0:00.0	They claim that our eyes could still see clear to the sky, different from what they all are.
0:27.0	Welcome to Strange Familiars. Merry Christmas to those who celebrate happy winter holidays, whatever holidays you celebrate.
0:57.0	Thank you so much for listening. Thank everybody for tuning in this year and for helping us make Strange Familiars happen. How are you doing, Allison, on this fine day after the solstice?
1:11.0	Well, I'm reveling in the extra 22 seconds of light this morning.
1:18.0	We're quickly headed towards Christmas and I have a very special talk with Brother Richard coming up from this episode.
1:27.0	We talk about St. Nicholas, the real St. Nicholas. We talk about Christmas as an eternal event, Christmas apparitions, grave lights, Christmas decorations, and kind of what they mean, the meetings behind them.
1:40.0	And a lot more. It's another wonderful talk with Brother Richard. We'll get to that in a minute. Brother Richard comes on the show, he takes his time to do it, and he asks nothing for it.
1:50.0	I've asked him before, is there any place we can donate? And he gave me links to the Capuchin Day Center in Ireland, which is run by the Brothers of Brother Richard's Order.
2:03.0	And you can make a donation there, www.capuchindaycenter, and they spell center the incorrect way. It's C-A-P-U-C-H-I-N-D-A-Y-C-E-N-T-R-E.
2:20.0	That's www.capuchindaycenter.ie, and you can also donate to the American mission at www.cskdetroit.org.
2:35.0	And that's to help their work with the homeless. It's a good cause. You can find links in the show notes every episode. We put those links in there.
2:44.0	It would be nice this time of year if you have some extra. If you can point it in that direction, if you enjoy Brother Richard's talks on the show, and if you enjoy Strange Familiars, we certainly would be happy for some donations to go that way from Strange Familiars listeners.
2:59.0	Alright, let's go ahead and get to my second annual Christmas talk with Brother Richard.
3:07.0	I'd like to welcome Brother Richard back to Strange Familiars. How are you doing, Brother Richard?
3:17.0	I'm good. Thanks. It's good to be back with you.
3:20.0	It's always great to have you on, and I'm very excited for a Christmas show. Our second annual Christmas show with Brother Richard. Thanks so much for coming on.
3:28.0	No problem. No problem. I'm just happy that the Irish invasion of Strange Familiars continues.
3:36.0	Yes, yes. Between Monster Fuzz and Brother Richard and a couple other guests we've had. We're basically an Irish podcast at this point.
3:45.0	Yeah, definitely. Doing your bit to cement the special relationship between the US and Ireland over all these years.
3:52.0	There you go. The Monster Fuzz guys, and I have a back and forth about chips versus drawn a blank. Would you call potato chips there?
4:02.0	Oh, crisps. Crisp chips versus crisps. Yeah. So we're going to do a chip versus crisp exchange because they've only had leaves, which is not a good representation of America chips.
4:17.0	So we will have to have the great Ireland versus America potato chip slash crisp challenge.
