Ever wondered why the air feels just a little bit brighter when Christmas is around the corner? Join me, Mike Ennis, as we unpack the festive clues of the season—from the classic tunes and sparkling lights to the scrumptious meals and the slight pinch in our wallets. We’ll also explore local holiday highlights, like the "Sounds of the Season" event featuring Santa and a Christmas concert, along with a fun opportunity to enter Trimont's 2024 Christmas lighting contest. Whether you're in it for the community spirit or just the chamber bucks, this episode promises all the holiday cheer you need.
We shift gears to discuss a less joyous topic—the recent rise in tax bills impacting homeowners—while also celebrating the life of the incredible Justin Fitzgerald. Adding some levity, Tanya Taylor shares an amusing tale of a rental car mishap in "God Hides in the Details." And remember the iconic Cabbage Patch Kids craze? We compare it with this year's unique gift lineup, from vibrating toothbrushes to the Chill Pill sleep-aid. Wrapping up, we highlight Covenant Church’s heartwarming Thanksgiving initiative, offering meals to all without income barriers. Plus, keep your ears peeled for a special Christmas podcast surprise!
