Hi, friends. Mary Christmas. It's day 12. The 12 days of Christmas here at that sounds fun. My name is Annie F Downs. I'm the host of this little Christmas party. I know I can't believe we're already at our last day. The end of the party. I never want a party to end. You know that. But if it's got to end. I wanted to end just like this. I'm so glad you've joined us. I hope you've enjoyed our show for me yesterday with

Angela Johnson. She's so much fun. Remember you can back up and listen to any of our 12 days of Christmas. And just a quick note. We will not have any shows for the next couple of weeks as all the elves take a little break from our 12 days of Christmas. We got a lot of cleaning up to do around here. It's been a wild party as you can imagine. But we'll be back on December 28 and just a couple of weeks with our old friend Eddie Coppoltz. My co-host of Annie and Eddie keep talking. We'll be back on the 28th with our

year end recap that is sure to be spicy. I mean, how else do you recap 2020? Am I right? Hey, the music in the background. It's from our friends. Rind collective. They have been so generous to let us use this music for the whole party. Best soundtrack we could ask for. Make sure you grab a copy of their new Christmas album, a Jolly Irish Christmas volume to and make sure you go tell them thanks again for being so generous to the show. And have you had a chance to pre-order that sounds fun. The bug just our mind are that when you pre-order you could submit your

receipt and get the audiobook now instead of having to wait until February when the book comes out. What a great little thing to listen to while you're driving or cooking or cleaning or cleaning up Christmas or setting up Christmas wherever you are in the system. Then just a reminder that the first 3000 people who order it from Barnes and Noble will get an autographed copy. And if you pre-order it as a gift for someone else, first of all, thank you. That's such a good idea. Secondly, be sure to download the Christmas card at that sounds fun book.com. So you have something to hang

on to let them know about their gift. Before we jump into today's episode, I want to take a minute and tell you about one of our amazing partners, if gathering. I want to tell you about this event. I'm going to be a part of it next year. And it is for all of us. You've heard me talk about it before and you know and love our friend, Ginny Allen from the time she's been on the show. But it's called if gathering and I want you to be a part of it. It's a two day virtual event that you can stream right where you are. Some of our favorite Bible teachers will be teaching live. No one has to tell you that this year's

event hard. It's felt confusing and divided and challenging. But there is still a reason to have hope. God is still on the move. If gathering 2021 is March 5th and 6th. And we're going to talk about just that. The theme of those two days is going to be even if, even if the worst happens we don't lose hope. It's one weekend with thousands and thousands of you joining us. Right from where you are with one purpose to come before God and ask the question how do you want us to live. To get your people together in your places, however you feel safe and how you're

whatever that looks for you, this March 5th and 6th.

Do not miss this y'all.

Join us live that weekend and feel free to tell everybody

you know so they can get on it too.

I'm gonna be a part of it this year

and I hope you will too.

If gathering again is March 5th and 6th

If you've been around for our Christmas parties before,

then you know I like to get my parents

who Eddie Coughold says named Mr. and Miss F Downs.

I like to get my parents involved in today for the last part,

the last day, the last show of our 12 days of Christmas.

I wanted us to talk about Jesus.
