Christmas is one of my favorite times of the year. People try to be on their best behavior, children are full with excitement, and the hearts of mankind are full with giving and sharing good wishes to others. Most important, as Christians, it is a holiday to celebrate the ultimate gift given to us, The Christ Child.

One this month’s show, I am thrilled to present “A Southern Family Christmas” that includes rare facts about the holiday and how the traditions we observe were first conceived, a look into the Christmas celebrations of the early Southern colonies and our Southern Heritage.
