Hey, friends. This is Annie F. Downs, our dear friend Matthew invited me to pop over to his podcast today to let you know about something fun that we have going on over on my podcast.

It is the Advent series on that sounds fun podcast. Advent is one of my favorite seasons.

I'm really excited this year to be spending time on the podcast every weekday talking about some of the gifts I think God wants to give us during Advent, the gifts of hope, peace, joy and love and how we can carry them into next year.

So each of these podcasts episodes is, you know, 12 to 15 minutes. It's just a little devotional that you can listen to for free. But if you want to dig a little deeper, we have tons of additional resources available as well.

Things like a downloadable Advent series guidebook that features 28 days of questions and prompts and prayers for weeks of really beautiful video versions of the Advent series podcast episodes, a private Facebook group for more conversation and encouragement and weekly devotionals and coloring sheets for your kids too.

It's not too late to join in simply head to Annie F. Downs.com slash Advent to get signed up today. Again, that's Annie F. Downs.com slash Advent.

What's up, everybody? Welcome to another episode of the Matthew West podcast. I'm your host Matthew West. And as always, I really hope you like it. Thank you for joining me today. Happy post Thanksgiving to you.

The West family had a great Thanksgiving. I hope you did as well. I hope you ate lots of food. I hope you got to see friends and family not taking for granted the chance to be together with people, right?

I love the fact that 2020 keeps getting further and further in our rearview mirror. It was beautiful to be together with friends and family on Thanksgiving.

Having, of course, had some good turkey. I order my turkey every year. Some call me a chicken for ordering my turkey. See what I did there.

But I figure why chance it? Why risk it? Because I might screw up the preparation of the turkey. A Steven Curtis Chapman's tour manager once told me about this place called Greenberg turkeys in Tyler, Texas.

And they will ship you a smoked turkey.

And I never looked back ever since I started ordering. Of course, I'm mentioning Greenberg turkeys in Tyler, Texas in the hopes that they hear that I've endorsed them and that they in turn will endorse me and perhaps send me a free turkey.

Okay, guys, let's do business. Let's talk. Let's partner together. I do have a song called Gobble Gobble. So let's do that. Actually, their website is gobblegobble.com if you want to order turkey.

Matthew West sent you, would you? So turkey was great. I got to say the star of the side dishes, if I had to pick sweet potatoes.

Now, the sweet potatoes that we have, my sister-in-law, I think, made him for the first time for us. And it was the first time that we replaced sweet potatoes that normally have the marshmallows on top.

I do miss that, but we've instead they put this like brown sugar like strudal thing. I think it's, I think this what you would call it over the top. It's crunchy and it's sweet. It's delicious. This is probably my favorite side dish.

Contrary to my song, I did not eat a dozen dinner rolls. I saved my carbs for pecan pie afterwards and pumpkin pie after that.

So now I'm hungry. Just talking about it. Man. Anyways, thanks for letting gobblegobble be part of your holiday season. All of those who are repping your gobblegobble shirts.

Many people sent me their gobblegobble listening on social media. You know, whether it's their kid in the car seat in the back singing every word or this kid.

I think her name was Rebecca. She did a whole choreographed dance to it. It was amazing. Send her a gift in the mail. So really cool stuff.

Now we turn towards Christmas and I'm so excited because just literally a couple days away this weekend, we're kicking off Christmas in Franklin, Tennessee.
