I'm your host, Nicole Bigley, and you are listening of a psychic story, welcome. If you've been here before, welcome back. This is the 24th listener episode of the podcast where we share the stories you submitted. And thank you so much because we are going to focus on the holidays for this one. But first, Scott, how are you doing? Are you ready for the holiday season?

I am. For some reason this year, usually I'm not,

but this year I'm kind of ready. It'd be nice to have one snowstorm between now and Christmas

about a foot. And then that's it. You know, that's all I order is like one snowstorm season.

But it's just a good time of year. You know, before all the holiday ads get

burned into my head, it's just a nice time of year. The most wonderful time of the year.

It is. Now, what do you guys celebrate? Yeah, Christmas. We try to do some vegetarian vegan events

kind of celebrating, you know, that end of it.

But otherwise, yeah, Christmas and New Year's Eve is what we usually do.

How about you?

Yeah, so my favorite holiday, not the reason for the holiday, but my favorite holiday is Thanksgiving, which by the time this airs will have been

past us. But what I love about that holiday is the food and I just love to cook and being in

the kitchen with my mom and my family, I feel like it's just such a fun thing. And then there's

the anticipation of what's happening, you know, the end of the year, which is Christmas. So we've

always celebrated Christmas. But my mom being Italian, you know, the end of the year, which is Christmas. So we've always celebrated Christmas.

But my mom being Italian, we also, before that, celebrate St. Nick where we put the shoes outside.

And St. Nick comes and leaves little presents in the children's shoes.

And so I used to, even as an adult, put a shoe out and I would get a gift.

But now that doesn't happen.

We do it for my nephews.

So that's always fun.

And yeah, so that's what we celebrate.
