Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ban Hey, it's Delilah. Thank you for stopping by. I
have put together some of my favorite radio moments here
to share with you on our daily podcast through Hey,
it's Delilah. I'm so glad you're here. It's no secret
(00:22):
Santa Claus is coming to town. You can meet me
right here each weekday for holiday audio hugs and gifts
in the form of your memories, your stories, things you anticipate,
and your traditions all season long.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Hi, good evening, Welcome to the Delilah Show. Who is this.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Hi, My name's La.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
What can I do for you? Oh?
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Not eight months ago, I was doing some research for
a book I was writing, and it's fiction, but it's
based on my life and so monstroy Sure. I was
trying to reconnect with the people from my past, and
I found my first boyfriend, who was my first love.
I was fourteen, he was fifteen, and we were together
about a year and a half and then I moved away.
(01:10):
So I reconnected with him and we talked back and
forth and emailed back and forth, and I visited him
a few times, and now we're together for the first
time in over forty five years for our first Christmas together.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Wow, now that'll be a better book than the book
you're writing.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
I bet well.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
I know.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
I told him, I said, since it was fiction, I
knew how it's going to end it. But now I
have to completely change my hands.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
So what's his name?
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Name of Allen?
Speaker 2 (01:38):
And it's been how many years since you were with him?
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Well almost forty five?
Speaker 2 (01:43):
And is he as cute as he was back in
high school?
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Yeah, that's why I think. So he has blood hair
and I have a few more pounds, but oh well.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Less hair, a few more pounds. But does he still
have the twinkle in his eye that you fell in
love with its fourteen?
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Absolutely, there are so many of his mannerisms that I remember.
It's like it just shoots me right back. And you say,
and I've been telling I know, he's probably stick a hair.
And then I say, oh my gosh, you did that
exactly the same way back then.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
And do you have a song that will be your
song this Christmas season?
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Or can I pick one.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Out for you for you to pick one for us?
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Congratulations.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
I hope your book is successful and that your love
for here on out is even more successful.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Thank you, Delilah. And you have a wonderful Christmas.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Welcome to the Delilah Show, Gina. What can I do
for you tonight?
Speaker 5 (02:40):
I'd like to dedicate a song to my fiance and
my son.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
What's your fiance's name?
Speaker 6 (02:46):
Bill?
Speaker 4 (02:47):
And your son he's Peter? How old is Peter? Listen
to you grinn when you mentioned his name?
Speaker 5 (02:53):
Nine and a half?
Speaker 4 (02:55):
And what can I play for your family tonight?
Speaker 5 (02:57):
You can't pick up whatever? You see this?
Speaker 4 (03:00):
And what do you want to tell the men that
you love?
Speaker 5 (03:02):
But I loved them so very much and both of
them coming into our lives were a huge miracle. My son,
you know, came into our lives. I was a single parent,
such a blessing. And my fiance I was walking the
dog with my son are actually eight and a half
years later, and he was a neighbor, you know, and
(03:25):
we had exchanged weather pleasantries every so once in a while,
and one day he said, you know, are you alone?
I never see you walked up with anyone else, and
I said, yeah, yeah, it's just me and my son
and my dog, you know. And he asked me out.
And I hadn't gone out, you know, nine years or
eight and a half years. I was, you know, totally
concentrated on being a mom and on my jobs and
(03:46):
things like that. And so it was my first date
in like nine.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Years, and it sounds like your last date. Yeah, he's
your fiance. Well, I hope you still date. I hope
that you still continue to date for years to come.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
We do still date, I hope so too. Yeah, we
got engaged October thirtieth.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Congratulations. I will play a song. And this will be
your first Christmas as a family. Yes, did you go
get a little Christmas ornament?
Speaker 5 (04:13):
Yes, we've gotten a Christmas ornament, but Bill doesn't know yet.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
So okay, okay, you have a good night, Thanks so much.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Hi, good evening. Welcome to the Delilah Show. Merry Christmas.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Who is this Hi?
Speaker 3 (04:36):
This is Lida.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Okay, tell me your Christmas memory, Leda.
Speaker 7 (04:39):
I'm family. On Christmas Eve, we all get together, all
seventeen of us, and my dad read out the Christmas
Story from Luke too, and my eighty nine year old grandmother,
Hey's Elizabeth, and my nephew plays Baby Jesus and some
of us are wiseman, and my sister even asks like
a lamp because we usually read out of roles and
(05:00):
we always invite someone who doesn't have a family to
solive Christmas Eve with us.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
So your family does a living Nativity scene?
Speaker 7 (05:07):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (05:07):
How fun?
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Yes?
Speaker 7 (05:09):
So we always like silly and it's lots of fun.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
And who are you this Christmas Eve?
Speaker 6 (05:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (05:14):
I might be a shepherd, You might.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Be a shepherd. I think you should be an angel leader.
You sound like an angel?
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Thank you? Now do you wear costumes? Do the angels
have wings? Do the shepherds have staffs?
Speaker 7 (05:25):
Well? Usually just then go get our costumes on, and everybody,
we just get really silly.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Sort of improvises. Yeah, use a black sheet for Mary.
Good for you.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
What a wonderful way to keep the meaning of the
reason of the season in the front of your mind. Well,
you have a merry Christmas. Thank you for calling and sharing. Leada,
let me play a song for your family.
Speaker 7 (05:49):
Okay, thank you, Bye, bye, Hi.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Kathy, Hi, Duila, welcome.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
Are you doing?
Speaker 4 (06:01):
I'm wonderful?
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Tell me your favorite memory from this wonderful season.
Speaker 6 (06:07):
My favorite Christmas memory is when my family would go
down to my uncle's house, and it was like halfway
between our house and one of my other aunt's house,
so we'd go down there for dessert. We'd have our
own Christmas at her house in the morning, and then
we'd go down to my uncle's like around two o'clock
or three o'clock in the afternoon to exchange gifts to
(06:28):
eat dessert, and then about twelve of us cousins would
go away on Christmas Caroline around my uncle's neighborhood and
we would argue about who would ring the doorbell in
to the next house, and we'd argue about what songs
were going to sing when we got to the house,
and sometimes we'd sing two different songs.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
So you were sort of the misfit carollers.
Speaker 6 (06:47):
Yeah, we weren't very good at all.
Speaker 8 (06:49):
But instead of hearing, you know, the neighbors would open
the door in here, you know, oh Christmas tree, you'd
be singing Jingle bell, Jingle bell jing, Oh mystery rock.
All right, Kathy, you have a wonderful holiday.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
Hi Todd, This is Delilah.
Speaker 9 (07:12):
How are you wonderful? Merry Christmas?
Speaker 4 (07:15):
Thank you, Merry Christmas to you. What can I do
for you?
Speaker 9 (07:18):
Well, I'm thinking of my wife and my kids tonight,
where my wife and I are baking our cutout cookies
and getting ready for our children to decorate them tomorrow,
and just wanted to hear a special holiday song for
my special wife and my four beautiful children.
Speaker 8 (07:33):
So are these like sugar cookies cut out cookies? Yep,
just a little hand. I'm sure you know this because
it sounds like you've done it in the past. But
do not wait until they're golden brown, okay, or you
will have to drill holes in them and hang them
on the tree.
Speaker 9 (07:47):
Well, that would look nice on our tree right about now, but.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
You will not be able to eat them.
Speaker 9 (07:53):
I'll try not to let them get gold and brown.
I'll pull them up before.
Speaker 8 (07:57):
My friend Lynn, you know, told me that little secret
after she made some golden brown ones.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
I think she broke a tooth on them too.
Speaker 6 (08:04):
That would hurt.
Speaker 9 (08:05):
My wife bakes tons of cookies, so she's standing over
my shoulder kind of breaking me in tonight.
Speaker 8 (08:10):
So well, have fun with how many children do you have?
Speaker 9 (08:14):
I have four? I have a boy and three girls.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
We'll have fun with the kid's dad and God bless you.
Speaker 9 (08:19):
Thank you very much, Bye bye bye now.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
I so hope you have enjoyed these radio moments.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
