Hello and welcome to the MS for Mama podcast. I'm your host, Abby Halberstadt, happy wife, Mama to Ten, Bible Believing Christian. And we are going to do a Christmas Q&A. If you don't know, I have, I think, four different episodes devoted to our family's traditions for Christmas,

0:22.5

our thoughts on Santa.

0:23.9

I go into them in depth.

0:25.6

However, this is just going to be a quick, oh man, guys, we know I'm not quick, but

0:30.9

a more rapid fire response to some questions that people send in on social media about

0:37.4

Christmas. And before we dive into that, send in on social media about Christmas.

0:38.6

And before we dive into that, I want to remind you about our podcast sponsor, the Kings Ridge

0:42.9

elderberries. I just gulped down some elderberry syrup from them right before I got on this podcast

0:48.7

because my throat was feeling a little tickle and I have absolutely zero desire to be sick

0:53.3

during Christmas. And I've been giving it to my

0:55.8

kids, which is easy because it tastes so yummy that they happily take it. They also have

1:00.9

hand-picked raw, fresh frozen berries and cold press juice. And they sent me some of their

jam or jelly, whichever the right term for that is, and it is delicious. So any of your

1:12.4

elderberry needs can come from the Kingsbridge Elderberries, which is a family-owned farm in

1:16.4

Indiana. You can use the code Mama 10 for 10% off any of their products at TKRFarm.com. Taste the

1:23.2

difference. Help push back the curse. At tkrfarm.com you won't find taste of your elderberry serve anywhere.

1:30.4

Also, I want to remind you about the jingle jam challenge through Vogueberg Music Academy.

1:34.5

Remember that Vogueberg Music Academy is a unique way of learning music online together with

1:40.8

siblings that you could share lessons with and the cost for the lessons for as little as

1:44.5

$30 a month with my code. Emma's for Mama 20 for 20% off each month that you're enrolled.

1:49.6

Their jingle jam challenge is an opportunity for you to join with all of the other VMA families

1:54.0

and show off your carol playing abilities. The VMA method makes your kids want to practice and
