We're coming to from the Clark Ford Studios.

josh welcome into the show how are you doing well um all right i'll start with this i want to start with

we sometimes i feel like we're really negative i hear on the show i feel like sometimes we're

just very bleak.

And so with the theme of things this week, I want to start with joy because I was thinking about joy the other day.

It's a joyful campaign, joyful time.

And it made me think, you know, what makes me joyful?

And one of the first thoughts that came to my mom was Christmas.

I really love Christmas.

It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's starting to get cool outside. The soccer season, the high school soccer season is underway as insane as it is to play it in December and January. But regardless, that's when it is and it's fun.

And, you know, everything's decorated in town.

And my wife, Laura, does a wonderful job decorating the house.

She really takes a lot of pride and a lot of enjoyment and Christmas decorating.

And, you know, she's a great cook and she likes to cook.

And the house will have some holiday smell to it.

And it's joyful.

And kids come home you know all that
