the opportunity to meet along myjourney, who have helped enrich
me in my life in beautiful waysand who I hope will do the same
in yours.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
I'll say probably like the clay animation Rudolph
the Red Nose Reindeer.
Yeah, you didn't think I wasgoing to say that.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
I didn't think you were going to say that.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
No, I was trying to link it up, but I didn't think
you were going to say thatSilver and gold.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
No, but you know what I always thought was scary with
that?
The Yeti.
How about you Z?
Speaker 3 (01:10):
I think my top two would have to be Elf.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
That's a good one.
And, oh, that's a good one.
Home Alone oh that's a good one.
Welcome to today's episode,where I'm joined by two of my
four wonderful children as weexplore timeless traditions that
we've created as a familyCelebrating the joy of the
holiday season.
(01:33):
Join us today on this journeyas we unwrap the magic of the
holiday season together.
So welcome, jonah and Zion, totoday's episode, or, as I
affectionately like to call them, three and four.
Can you tell the listeners alittle bit about who you are?
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Sure, I'm Jonah Morris.
I'm her number three and I'm asecond year in college.
I was featured in podcasts thissummer.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Hi, my name is Zion Morris and I'm number four and
I'm currently a junior in highschool and I'm bad at soccer
board in school.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
How do you like that so far?
Speaker 3 (02:10):
I like it a lot.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
What are some of your favorite classes?
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Math, english and science.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
So thank you both for sitting down with me today on
this episode.
Would you like to share withthe listeners a cherished
Christmas tradition thatresonates deeply with you?
Speaker 3 (02:31):
I got a couple, I have one.
Be the first to wake up runningaround the house trying to get
everybody woken up so we canopen presents faster.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
So, in your opinion, who was always the hardest, or
who was the hardest to wake upfor Christmas morning?
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Probably you.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
I would not say me, I would defer to somebody else.
I think I'm the first one up.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Nah, we're always down there, and then we're like
who are we waiting for it is you?
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Yep, and dad's always like I need my cup of coffee.
He makes his cup of coffee, andthen we wait for mom.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Yeah, because I might need just a few more minutes of
sleep.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
And my second tradition is when we were
driving around Rochester todifferent families' houses and
put ornaments on their trees,and I think one of my favorite
parts about that is we wouldsneak around acting like we were
trying not to get caught by thefamilies.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Now that you mentioned that tradition, I want
to kind of piggyback with goingaround and dropping off
different ornaments at differentpeople's homes during the
holiday season.
There was one year where one ofthe families that we had
dropped off an ornament on theiroutside tree.
I remember one time coming homeand there was an ornament left
(03:44):
on our tree and to this day youknow, several years later this
ornament it's a star ornament.
It's been weathered by time butit's still there in the same
spot where this family droppedit off.
And so when we're outside inthe summertime or the spring
getting the yard together andwe're pruning the tree, I happen
(04:06):
upon.
You know, this ornament Justbrings such beautiful memory for
me as well.
So thank you for sharing those.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
I'd probably say just running around was easy, trying
to get everyone up, just reallywaiting for everyone to come
downstairs.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Can you share a heartwarming or humorous
Christmas memory that stands outin your mind?
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Oh, there was like this one Christmas I got like
these like packets where if yousqueeze them they're like so
frown, so they just like smelledterrible, and I squeezed one
and threw it in my brother'sroom.
He got so angry and he poppedall of them and then just gave
them to me.
It was terrible.
That was that one.
(04:46):
First of all, the downstairssmell like eggs for like a month
Zion Not funny to me but funnyto you guys, okay, usually we're
supposed to take ourcandies and food products, and
upstairs and I left all mycandies down there and I came
back the next day.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
They're all gone.
Raffer's all over the floor andthe dog got into it.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Are there any family traditions that we've created
together over the years that youguys would like to see continue
?
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Not something that we created, Something that's been
passed down to your family isdoing New Year's Eve black eyed
peas 1159.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
New Year's Eve going into New Year's, and do you know
why we do that?
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Because of the sign of good luck.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Yeah, ever since you're a little, that's what
we've always done.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
I'd say one of my favorite ones that I hope gets
passed down is usually likeevery room has its own Christmas
tree, even if it's small or big, it really encompasses the
Christmas feeling to see aChristmas tree everywhere you go
, especially because each one isdifferent.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Can you tell the listeners what your Christmas
tree is?
Speaker 2 (05:57):
It's got a small Christmas tree, it has lights,
and then it's got letters, myname spelled out on the bottom
of the tree, and that's just apicture of myself on the tree
too.
So it's funny.
I think that's like a picture Icreated when I was like in
kindergarten, or something thatI gave to my parents.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
How about you Zee?
Speaker 3 (06:19):
My Christmas tree.
It has a little picture of me.
It's got snowmen, it's gotsnowflakes, it has blue and
white colors on it, and yellowtoo.
I think that's it.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
What would be your holiday wish you would want to
share with others?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I'd say peace to solvable hunger and love.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
My wish for other families is probably peace, love
and joy.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
So, from our family to yours, may your holiday
season be filled with warmth andthe echoes of cherished
memories, and may the blessingsof this season illuminate your
path with warmth, wonder andpeace.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
I want Mariah, like it's only hip hop, and Mariah
Carey the song one.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Favorite Mariah Carey Christmas song.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Not mine, it's not a question, because everyone knows
.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Well, some people may not know.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
All I want for Christmas is you.
