and you have to go in search of your creative spark again. Maybe this is catching up with creative

friends, experimenting with a new look or trying out a new recipe.

Welcome to the Commentary Magazine daily podcast. Today is Friday

December 22nd, 2023. I'm John Podhorst, the editor of commentary. I'm aware

that the weekend that is the most important for families and and faith

for for most Americans is upon us and so I ask you humbly within the ambit of my voice before

before the eggnog before the caroling before every cliche that a

non-Christian can come up with about what goes on during the weekend of Christmas was sailing and

Missletoe and Santa writing down the shaver on the Norelco shaver.

I just would like to make my last request this week that you go to commentary.org

slash donate and give generously as part of your end of year charity to

commentary a 501c3 nonprofit fully the equitable donation that will help us continue doing

what we are doing here.

And I wish you every, the most wonderful weekend you can possibly have and you will make my weekend

more wonderful if you exceed to my request here but don't worry about me I'm fine I'll be fine just comfortable out here in the

rain and you you enjoy as I look into your houses wreathed with holly and tinsel and ornaments and everything that I envy you about Christmas everything that I know about Christmas
