There is a bit of a festive spirit around the Cozy Christmas Lodge today... we are celebrating 150 episodes! I want to thank you all for your support and participation in what has become one of the most creatively satisfying experiences of my life.
So today we start off by looking to the future of Christmas Celebrations, and see what kind of Christmas songs and stories A.I. can make up. While it doesn't go horribly wrong, it does feel kind of... soulless. Then I read a charming children's story called "Matchstick Mouse: Merry Little Christmas" which is written by one of our faithful listeners, Morgan O'Brien! Then I finally am able to sit down with Gracie and catch up on her life. We talk about the "Home for the Holidays" variety show we participated in, including all the details about the Christmas Carol skit. Then we talked about the musical "Wicked", Christmas Music, and the first question of a new segment called Ask Gracie Anything, in which I try to explain who and what the Glo-Friends were.
