Episode # 1321 - Christmas Memories

Today after a slow start and due to holiday traffic, the show picks up right away.  Also, Father Anthony brings up for everyone their favorite Christmas Memories today, with Tony providing some very interesting and perhaps low/depressing memories, saying it's a bad, worse season for him.  However, he does share some positive ones.  With what Tony brings up, Father Anthony points out many of the "dark" things that have plagued our world lately, including suicide and other things.  After the first break, Father Anthony asks Christina and Gerri to share their fondest and best Christmas memories.  Father Anthony also shares a story with Christmas in mind with Christmas memories shared by everyone.  Unfortunately, Father Anthony is still coughing and he tries to get through the show, and he does.  Despite that and because it's Christmas, Father Anthony shares the traditional story of Barrington Bunny.  With this and other stories in mind, this brings up two topics towards the end of the show: the feeling of loss and the greatest gift of giving during Christmas.
