Wednesday, December 23rd, 2020Today’s podcast is one of my favorites. It’ll take you for a Christmas small airplane ride. And here’s a Christmas story by Alice Emory, sent by Proud Podcast Person “Betsy Girl.”
One of my own favorite memories is from when I was about 8 years old. It was a few days before Christmas, and I remember my mom was putting some finishing touches on the tree. My older brother and I could barely contain our excitement, and he went and got his brown Fisher Price record player, and the 45 of Billy Joel’s “Uptown Girl.” At the time, we thought this was pretty much one of the greatest songs ever composed. (I kind of still stand by this…) We played the record over and over, and held hands and danced around the tree while my mom strung tinsel. To this day, I associate the “whoa oh oh oh oooohs!” of that song with memories of a sun-filled room, and feelings of happy anticipation and joy. A bit random, I know. But as I said, oftentimes it’s these oddball, unexpected little moments that stay with us. And it’s a sweet reminder if you’re worried about your own children’s happy memories, that the smallest, seemingly insignificant moments (to you) will last forever in their hearts and minds.

Texas Ty’s Dietary
Christmas Cookie Rules…
If you eat a Christmas cookie fresh out of the oven, it has no calories because everyone knows that the first cookie is the test and thus calorie free.
If you drink a diet soda after eating your second cookie, it also has no calories because the diet soda cancels out the cookie calories.
If a friend comes over while you’re making your Christmas cookies and needs to sample, you must sample with your friend. Because your friend’s first cookie is calories free, (rule #1) yours is also. It would be rude to let your friend sample alone; and, being the friend that you are, that makes your cookie calorie free.
Any cookie calories consumed while walking around will fall to your feet and eventually fall off as you move. This is due to gravity and the density of the caloric mass.
Any calories consumed during the frosting of the Christmas cookies will be used up because it takes many calories to lick excess frosting from a knife without cutting your tongue.
Cookies colored red or green have very few calories. Red ones have three and green ones have five – one calorie for each letter. Make more red ones!
Cookies eaten while watching “Miracle on 34th Street” have no calories because they are part of the entertainment package and not part of one’s because they are part of the entertainment package and not part of one’s personal fuel.
As always, cookie pieces contain no calories because the process of breaking causes calorie leakage.
Any cookies consumed from someone else’s plate have no calories since the calories rightfully belong to the other person and will cling to their plate. We all know how calories like to CLING!
Any cookies consumed while feeling stressed have no calories because cookies used for medicinal purposes NEVER have calories.
It’s a rule! So, go out and enjoy those Christmas Cookies – we only get them this time of the year.
