What if the gingerbread man had royal roots, and not just a cookie cutter origin? Join us as we unwrap this sweet mystery with a dash of humor and nostalgia. Our festive season kicks off with a jolly special guest, Santa Claus, who joins Barry and Holly in anticipation of the Albertville Christmas parade. Together, we embark on a flavorful taste test of cranberry jalapeno pepper jelly from Ashley K and Company. Our Thanksgiving side dish throwdown heats up as sweet potato casserole goes whisk-to-whisk with mashed potatoes and gravy, inviting our listeners to weigh in on which dish deserves the crown of holiday favorites.
As we sprinkle in some gingerbread history, we wander through a whimsical tale of Queen Elizabeth I and her courtiers, pondering how far back this holiday tradition dates. Our chatter takes a humorous turn with the iconic "hump day" camel commercials and a curious discussion on Target's decision to stop accepting large bills. Could you imagine shopping with a $10,000 bill? We uncover the faces behind these rare denominations, while Barry shares his personal journey toward healthier eating habits. Join us for a show that's part history lesson, part culinary adventure, and all-around holiday fun!
