Ep. #5 ~ Christmas With Hot Apple Cider W/ Laureen Gunther

Christmas is really one of my favourite times of year! Truth is, I've struggled over the whole commercialization of it, especially the last decade but, it remains a very magical time where I focus on the blessing of family, friends, and the spirit of sharing stories of wonder over great food and drinks. This past weekend I had the awesome opportunity for Laureen Gunther to join my wife and I in the living room of our home and share about her latest co-authored publication called Christmas With Hot Apple Cider. She is a prolific author as she writes in numerous community newsletters and a huge advocate for the incredible artistic town of Rosebud Alberta. While not wanting to "spill all the cider" we share in the podcast, we cover a range of topics including her connection with this community called Hot Apple Cider, her story of a Christmas blessing, diverse traditions of Christmas celebrations, the meaning of Christmas and how immigration reflects the magic of the incarnation, and the richness of family during the Christmas season. I hope you enjoy this episode of The Inception Of Wonder Podcast and please feel free to visit us on iTunes while subscribing to future publications. I would also welcome you to rate the podcast while leaving a comment on your thoughts to the show.
