 5:58
  It's just such a soothing song, and I love it.
• 6:01
  It is.
• 6:01
  I love it too.
• 6:02
  That is a great, great Christmas carol.
• 6:05
  Oh Holy Night.
• 6:05
  And I'm like you, there's a lot of different versions out there, and some of them are pretty incredible.
• 6:10
  I love Oh Holy Night.
• 6:11
  What else?
• 6:13
  Oh, what else?
• 6:14
  What?
• 6:15
  I'm trying to think of my playlist last night as I'm doing laundry.
• 6:18
  That's right.
• 6:19
  Listening to Christmas music, doing laundry.
• 6:21
  Some things you never stop.
• 6:22
  You know what?
• 6:24
  Christmas does not stop laundry.
• 6:26
  Just because it's Christmas doesn't mean the clothes don't get dirty.
• 6:29
  Exactly.
• 6:30
  I like a little Hark the Herald.
• 6:32
  Hark the Herald.
• 6:33
  That's nice.
• 6:34
  Yeah.
• 6:34
  Yeah.
• 6:35
  Yeah.
• 6:35
  You and I were talking about the 12 days of Christmas, and we couldn't honestly, people, we got stuck at nine.
• 6:41
  Yeah.
• 6:42
  No, we did pretty good.
• 6:43
  No, we got eight wrong.
• 6:44
  We mixed up a couple of them.
• 6:46
  We had more geese, I think, than hens or something like that.
• 6:49
  But we got pretty good.
• 6:51
  We got the Lords of Leaping wrong.
• 6:52
  Lords of Leaping were way off.
• 6:54
  Way off.
• 6:54
  Too many Lords of Leaping.
• 6:56
  So yeah, we should sing it for you, but we're not going to.
• 7:01
  No, because this will...
• 7:02
  No.
• 7:02
  No.
• 7:02
  But anyway, yeah, that was kind of good.
• 7:04
  And what about you?
• 7:05
  Well, I'm like you.
• 7:06
  I love Oh Holy Night.
• 7:07
  I really do.
• 7:07
  I think that's a fantastic carol.
• 7:10
  And like I say, lots of great little versions on that one.
• 7:14
  And I really like Silent Night.
• 7:16
  Silent Night, because I always remember Silent Night is the last carol we played in the church on Christmas Eve.
• 7:22
  And you had your little candle and everybody got to light their little candle, and you lit the candle next to you.
• 7:27
  I never got a candle because there was fear of fire.
• 7:30
  Well, you know what?
• 7:30
  The candle at church always worried me a little bit.
• 7:32
  Candles were a new period.
• 7:34
  Well, this is another podcast, maybe in the New Year, but you're right.
• 7:37
  But yeah, but I really like, and the other reason I like Silent Night is because we have really good friends here in Edmonton who were related, are related to Hans Gruber in Germany, who wrote Silent Night.
• 7:49
  Yeah, that's amazing.
• 7:50
  Yeah.
• 7:51
  And so that was kind of cool knowing that you were singing a song that somebody standing there, that was their relative who helped write that.
• 7:57
  That's fantastic.
• 7:58
  Those are my favorites.
• 7:59
  I, you know, I'm not much into the fancy dancy, the Mariah Carey kind of stuff.
• 8:03
  No, not the modern, the traditional.
• 8:05
  I would agree with you.
• 8:06
  Yeah, so that's kind of cool.
• 8:07
  Yep, carols are a big part of it.
• 8:09
  I love when people sing them.
• 8:11
  I love all the versions of them.
• 8:12
  And kind of just, yeah, but not in August.
• 8:15
  Not in August.
• 8:17
  No, no.
• 8:18
  December 1st.
• 8:19
  Yes.
• 8:19
  We should have a law that you can't play carols until December 1st.
• 8:23
  Maybe we should pass this.
• 8:24
  We should.
• 8:25
  Should we advocate for this?
• 8:26
  Yeah, we'll advocate for this.
• 8:27
  That's right, referendum.
• 8:28
  Yeah.
• 8:29
  Anyway, I don't think people would care.
• 8:31
  Probably not.
• 8:31
  Okay.
• 8:32
  So carols, wonderful.
• 8:33
  Now, let's talk about some other things about Christmas.
• 8:36
  All right.
• 8:37
  What about, what is your favorite baking at Christmas?
• 8:45
  Well, I love all the baking at Christmas.
• 8:47
  Don't we all?
• 8:48
  Yeah, don't we all?
• 8:49
  And by the way, to those companies that dropped off baking at the ABA office, thank you.
• 8:55
  Yeah, I'm telling you.
• 8:57
  I just need to say, I was on a pretty good workout routine.
• 9:00
  That has stopped.
• 9:01
  Yeah, no.
• 9:01
  I'm not picking that up till the New Year.
• 9:03
  Me either.
• 9:03
  What's the point?
• 9:04
  What's the point?
• 9:04
  No, exactly.
• 9:06
  What's the point of riding my bike for like 35 minutes?
• 9:09
  When you're eating 17 shortbread cookies.
• 9:11
  Exactly.
• 9:12
  And downing like four gingerbread men.
• 9:14
  No, there's no point.
• 9:14
  No, there's no point.
• 9:15
  Everybody needs a break.
• 9:16
  That's on hiatus.
• 9:17
  Yeah.
• 9:18
  And it's not like a New Year's resolution.
• 9:19
  No, no.
• 9:20
  But I'm just, yeah.
• 9:21
  I agree.
• 9:21
  So thank you.
• 9:22
  Thank you.
• 9:23
  For everybody who dropped off baking.
• 9:24
  Absolutely.
• 9:25
  So what is your favorite baking?
• 9:28
  You know, it goes back to something that my grandma made.
• 9:32
  And so my grandma was from Norway on my dad's side.
• 9:36
  And she made something called a rosette.
• 9:40
  A rosette.
• 9:41
  So it's kind of like a dough that's deep fried.
• 9:45
  And then put in something, it's called a rosette iron, but it's like a waffle iron.
• 9:50
  And it makes a little like rose kind of pattern.
• 9:53
  Oh yeah, my mom used to do that, yeah.
• 9:54
  And then a little sugar is sprinkled over.
• 9:56
  Oh, so good.
• 9:58
  Especially if they're right out of the deep fryer.
• 9:59
  Yes, amazing, amazing.
• 10:02
  Okay, well, I didn't know it was called that.
• 10:04
  That's kind of cool.
• 10:05
  Okay, what else?
• 10:06
  Butterhorns.
• 10:07
  Butterhorns.
• 10:07
  Yes, my mom makes butterhorns.
• 10:09
  Butterhorns.
• 10:10
  Yeah, I love the butterhorns.
• 10:11
  Now you're going to see your mom and dad.
• 10:13
  I am.
• 10:13
  Is your mom going to make you butterhorns?
• 10:14
  Well, I sure hope she is.
• 10:16
  Okay, this is a notice to Jennifer's mom from Cam.
• 10:19
  And she will be listening.
• 10:20
  Could you please send a couple of butterhorns back for Cam?
• 10:23
  We'll make sure we get butterhorns back for you.
• 10:25
  Okay, good.
• 10:25
  Because I've heard all about these butterhorns.
• 10:28
  That's right.
• 10:28
  And it's not fair if I don't get a butterhorn.
• 10:31
  So they are, it's kind of like a pastry that's wrapped over and then icing over it.
• 10:37
  Now, I'm a little odd because...
• 10:40
  No.
• 10:40
  I'm a little odd.
• 10:41
  No.
• 10:42
  Okay.
• 10:42
  I mean, they're great fresh, but you know what else I love them?
• 10:45
  I love to eat them frozen.
• 10:46
  Frozen?
• 10:47
  I don't know why.
• 10:48
  Okay.
• 10:49
  All right.
• 10:49
  So it's okay if you freeze them and bring them back.
• 10:52
  It is.
• 10:52
  It's okay.
• 10:53
  Okay.
• 10:53
  But we definitely have to try this.
• 10:54
  We will.
• 10:55
  Because you've just talked endlessly about these butterhorns.
• 10:58
  Now, anything with the word butter, that's good right there.
• 11:01
  That's what I'm saying.
• 11:02
  So that's awesome.
• 11:02
  Yeah.
• 11:03
  And you?
• 11:03
  Well, my mom used to make these little cornflake balls where she'd smash up cornflakes, and then she'd buy that Macintosh toffee.
• 11:11
  Oh, the toffee.
• 11:11
  You know, the toffee bars?
• 11:12
  Oh, I love that.
• 11:13
  And she'd melt that and pour it all over the cornflakes, and she'd make these little balls.
• 11:17
  They were like amazing.
• 11:19
  You put them in the fridge and get them all cold and hard.
• 11:22
  Oh, those were unbelievable.
• 11:24
  Can you buy that toffee anymore?
• 11:26
  You know, no, you can, but you got to look for it.
• 11:29
  Not every store sells it.
• 11:31
  Just a little hint.
• 11:31
  You know who always has it?
• 11:33
  Who always carries it?
• 11:34
  Freson Brothers.
• 11:34
  Good to know.
• 11:35
  We know what?
• 11:36
  They've got amazing candy selection.
• 11:37
  Oh, they've got the best candy selection everywhere.
• 11:39
  They do.
• 11:39
  And I was there the other day.
• 11:40
  They have a great Christmas candy section.
• 11:43
  Amazing.
• 11:44
  So my mom made those, and then she made nanaimo bars.
• 11:47
  The best nanaimo bars I ever had in my life.
• 11:49
  And then she made these things called filbert fingers, and it was a dough with filbert nuts in it, and she would shape them like a little, well, either a frown or a smile, depending on how you put it.
• 11:59
  And then she'd dip it in milk chocolate.
• 12:01
  That sounds amazing.
• 12:02
  Unbelievable.
• 12:04
  So those are my favorite.
• 12:06
  And shortbread.
• 12:07
  Everybody loves shortbread.
• 12:08
  It's true.
• 12:08
  Shortbread cookies are amazing.
• 12:10
  With the little cherry thing in the middle.
• 12:12
  I like that.
• 12:13
  Yeah, that's really good.
• 12:13
  Yeah.
• 12:14
  Okay.
• 12:14
  Okay.
• 12:14
  But here, as we're talking baking, this is going to be a little controversial.
• 12:19
  Okay.
• 12:20
  Fruitcake or no fruitcake?
• 12:22
  No, no, no, no fruitcake.
• 12:23
  See, this is why you and I get along.
• 12:25
  Yeah, no fruitcake.
• 12:27
  First of all, it's way too hard.
• 12:29
  It reminds me of bricks.
• 12:30
  You can like build a house with fruitcake.
• 12:32
  It's like so heavy.
• 12:33
  Yeah, no, it's heavy.
• 12:34
  And I don't want fruit in my...
• 12:37
  And I don't know, it's just that whatever that dough is, if that's the right word, because I don't know anything about fruitcake, it doesn't seem to all...
• 12:44
  What is that green fruit in there?
• 12:46
  What fruit is green?
• 12:47
  I don't know, but yeah, I'm a little leery of that.
• 12:49
  No.
• 12:50
  So no, I'm not into fruitcake.
• 12:51
  No, me either.
• 12:52
  Yeah, no.
• 12:52
  So I know people like it.
• 12:54
  I know.
• 12:54
  My mom loved it.
• 12:55
  She thought it was great.
• 12:56
  You know what, I think it's generational thing.
• 12:57
  Yeah, I think so.
• 12:58
  Cup of coffee and fruitcake.
• 12:59
  But I'm going to be honest, I go to Costco and they sell their fruitcakes.
• 13:04
  People are buying them.
• 13:04
  I know.
• 13:05
  There's a fruitcake shortage.
• 13:06
  Like the toilet paper shortage we went through.
• 13:08
  They're buying the fruitcake.
• 13:10
  It's unbelievable.
• 13:11
  I agree with you on that.
• 13:12
  Anyway, yeah.
• 13:12
  So I'm not big on the fruitcake.
• 13:13
  Me either.
• 13:14
  No.
• 13:14
  Don't want to go that direction.
• 13:15
  Okay, good.
• 13:16
  Now, here's one that I love talking about this.
• 13:20
  This is one of my favorites because at Christmas, there is a ton of great movies and TV shows that come out.
• 13:28
  So, Jennifer, list your top three Christmas movies or TV shows.
• 13:35
  Okay, easy.
• 13:35
  Okay.
• 13:36
  Christmas Vacation.
• 13:38
  Number one.
• 13:39
  Love Christmas Vacation.
• 13:40
  It's just so funny.
• 13:42
  Isn't it?
• 13:43
  You know why?
• 13:45
  You know why?
• 13:45
  Because I think all of us have a little Christmas Vacation in our families.
• 13:50
  It's just, you can watch that, and I've watched it over and over and over, and every time I pick out something different.
• 13:57
  I gotta be honest.
• 13:57
  Now, I'm gonna get flack for this.
• 13:59
  Don't send emails.
• 14:00
  The part that I love the most is when that cat gets fried in the tree.
• 14:05
  I just fall on the floor laughing.
• 14:07
  That is so funny.
• 14:08
  The best for me is he's waiting and waiting for his Christmas bonus, and he gets a Jelly Of The Month Club.
• 14:15
  Seriously.
• 14:17
  I love it.
• 14:17
  That's just the greatest.
• 14:18
  That is a great one.
• 14:19
  And he goes postal.
• 14:20
  Yeah, he goes postal at Christmas.
• 14:22
  Which some of us, yeah, anyway, we'll go there.
• 14:24
  If I got Jelly Of The Month Club, you'd go postal.
• 14:26
  Maybe.
• 14:27
  Yeah.
• 14:27
  Note to self, Jennifer, no Jelly Of The Month for Christmas.
• 14:30
  Okay.
• 14:31
  Number two for you.
• 14:32
  It's not a movie.
• 14:33
  Yeah.
• 14:33
  It's a classic TV show.
• 14:35
  The Charlie Brown Christmas Special.
• 14:37
  Charlie Brown Christmas.
• 14:38
  Special.
• 14:38
  Yes.
• 14:39
  Okay.
• 14:40
  Can we just talk about the Charlie Brown Christmas?
• 14:42
  Yes.
• 14:42
  As long as I can remember, I remember that was a tradition in our house.
• 14:47
  As a kid, I couldn't wait for that to be on.
• 14:49
  Yeah.
• 14:49
  Yeah.
• 14:50
  Do you know that that first was aired in 1965?
• 14:53
  Is that when it was?
• 14:54
  And it was aired on CBS Television, and it was actually kind of controversial.
• 15:00
  And you know why?
• 15:00
  Because it was religious?
• 15:01
  It was religious, and they thought it's too religious.
• 15:04
  But Charles Scholes said, No, if you want it, this is the way it's going to be.
• 15:08
  And they aired it, and it's turned out to be the most popular and watched Christmas TV show.
• 15:14
  It's so good.
• 15:15
  Don't you love it?
• 15:15
  I love it.
• 15:16
  Don't you love it when they act out the Christmas story, and Linus, he does the whole from Lukey, and they all play a different character?
• 15:24
  And Snoopy is all the animals?
• 15:27
  Snoopy is the best.
• 15:29
  He plays the sheep. He plays the cow Exactly.
• 15:31
  He does it all.
• 15:32
  He does it all.
• 15:33
  I love that.
• 15:34
  I know.
• 15:34
  It's the best.
• 15:35
  It is the best.
• 15:37
  You can't have Christmas without watching a Charlie Brown Christmas.
• 15:39
  I agree.
• 15:39
  And then at the end, it's great because everybody's so sad about the tree, that Charlie Brown failed once again.
• 15:45
  Poor Charlie Brown.
• 15:46
  You know what?
• 15:47
  Charlie Brown.
• 15:48
  Poor Charlie Brown.
• 15:49
  They're so hard on Charlie Brown.
• 15:51
  Charlie Brown.
• 15:53
  And Snoopy saves the day with his decorated dog house.
• 15:57
  This is why I love Snoopy.
• 15:58
  Snoopy is the best.
• 15:59
  He is.
• 16:00
  Yeah.
• 16:00
  No.
• 16:00
  Okay.
• 16:01
  And number three.
• 16:02
  Number three is The Grinch.
• 16:03
  The Grinch.
• 16:04
  Yes.
• 16:04
  The movie, the TV show, the cartoon, which one?
• 16:07
  So the original Grinch, which I don't know what year.
• 16:10
  That seems like it should be a 1960s one too.
• 16:12
  Cindy Luhu.
• 16:14
  But I also love, and this, he did such a great job, the Jim Carrey version of The Grinch.
• 16:21
  You know, I'm going to be honest with you, when that first came out or was coming out, I thought to myself, how do you, there's no way you could do kind of a live Grinch.
• 16:30
  And then they did it and he did it.
• 16:31
  It's phenomenal.
• 16:32
  It is phenomenal.
• 16:33
  Yeah, it really is.
• 16:34
  Yeah.
• 16:34
  I love that movie.
• 16:35
  I do too.
• 16:36
  I love it.
• 16:36
  That's a great movie.
• 16:37
  Yeah.
• 16:38
  Okay.
• 16:38
  Okay.
• 16:38
  Yours?
• 16:39
  Mine.
• 16:39
  Okay.
• 16:39
  Number one would be Home Alone.
• 16:42
  I love Home Alone.
• 16:43
  Home Alone is good.
• 16:44
  And I don't know if it's because I want to be like him.
• 16:47
  Yes.
• 16:47
  Kevin, I want to be like Kevin.
• 16:49
  He was amazing.
• 16:50
  I just loved it.
• 16:51
  All his little pranks and everything to save his home.
• 16:54
  I love that.
• 16:55
  And not that I was ever left, that I can remember being left Home Alone, but I would want to be like Kevin.
• 17:00
  Yeah.
• 17:01
  If I was left Home Alone.
• 17:01
  Good movie.
• 17:02
  Good movie.
• 17:02
  Number two, I'm with you.
• 17:04
  TV show Charlie Brown Christmas.
• 17:06
  You know, I'm big into Charlie Brown.
• 17:07
  I do.
• 17:08
  I have a Charlie Brown Christmas tree in my office.
• 17:10
  You do.
• 17:10
  And I love Charlie Brown Christmas.
• 17:12
  And then number three is a serious movie, but it's very old.
• 17:16
  I love Scrooge, but the Alastair Sim version in black and white.
• 17:22
  I love that movie.
• 17:23
  Not Mickey Mouse, Christmas Carol, and Scrooge McDuck?
• 17:25
  No, no, no, no.
• 17:26
  No, I don't.
• 17:28
  No, I don't.
• 17:29
  No, actually, I don't know if I've ever.
• 17:31
  Oh, you must have seen that one.
• 17:32
  But anyway, I love it.
• 17:34
  I love it in black and white.
• 17:36
  And you know when I love watching it?
• 17:37
  I love watching it late Christmas Eve.
• 17:40
  Everybody's gone to bed.
• 17:41
  Only the tree lights are on.
• 17:43
  And I'm sitting there watching Scrooge and the ghosts kind of scare me a little bit.
• 17:47
  It is a little frightening.
• 17:47
  I take my blanket and I pull it up.
• 17:49
  Like Linus.
• 17:50
  Yeah, like Linus.
• 17:51
  Exactly.
• 17:52
  And so, yeah, so I'm like, that's how I do that.
• 17:55
  So those are my favorite three.
• 17:57
  Those are good three.
• 17:58
  I really like them.
• 17:59
  And you know what?
• 17:59
  There's so many great Christmas movies out there.
• 18:01
  There really is.
• 18:02
  There really is.
• 18:03
  I like the old traditional ones and some of the new ones are really good.
• 18:06
  They are.
• 18:06
  Christmas With The Cranks and stuff like that.
• 18:08
  You know, they're pretty good.
• 18:10
  Okay, what else should we talk about here?
• 18:13
  Oh, I have one for you.
• 18:14
  Okay.
• 18:15
  Does your family do stockings?
• 18:17
  Oh, yeah.
• 18:18
  Okay.
• 18:19
  But here's the question.
• 18:21
  When do you open your stockings?
• 18:22
  Oh, Christmas Day.
• 18:23
  Christmas Day.
• 18:24
  Well, Christmas morning.
• 18:25
  Morning, right.
• 18:26
  Before you open again.
• 18:27
  Yes, before you do presents.
• 18:28
  Right.
• 18:29
  Okay.
• 18:29
  You?
• 18:30
  Well, we're the same.
• 18:31
  Yeah, we do it Christmas morning, and we have good stockings.
• 18:35
  Can I just say, stockings have come a long way.
• 18:38
  I know, but can I just say, it's expensive these days to fill a stocking.
• 18:42
  Sometimes you're spending more on the stocking than you are on the gift, which is getting a little crazy.
• 18:46
  What's the one thing you don't like getting in your stocking?
• 18:49
  Don't give me oranges in my stocking.
• 18:51
  Oranges.
• 18:51
  A mandarin orange.
• 18:52
  No.
• 18:52
  I don't like that.
• 18:53
  Yeah, you don't like mandarin oranges in your stocking.
• 18:55
  Well, not in my stocking.
• 18:57
  Don't give me fruit.
• 18:58
  No, I hear you.
• 18:58
  This is part of the fruitcake.
• 19:00
  Exactly.
• 19:00
  No, no.
• 19:01
  You?
• 19:02
  Well, gum.
• 19:03
  Why don't you like gum?
• 19:04
  I love gum.
• 19:05
  Because again, I think, and this is no reflection on anything, anyone or anything, but the gum, I think they buy at the dollar store.
• 19:13
  And I kind of have this thing that dollar store gum has been sitting there for like nine years.
• 19:17
  Sorry, dollar store.
• 19:18
  Don't come after us.
• 19:19
  But they get the gum from other stores that don't like, save on it and they don't sell.
• 19:23
  So I don't like the gum.
• 19:25
  You're getting gum from 2021.
• 19:27
  No.
• 19:27
  Well, that's it.
• 19:29
  And you go to chew it, and next thing you know, January, you're at the dentist.
• 19:32
  So yeah.
• 19:33
  So and the other thing I don't like in my stocking is I don't like socks.
• 19:36
  No.
• 19:36
  Well, yeah, but socks are a staple.
• 19:38
  I know.
• 19:39
  I know they are.
• 19:40
  But I just, I'm not, you know, because I always think of the Mr.
• 19:43
  Bean Christmas.
• 19:44
  Oh yeah.
• 19:44
  And he, but that was, he was ingenious because he had his sock and he had the other sock in the stock.
• 19:50
  He did.
• 19:51
  So when he pulled it out, he had a pair of socks.
• 19:53
  Anyway, I'm not big on socks.
• 19:54
  But I love socks.
• 19:55
  I love getting socks for Christmas, just not in my stock.
• 19:57
  Just not in your stocking.
• 19:58
  Okay.
• 19:58
  The one thing I do like getting in my stocking, lottery tickets.
• 20:01
  I was going to say scratch tickets.
• 20:03
  Yeah.
• 20:03
  Yeah.
• 20:04
  I love that.
• 20:04
  Me too.
• 20:05
  Oh yeah.
• 20:05
  I don't usually win, but I love getting them.
• 20:07
  Me either, but that's okay.
• 20:09
  Okay.
• 20:09
  All right.
• 20:09
  So okay.
• 20:10
  Now, let's move on.
• 20:11
  Now, here's another one.
• 20:12
  Here's another.
• 20:12
  Do you have real or artificial tree?
• 20:18
  Growing up, it was a real tree.
• 20:20
  A real tree growing up.
• 20:21
  Yes, always a real tree growing up until, I can't even remember until what age we switched.
• 20:25
  Yeah.
• 20:26
  Now, it's artificial.
• 20:27
  Artificial.
• 20:28
  Yeah.
• 20:28
  Just easier.
• 20:29
  You know what?
• 20:30
  The lights are done.
• 20:31
  I know.
• 20:32
  You can just fold it up, put it away.
• 20:33
  I hear you.
• 20:34
  It's just easy.
• 20:35
  I don't have to worry about...
• 20:36
  You know my fear of fire?
• 20:37
  Yes.
• 20:38
  I don't have to worry about my tree catching on fire.
• 20:41
  You know what?
• 20:41
  I make you shut the office tree lights on, even though it's artificial.
• 20:44
  We have an artificial tree, and Jennifer is always at me about turning the artificial tree lights off.
• 20:51
  When we go home at night.
• 20:53
  I just don't want to get into it, because it's just been, I don't know.
• 20:58
  I don't know.
• 20:58
  But anyway, so I'm just going to say, the other night I was watching TV, and that guy on PBS, Rick Steves, he travels all over, and he was doing a show from Germany and Austria, and they were doing traditions.
• 21:09
  Did you know back in the day, they used real trees, but they put real candles on the Christmas trees?
• 21:16
  It's a little unbelievable.
• 21:17
  And I thought of you right away, and I thought, oh, right now Jennifer would be having like a mental breakdown.
• 21:22
  I would.
• 21:22
  She'd be going crazy.
• 21:23
  Yeah.
• 21:24
  And they put like real candles on the tree.
• 21:26
  I know.
• 21:27
  And somebody should do a little study on this and statistically look into how many houses burnt down.
• 21:32
  But I'm just saying, I couldn't believe that.
• 21:34
  Yeah.
• 21:34
  Yeah.
• 21:35
  I know.
• 21:35
  Because now it's artificial and it's, you know, like you say, the lights are on.
• 21:40
  We went out and bought a cover for our tree.
• 21:42
  We don't even take our tree apart.
• 21:44
  We just cover it and put it in the garage.
• 21:46
  Oh, see, that's smart.
• 21:47
  So every year we just take it out.
• 21:49
  Now we take the decorations off and stuff like that.
• 21:51
  And then we take the cover off.
• 21:52
  Yeah.
• 21:53
  Yeah.
• 21:53
  Okay.
• 21:54
  All right.
• 21:54
  So we've settled that.
• 21:55
  All right.
• 21:55
  What else?
• 21:56
  Christmas related.
• 21:57
  What should we talk about?
• 21:58
  Well, I know you have a love for inflatables.
• 22:01
  Oh, I love Christmas inflatables.
• 22:04
  But do you have one at your house?
• 22:06
  Not allowed.
• 22:06
  Not allowed.
• 22:07
  No, not allowed.
• 22:09
  It's a bit of an issue because I really want one.
• 22:12
  I love them.
• 22:13
  Every year I see a new one.
• 22:14
  I think, oh, that would look so great in my yard, but I'm not allowed.
• 22:17
  And we won't get into why I'm not allowed, but I'm just not allowed.
• 22:20
  And so my neighbors, some of the neighbors have, and I drive down the street and I see people with inflatables all over their yards.
• 22:26
  I think it's great.
• 22:26
  The only time I don't like it is at night.
• 22:28
  They turn them off and they're all like, bool, bool, bool, onto the ground.
• 22:31
  But can I just say that inflatables do look much better when there's actually snow on the ground.
• 22:36
  And they look a little silly when like, it's just on your lawn.
• 22:39
  I'm with you.
• 22:40
  I agree with that.
• 22:40
  Yeah.
• 22:40
  It looks nice with snow on the ground.
• 22:42
  But yeah, do you have any inflatables?
• 22:44
  No.
• 22:44
  Now what?
• 22:45
  Now I know what you like.
• 22:46
  You like Christmas lights.
• 22:47
  Christmas lights.
• 22:48
  Yes.
• 22:48
  But do I have any at my house?
• 22:50
  No.
• 22:50
  Because?
• 22:52
  Tell us why.
• 22:54
  And he will listen to this podcast.
• 22:55
  That's right.
• 22:56
  My husband, Ryan, sorry, man, fell off the roof.
• 22:58
  I know.
• 23:00
  That's not good.
• 23:00
  He's darn lucky.
• 23:01
  Yeah.
• 23:01
  And he fell off because he it was a long story.
• 23:04
  Again, maybe another episode.
• 23:06
  Right.
• 23:06
  But no Christmas lights.
• 23:09
  Sorry, man.
• 23:10
  Sorry about that.
• 23:11
  I'm trying to convince him that we need those permanent lights.
• 23:13
  Do you know which ones I'm talking about?
• 23:14
  You want a company to come on and put those lights that you can change to any color during the year.
• 23:18
  If there's any company listening right now, give me a call.
• 23:24
  We'll give you a commercial spot.
• 23:25
  Seriously, we will give you.
• 23:26
  If you give Jennifer a good deal.
• 23:28
  Yes, we will.
• 23:28
  A permanent Christmas light.
• 23:29
  Yes.
• 23:30
  Because you want to use them all year.
• 23:31
  Well, I think it's so cool when I'm out walking the dogs at night and the Oilers game is on, and people have them like orange and blue, and it looks great.
• 23:40
  Exactly.
• 23:41
  I know.
• 23:41
  So, okay.
• 23:42
  So, well, all right.
• 23:43
  But you haven't convinced?
• 23:44
  No.
• 23:45
  Okay.
• 23:45
  But if you're listening, and that's your job, and that's what you do.
• 23:48
  Give me a call.
• 23:48
  Give Jennifer an email.
• 23:49
  Yeah.
• 23:50
  Or a call, or whatever you do.
• 23:52
  And yeah.
• 23:53
  And so maybe you can get a deal going.
• 23:55
  All right.
• 23:57
  I don't have any Christmas lights.
• 23:58
  I do like seeing them.
• 24:00
  I'm not one of those guys to go driving through Candy Cane Lane.
• 24:03
  I don't do that.
• 24:04
  But I do like Christmas lights.
• 24:05
  I like seeing them.
• 24:06
  Yeah.
• 24:06
  They're nice.
• 24:07
  They're pretty festive.
• 24:08
  They are.
• 24:08
  And so kudos to all the people that do that.
• 24:10
  Yes.
• 24:11
  But thanks for making it nice for the rest of us.
• 24:13
  Agreed.
• 24:13
  Okay.
• 24:14
  What else about Christmas?
• 24:15
  What else about?
• 24:16
  Oh, oh, okay.
• 24:18
  Well, I don't know if I'm even going to ask you this because you don't buy the gifts.
• 24:22
  No, I don't.
• 24:23
  No.
• 24:25
  What's your preference?
• 24:26
  A wrapped gift or a gift bag?
• 24:28
  Okay.
• 24:29
  I do have a very strong opinion on this.
• 24:32
  I really do.
• 24:33
  And I believe the day we went to Christmas gift bags was a low point for Christmas.
• 24:39
  I think Christmas presents should be wrapped.
• 24:42
  I'm sorry.
• 24:43
  I just, first of all, okay, number one, anybody can look in the bag and see what's in there.
• 24:50
  Yeah, but that's when you seal the bag.
• 24:51
  And then, okay, so here's, you have to have the bag, you have to have tissue.
• 24:56
  Here's the thing with tissue.
• 24:57
  People over buy the bag, and then they feel, oh, it's just a little gift, and they have to stuff it with tissue.
• 25:04
  Okay, so then, you gotta get it through all the...
• 25:06
  Secondly, I've gotten gifts even recently.
• 25:09
  I won't mention from whom.
• 25:11
  I can't get the gift out of the bag.
• 25:13
  The box is too big, and those things frustrate me.
• 25:18
  Oh, I can't, and I'm struggling.
• 25:21
  You do have strong opinions about this.
• 25:23
  No, I really do.
• 25:24
  You really do.
• 25:24
  If I ever, no, anyway, so the wrapping paper, just tear it off and it's done.
• 25:30
  You're like a two-year-old, like...
• 25:32
  And it's done.
• 25:33
  Okay.
• 25:34
  All right.
• 25:34
  Now, what about, okay, so, sorry to people who sell, sorry to the dollar store that sells like a trillion...
• 25:41
  Hey, it's where I go every year to buy my bags.
• 25:43
  I know, my wife too, every year.
• 25:45
  It's like a trillion Christmas gift bags.
• 25:47
  But sometimes things won't fit in a box.
• 25:50
  You don't have a box big enough, so you need a gift bag.
• 25:53
  Just buy wrapping paper.
• 25:55
  No, no.
• 25:55
  And wrap them.
• 25:57
  Like, I know it's a little bit of work, and I'm not a good wrapping guy.
• 26:00
  I don't, I don't.
• 26:01
  But it's the thought that counts, not the, I'm not one of those fancy.
• 26:05
  No, I don't do fancy.
• 26:06
  I used to take gifts to the mall, and have them wrapped in there.
• 26:09
  I remember when they did that.
• 26:11
  Can they still do that?
• 26:12
  I don't know, because I don't buy the gifts.
• 26:14
  I haven't seen that advertised for a long time.
• 26:15
  No, I know.
• 26:16
  But that was a great idea.
• 26:16
  That was a great idea, and they did a wonderful job.
• 26:18
  I know.
• 26:19
  And you give it to them, and then you go have a coffee, and you come back, and your gifts are all done, and your family would go, Whoa! They thought you spent a lot of time and effort.
• 26:26
  I know.
• 26:27
  And I just let them believe that I did it.
• 26:28
  Yeah, who's going to say anything?
• 26:29
  They knew though, because they're like, he didn't do this, that's for sure.
• 26:32
  No.
• 26:32
  But anyway, okay.
• 26:34
  What about you?
• 26:34
  You like gift bags?
• 26:35
  Well, it's easy.
• 26:36
  I know.
• 26:37
  It's convenient, right?
• 26:38
  It's convenient.
• 26:38
  I know.
• 26:39
  Yeah, it's convenient.
• 26:40
  It's a combo.
• 26:41
  It's both.
• 26:41
  I do both.
• 26:42
  By the time Christmas rolls around, you're just looking for the easy way out of everything.
• 26:46
  It kind of are, right?
• 26:47
  Yeah.
• 26:48
  Yeah, I agree.
• 26:49
  Wow.
• 26:49
  Okay.
• 26:50
  So that's a lot of stuff at Christmas.
• 26:51
  It is a lot of stuff.
• 26:52
  Now, I think our picture that we're going to put up for this podcast, if you're on social media, you and I decorated some gingerbreads.
• 27:01
  And so...
• 27:02
  Gingerbread, yes.
• 27:04
  Man.
• 27:04
  Well, I don't know what they are, actually.
• 27:06
  I don't know.
• 27:07
  Anyway, I didn't...
• 27:08
  We'll call them gingerbread people.
• 27:10
  I guess so, yeah.
• 27:11
  But so we're going to put those up.
• 27:12
  And so if you feel so inclined to comment on our gingerbread people...
• 27:17
  Oh, boy, that don't...
• 27:19
  I don't know.
• 27:19
  Yeah, they're not...
• 27:21
  We're not...
• 27:21
  Yeah, I might still have the best.
• 27:23
  But anyway, we'll put it up on the social media when we drop this podcast.
• 27:26
  We will.
• 27:27
  And we can check it out.
• 27:27
  Yeah.
• 27:28
  Jennifer, wow, that went by really fast.
• 27:31
  That kind of covers Christmas for us.
• 27:33
  I know.
• 27:33
  Is there anything we left out?
• 27:35
  Well, probably, but...
• 27:36
  I know.
• 27:37
  Christmas is just...
• 27:39
  It always seems to sneak up every year.
• 27:40
  And I know, I know we have lots of time leading up, but...
• 27:44
  Well, August.
• 27:44
  I don't know.
• 27:45
  Starts in August.
• 27:46
  I know.
• 27:47
  And then it's here, and it's gone.
• 27:48
  And it's gone.
• 27:49
  And all the hoopla and everything is kind of over.
• 27:51
  Yeah, it's over.
• 27:51
  Yeah, it's kind of like that.
• 27:52
  Yeah, our pants don't fit, because we've had so much baking.
• 27:54
  Our pants don't fit.
• 27:55
  That's right.
• 27:57
  Oh, my goodness me.
• 27:58
  Yeah.
• 27:59
  Okay, so here's my other tip.
• 28:00
  Can I give a tip?
• 28:01
  Yeah, give a Christmas...
• 28:02
  We need Christmas tips.
• 28:03
  Don't dress up for Christmas dinner.
• 28:05
  I agree.
• 28:07
  Sweatpants.
• 28:08
  Honestly...
• 28:09
  If I could wear shorts, it's a little cold.
• 28:13
  But be comfy.
• 28:14
  I know.
• 28:15
  Wear loose pants.
• 28:16
  Exactly.
• 28:17
  What's...
• 28:17
  You don't need to dress up.
• 28:18
  No.
• 28:19
  I mean, and we never talked about this, but like, I don't know about your Christmas dinner, but my family, we have about 40 some people that come, and it's the full-on Christmas dinner.
• 28:27
  Full-on.
• 28:28
  Full-on.
• 28:29
  You know, I think you're the same.
• 28:31
  We talked about this.
• 28:32
  And it's everything.
• 28:33
  The turkey, the stuffing, the potatoes, the gravy, the everything.
• 28:37
  Why would you constrict yourself by wearing tight pants?
• 28:41
  So for all those people that have to dress up to sit at the...
• 28:45
  I'm sorry.
• 28:45
  I'm sorry.
• 28:46
  Yeah.
• 28:47
  I just want to be comfy.
• 28:48
  Me too.
• 28:48
  And enjoy my meal.
• 28:49
  Exactly.
• 28:50
  So yeah.
• 28:51
  Well, that's a good tip, actually.
• 28:53
  And so if you're a dress up family at Christmas, all the best, to ya.
• 28:59
  If you're like Jennifer and me, just whatever and just enjoy.
• 29:03
  Yeah.
• 29:04
  Yeah.
• 29:04
  Do you have a tip?
• 29:05
  A Christmas tip?
• 29:05
  Do I have a tip?
• 29:07
  I think I've given away a few tips and opinions here.
• 29:11
  I don't really feel qualified to have a tip.
• 29:13
  All right.
• 29:14
  Well, easy did I, but I threw it out there.
• 29:16
  No, that was a good tip, though.
• 29:17
  That was a good tip.
• 29:18
  My tip would be, I don't know what my tip would be.
• 29:20
  My tip would be, I don't know, just like, I don't know, just don't go to the mall.
• 29:26
  Don't go to the mall.
• 29:28
  That is a good tip.
• 29:28
  And listen, don't go to the mall on Boxing Day.
• 29:32
  That's like, you may as well just go.
• 29:34
  It's like, you know what that reminds me of?
• 29:36
  The running of the bulls in Spain.
• 29:38
  But the deal, do you agree, okay, let's get on this topic for a quick second, that the deals just aren't what they used to be anyway.
• 29:45
  So there's no need to go.
• 29:46
  And it's like month long.
• 29:48
  When I was a teenager, yeah, that's right, Boxing Day has turned into Boxing 6 months.
• 29:52
  But anyway, when I was a teenager, I would get up at 5 a.m.
• 29:55
  and go stand in line at A&B Sound to get my cassette tape player for like $19.
• 30:02
  They don't have nothing like that anymore.
• 30:04
  No, I agree.
• 30:05
  So I'm not getting up.
• 30:06
  Me either.
• 30:06
  And I'm not going to the mall.
• 30:08
  Like I say, it's like Spain, the running of the bulls.
• 30:09
  You're going to get trampled.
• 30:11
  Somebody's going to run over you.
• 30:12
  And again, it's a month long sale.
• 30:13
  There's no need people.
• 30:14
  No, exactly.
• 30:15
  And thank God for Amazon and the Boxing Day sales on Amazon.
• 30:18
  But anyway, all right.
• 30:19
  Well, Jennifer, that's it.
• 30:20
  That's our time.
• 30:21
  Wow.
• 30:22
  What a year.
• 30:23
  What a year.
• 30:23
  What a year.
• 30:24
  Stay tuned because we are going to do a podcast A Year In Review.
• 30:27
  We are, and I'm excited for our A Year In Review.
• 30:30
  I want to say thank you to all our listeners.
• 30:31
  Yes.
• 30:33
  You've been fantastic.
• 30:34
  You have.
• 30:34
  Our numbers have grown.
• 30:36
  It's been a little humbling.
• 30:39
  It's like when we started, we thought maybe our families.
• 30:43
  But then we thought they get bored after like three episodes.
• 30:48
  And so we've really tried to do our best to bring you people and guests that you find interesting and maybe encouraging, that kind of stuff.
• 30:57
  And I want to say thank you to our guests.
• 30:59
  Yes.
• 31:00
  And we'll talk more about that in our year end review.
• 31:01
  We will, but just something.
• 31:03
  No one has said no to us, Cam.
• 31:05
  Nobody.
• 31:05
  No one.
• 31:06
  Nobody.
• 31:07
  So thank you.
• 31:08
  Yeah.
• 31:08
  Well, actually one person.
• 31:09
  I won't mention that one, but I know why.
• 31:12
  And they have a very good reason.
• 31:13
  Okay, it's a valid reason, yes.
• 31:14
  It's a scary thing to tell.
• 31:16
  Anyways, but nobody has.
• 31:18
  No.
• 31:19
  And we've got great guests coming in the new year.
• 31:22
  I am excited for 2025.
• 31:24
  It's going to be fantastic.
• 31:25
