Speaker 1 (00:19):
I hope you enjoyed today's episode.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
You will enjoy the show.

Speaker 4 (00:29):
I'm sorry, y'all. I'm in a very good move today.
So I'm gonna tell you why. Why. It is the holidays,
and I enjoy the holidays, and I enjoy it because
it's the time to be around family.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
It's the end of the year, you know, so you
start to lighten up a little bit.

Speaker 4 (00:54):
You know, we've had a lot of challenges this past year.
So you know, you just try to find a way
to lighting yourself up, you know, you know, to be
a little more in the mood if you will. That's all,
you know, the lights and the singing, and you know,

(01:15):
a lot of times most people are more pleasant around
this time of year, you know, pleasant in the sense
of walking around in stores, not pleasant when you're driving.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
So but I think, you know, I'm just in a
better mood, you know. So what about yourself?

Speaker 1 (01:36):
I am doing well. It's the most wonderful time of
the year, as you know, because they start playing Christmas
music right basically November first, and I've been enjoying it, well,
not quite Novembers, but whenever they started, I've been listening
to it. So yes, it's the most wonderful time of
the year, and I'm with you on this journey of happiness.

Speaker 4 (02:03):
So, uh, the only thing I'm not happy about is
the wallet afterwards, because.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
I'm a little empty.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
I think that the ah.

Speaker 4 (02:28):
Spending could be a little crazy sometimes, especially with inflation
and things like that. You know, you try to hold
back or you see something like, hey, you know what,
that sounds like a good price for today because the
prices are so high or whatever whatever it might be.
But uh, yeah, walllet'd be a little flat. Yeah, it'd

(02:53):
be a little flat sometime. But but I do enjoy
the season.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
Ah.

Speaker 4 (02:59):
It seems like I said, it seems like people are
more nice around this time overall overall, you know. So
now let's understand this. I understand the reason for the season,
and I'm not going to confuse that, you know what
I mean. But overall, I think even through his commercialization

(03:22):
of the Christmas holiday, people kind of seem like they
enjoy it too.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
To be honest, really, to be honest, I.

Speaker 4 (03:32):
Think from Halloween on people start to like their whole
mentality changes the fourth quarter of the year.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
That's just my opinion, what you think.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
I think everybody, like I said, pretty much enlightens up.
I think there's other things to think about. You know,
you're thinking about others and not just yourself. The spirit
of giving, the spirit of receiving, receiving those discounts, receiving
those Black Friday sales, receiving those buy one, get one,

(04:02):
you know, all those great things that you like to receive,
and then as well as giving to others, giving back
to the community, giving back to your family, all of
those things kind of help us through this time. It's
the end of the year, as you said, which allows
us to reflect back on what we've accomplished and haven't

(04:25):
accomplished during the year and looking forward to what is
to come. So most of the times, for most of us,
that's positive. And there are some people who are not
happy around the holiday time because they don't have family,
or because they've had negative experiences with family or the holidays,

(04:47):
or they have you know, negative things about hey, moving
forward to another new year and things like that.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
So we.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
Sometimes, you know, depending on who you are. It can
be a part as eve or can be a negative,
you know, like when you got in my car and
you were like, you're playing Christmas music already, Like it's
not even Thanksgiving yet, right, you know. So I think
it just depends on you know, each person.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
Well, I think when it comes down to the holiday.

Speaker 4 (05:18):
At least Christmas, you know, because of the spirit of giving,
the spirit of uh you know, the lights, the decorations
and things like that, because I would say probably more
people celebrate Christmas than probably any other holiday together, and
Christmas kind of brings more people together into some degree

(05:40):
than any other holiday. Now I used to think it
was Thanksgiving, but Thanksgiving doesn't seem doesn't have the same
type of flair anymore in my opinion.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
So, you because as we get older, Thanksgivings just one day,
you know, and for some people they have to turn
around and go to work the next day.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
Yeah, you're right.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
So the fact that it's on a Thursday, and you know,
like I said, you may have to turn around and
go to work the next day, So it's not so
much to be excited about, you know. And then again
as you get older, depending if you're going to go visit,
or if you are having to prepare food yourself, then

(06:28):
it can be taxing as well, right right, you know,
so even if you don't have to cook, if you
want a clean up committee, right, you know what I mean?
So either cleaning up before everybody gets there or cleaning
up afterwards. Yeah, it could be a lot, It could
be a lot.

Speaker 4 (06:46):
So I just you know, I would like to know
how are y'all for this holiday time? You know, and
I understand everyone is not in a They're not always
in a great space, you know. You know, for an example, uh,
we hosted Thanksgiving dinner one year, and then we hosted

(07:10):
it again, and we haven't hosted it since. And part
of that reason, you know, our first year hosting Thanksgiving dinner,
conference father was with us. The second year he was sick,
and then after that he had passed. So but you know,

(07:30):
we have to say that that one Thanksgiven holiday that
we we hosted probably was the the best holiday experience
I can relate to as an adult, right, I mean
that was fun. I mean, we we played games, we
had guests. I mean, you know, you know, you have

(07:53):
a holiday and you could say you have fifty sixty
people in your in your crib. That's a lot of people.
I mean, that's a lot of people. I mean it's
hard to get to that point now because unfortunately, I
mean that was over ten years ago, you know, and
we've had a lot of people, you know, become ill,
can kind of do things on their own. A lot
of people passed away, a few people even moved away,

(08:16):
you know, so you know, but that that, uh, that
holiday was like on point. I mean that was that
was fun people upstairs downstairs and for those of you
who understands what a Chisholm little party is, we appreciate
y'all because y'all helped make that thing pop, you know.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
I mean in the party didn't stuff. I don't know
if it was that first year, was it the second year,
but we didn't even let people leave, like they didn't
want to leave. I remember, like it was twelve one
o'clock in the morning. They're like, all right, it's good
frid I mean, it's it's Black Friday. You're ready to
go shopping. I know, right, I think like they ate
one more time and then went shopping, came back and

(08:58):
ate again. I was like, okay, like you know that
was you know how we have always, I guess, envisioned
the holidays to be, and like we said, you know,
it hasn't been like that in a while. But we
look forward to the time when our kids get a
little bit older and we and they're bringing their friends
and family over, and then it can be that way again,

(09:19):
you know. So as like you said, as we get older,
things change, the people change or whatever. Even our friends
are older, you know, they're not gonna pull up a
piece of carpet and like, oh yeah, I'm cool and
right here on the floor.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
Like do you have a bed, right.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
Yeah, that I'm going home in my own bed, you know.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
So you know I do. I sleep with pat machine,
you know, rubed.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
Some things down, you know, so yeah, meaning my knees
and my my you know, back and stuff like that sometimes.
But you know, it's just it's different now than it
was back then. But you know, look forward to times
and perhaps it can get back to the point where
it's the never ending party, right because it was good times.

(10:06):
It was good times.

Speaker 4 (10:07):
I enjoyed it, you know, so I think also the
pandemic kind of hurt it a little bit too. But
but like I said, you know, just with the people
passing away and people moving away has really stretched the
family some, you know. But I would say, like I
still enjoy this time of year though.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
Like I really, I really do. Yeah, I mean, I
really do.

Speaker 4 (10:31):
So you know, let me know what y'all think, y'all.
You know how y'all feeling about it, you know, what's
your vibe on it?

Speaker 2 (10:39):
Because there's so much we could say or do about this.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
But you know, I mean, are people still having big
family gatherings? I talked to quite a few coworkers before
we went out on the break, and a lot of
them weren't having large gatherings, you know. And some of
it maybe because of the pandemic, like you said, maybe
because hey, family has changed and people are not around

(11:02):
anymore or can't get around. But it just seemed like
you no, no. And then the one person, I think
she was expecting maybe fifteen people, and she was stressed
about that. Oh my gosh, I'm gonna have to set
up two tables, like girl, please, like.

Speaker 2 (11:15):
Man, listen, like that ain't nothing, man.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
You know, she says, I normally just have like, you know,
eight people. I'm like, oh good, that's like Rekord dinner, Like.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
Well, that's people. That's people going like, Marie's what you
doing today?

Speaker 4 (11:30):
I got some hamburgers in the back right, fire up
the grill type thing.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
You know. So yeah, eight people is nothing.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
It's nothing.

Speaker 4 (11:38):
I mean, I'm sorry, weird. That sounds a little boastful.
Let's let's revise it. Okay, all right, we apologize for
those of you you know who mean I have that
type of experience. Right's let's be more inclusive.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
Yes, so eight.

Speaker 4 (11:53):
People, it's not that difficult first for us, Okay, you know,
but I will say that fifty people, I'm not sure
how you would handle that. I'm not sure. But it
was fun. Now, now, I will say that it can

(12:17):
be a little difficult trying to entertain everybody at once.
But if everybody's laughing and joking and playing cards and
you know, playing.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
Movies, and we had something going for each person, Like
there was video games in.

Speaker 4 (12:28):
One room, I mean, the kids were up and down
the steps playing with toys and whatever.

Speaker 1 (12:34):
A concert movie or whatever one in another room. We
had a card game, you know in one room and
one area and poker poker okay, pinuckle poker. Yeah, And
so it was just a good time, you know, And
it was to me, as I said to my recent
kind of like it was our our wedding. Uh, what's

(12:56):
that thing called reception? Because it was sides of our family.
You know, it was his family mother and father's side.
It was my family, mother and father's side. And very
rarely I think, do people have that type of experience
where both sides of their family, you know, are all
under one roof.

Speaker 4 (13:17):
Well, I was going to say, you know, in that
that's a testament probably to us too, because you know,
we're kind of laid back individuals. You know, you don't
we don't have a whole lot of drama. We don't
come with a whole lot of drama. You don't hear
about us fussing and fighting and cussing each other around
and kicking one person out, and you don't get all that.

Speaker 2 (13:37):
So you know, we don't give In my opinion, it's.

Speaker 4 (13:40):
Just me, don't give ammunition to the in laws to
hate the other person.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
Do you see what I'm saying? You know, so.

Speaker 4 (13:51):
Where I look at some other family members, it's like, hey,
you only you really don't like the in laws because
of what you've been told.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
You get what I mean?

Speaker 4 (14:02):
You know, where but if the in laws are cool,
down to earth, you know, vibe like yo, like, come on,
let's let's make it happen.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
Let's have some fun.

Speaker 4 (14:11):
Plus plus, I think our families like the party too
much too, you get what I mean. They're like, you know,
they like the family environment. They like to laugh and
joke and like I said, we were the same boat,
you know. So if you give off that type of energy,
you get the energy like you know so, But let
us know what you'all think. You know what your holidays

(14:31):
are like?

Speaker 2 (14:32):
And are you in the joyous mood that I'm in?

Speaker 4 (14:37):
Happy holidays? Happy holidays? Don't you know what the reality is?
I don't even know the words. I know that part.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
Happy holidays all ringing out and see that's not the
word it words? Is it? Say? There you go say
That's what I'm told. Y'all. Thank you very much for
two today. We will talk to y'all later. Talk to
you later, Happy holidays.
