Episode Description
What childhood memories does Christmas conjure for you? Is it making cookies with Grandma, singing Christmas carols with neighbors, or fighting with your sibling over who gets to open the first present? Just a few days before Christmas, let’s celebrate some of the magic of the season together. We’ll revisit childhood memories, embrace family Christmas traditions, and of course listen in as children’s book author Brandi Dougherty reads from some of her most celebrated works. Brandi will also share how and why she became a children’s book author and what she hopes her books will inspire in her readers. Along the way, both of us share fond memories from the holidays and our connection to family. Intended to be holiday- and family-affirming, this episode has something for everyone and will inspire you to reminisce about your own favorite holiday stories.
