About this episode

Our stories today honor some holiday traditions, new and old, starting with City Sidewalks, where we will meet up with friends for a merry evening downtown. Next we travel out to the country and visit Weathervane Farm and their barn full of rescued goats and donkeys. Finally, we’ll settle in front of the Christmas tree early on Christmas Eve and think of those dear to us, on their way near to us.
