Mistletoe, Ivy, & Pine

Wellness Loud
About this episode

Our stories today have us decorating and crafting and enjoying the outdoors. We’ll start with Mistletoe and Marmalade, as the tree goes up, and the animals debate pulling it back down. Then we’ll hear The Holly and the Ivy, where we can step out after the snow has fallen and cut some greenery for handmade gifts. Finally we’ll hear The Tree Farm. We’ll ride the tractor through the fields, and connect someone who needs something, with something that needs a home.
