    The Saint Who Saved Christmas

    We made it to the 'Ber months! In today's episode of a Cozy Christmas Podcast, I'll tell you the story of a saint I learned about who LITERALLY saved Christmas. We'll find out about St. Aphrodisius, and his connection to Christmas, and what lessons we can learn from his life. And then I read you another old, cozy, Christmas story called "The Tell-Tale Tile" by Olive Thorne Miller. Now, don't let the title's allusion to an Edgar Allan Poe story frighten you - this story is definetly a cozy one! It tells the story of old Miss Bennett, who gives out of her poverty to a neighbor. What impact will that have on her, especially as she fears going to the poor house? Well, tune in to find out!  Timestamps: 00:00 Intro and Catch Up 01:40 St. Aphrodisius, the Bishop of Béziers 15:00 Story Introduction 17:46 The Tell-Tale Tile by Olive Thorne Miller 35:39 Thoughts on the story, Dolly Parton, and giving to those in need Ways to support the show: Rate and review: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a-cozy-christmas-podcast/id1523423375  Buy me a coffee? www.ko-fi.com/cozychristmas  Ornaments, Mugs, and Notebooks: https://www.etsy.com/shop/CozyChristmasPodcast  Logo shirt designs: http://tee.pub/lic/edygC_h4D1c    Contact Me: facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cozychristmaspodcast  instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cozychristmaspodcast/  twitter: https://twitter.com/CozyXmasPod  youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCikiozEbu0h9pKeI1Ei5TQ email: cozychristmaspodcast@gmail.com     #podcast #christmas #christmaspodcast

    Christmas Under the Snow by Olive Thorne Miller

    Hello, and Merry Christmas everyone! So it's been awhile... but I'm so glad to be back, bringing you all the cozy Christmas vibes and classic stories of our favorite holiday season. In today's episode, I take a few minutes to share some family updates and tell you how our last Christmas went. Then, I offer a couple of book recommendations in the Cozy Christmas Book Corner before we settle in by the Christmas fire for a lovely old story called Christmas Under the Snow, by Olive Thorne Miller. Today's tale is a classic story about a pioneer family on the prairie who find themselves snowed into their lonely log cabin just days before Christmas. With their father stranded in the village while gathering supplies, food running low, and winter's grip tightening around them, the family faces an uncertain holiday. Yet even in the harshest conditions, Christmas has a way of bringing hope, warmth, and unexpected blessings. So grab a warm drink, settle into your favorite chair, and join me for this heartwarming Christmas tale!

    The Cratchit Family Christmas: A Cozy Christmas Eve 2025

    Merry Christmas! We made it. It's the most wonderful day of the year: Christmas Eve. Today, I wanted to share a few thoughts about the year behind us, what this Christmas journey has meant to me, and of course, read a story with you. I'll be reading from Charles Dickens's script of his one-man performance of A Christmas Carol, sharing one of my favorite scenes of all, the Cratchit family Christmas. It's full of warmth, joy, and the kind of cheer that makes you want to pull your chair a little closer to the fire. So settle in, pour yourself something festive, and let's enjoy these quiet moments together.     Ways to support the show: Rate and review: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a-cozy-christmas-podcast/id1523423375  Buy me a coffee? www.ko-fi.com/cozychristmas  Ornaments, Mugs, and Notebooks: https://www.etsy.com/shop/CozyChristmasPodcast  Logo shirt designs: http://tee.pub/lic/edygC_h4D1c    Contact Me: facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cozychristmaspodcast  instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cozychristmaspodcast/  twitter: https://twitter.com/CozyXmasPod  youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCikiozEbu0h9pKeI1Ei5TQ email: cozychristmaspodcast@gmail.com         #podcast #Christmas #christmaspodcast #christmascarol #scrooge #tinytim #christmasstory #cozychristmas

    Stitching Christmas: with special guest Elizabeth Duke

    Happy Christmas week, everyone! Is your shopping finished yet? Have you baked any good cookies? Today, I'm inviting you to pause for a moment and reflect on creativity, especially the beauty of bringing a handmade, home-crafted touch to Christmas. My guest is Elizabeth Duke, whose passion is teaching people how to stitch and craft in a mindful, intentional way. We talk about her career, how deliberate creativity can enrich our lives, and of course, all things Christmas. Along the way, I learn how a crafter's emotions can influence their stitching, discover the art of ice dyeing, and we share some of our favorite Christmas traditions.

    Mrs. Claus Takes a Turn!

    Merry Christmas! Today I'm back to spend a little more time with Mrs. Claus, and yes, the Christmas vibes are cranked all the way up! I share some traditions and memories sent in by listeners, then review a delightful new book, What Would Mrs. Claus Do? by Pamela McColl and Lindsay Stewart. I read a few favorite quotes and offer my thoughts on both the book and Mrs. Claus herself. After that, we gather by the Christmas fire for a reading of the narrative poem "Goody Santa Claus"—with "Goody" being an old-fashioned way of saying "Mrs." I also dive into the life of the author of the poem, Katharine Lee Bates. She was an American author best known for penning the lyrics to America the Beautiful. When it first appeared, it helped give Mrs. Claus her own voice in Christmas literature. Wherever you find yourself this week, I hope you're able to slow down, stay cozy, and savor the joy of the Christmas season.

    The Lights of Christmas - an interivew with Author Makennah Johnston

    One of my favorite parts of Christmas is the lights! My guest today is new author Makennah Johnston, who has just published a wonderful children's story called "The McBrights":  "Every Christmas Eve, the McBrights dazzle from the branches of the Evergreen Tree in Henbrook's town square, warming hearts with their old-fashioned glow. This year, however, something isn't quite right. The McBrights are left in their storage box for longer than usual, and when they are finally unpacked, they find themselves for sale at an antique store! They may be vintage, but their bulbs aren't burnt out yet. Bernie McBright is determined to get his family shining where they belong. Could the store's newest visitor be the spark the McBrights need to light up Christmas once more?" I also recommend another children's Christmas book called The Candy Cane Forest by Lindsay Ann Fink. It's a charming and colorful story of how Santa's elves plant and grow one of my favorite Christmas treats - Candy canes! After that I wrap up with a few thoughts on the lights of Christmas, and what they mean to me.  Learn more about Makennah here: https://www.blueballoonbooks.com/authors/makennah-johnston  Recommended Books: The McBrights by Makennah Johnston The Candy Cane Forest by Lindsay Ann Fink   Ways to support the show: Rate and review: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a-cozy-christmas-podcast/id1523423375  Buy me a coffee? www.ko-fi.com/cozychristmas  Ornaments, Mugs, and Notebooks: https://www.etsy.com/shop/CozyChristmasPodcast  Logo shirt designs: http://tee.pub/lic/edygC_h4D1c    Contact Me: facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cozychristmaspodcast  instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cozychristmaspodcast/  twitter: https://twitter.com/CozyXmasPod  youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCikiozEbu0h9pKeI1Ei5TQ email: cozychristmaspodcast@gmail.com     #christmas #podcast #authorinterview #christmaspodcast
