Thanks to Alex Fenson, who called in the Hungarian Christmas greeting! He has a show called “The New Forest Podcast.” Check it out here!

As a special bonus, we hear Miss Karmyn Tyler’s special recording of “Silent Night”, which she recorded in 2006 for the first year of the Lifespring Advent Calendar Show.

Be sure to listen to the entire show for a good laugh!
