Day 2: Unique Christmas Traditions From Around The World

21m · Published 14 Dec 22:58

We have a lot of Christmas traditions, in the United States such as: Tree decorating, baking holiday cookies, and opening Christmas presents both on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day; just to name a few. Oh, and let’s not forget watching Hallmark Christmas movies during the month of December. Let’s look at the way other Countries celebrate Christmas:

Sweden: The Yule Goat has been a Swedish Christmas symbol dating back to ancient pagan festivals.

Philippines: Every year, the city of San Fernando holds what’s known as the Giant Lantern Festival, which features beautiful lanterns that symbolize the Star of Bethlehem.

Japan: Christmas isn't a national holiday in Japan. Rather than gathering around the table for a turkey dinner, families head out to their local Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Iceland: Iceland celebrates what they call 13 days of Christmas.

Finland: On Christmas morning, Finish families traditionally eat a porridge made of rice, milk, cinnamon, and/or butter.

New Zealand: Because summer falls during Christmas, a lot of their traditions are centered around a barbeque grill, where families and friends get together and have a casual cookout.

Denmark: Today, people decorate their homes with superstitious characters called nisser, who are believed to provide protection.

Martinique: Families visit their neighbors during Advent and on New Year's Day, they have holiday food like yams, boudin créole, pâtés salés, and pork stew.

Norway: In Norway, the Christmas season, called julebord, begins Dec. 3rd, filling up local bars and restaurants throughout the month.

Ireland: The Irish leave a tall red candle in a front window overnight, a welcoming symbol of warmth and shelter for the holiday season. Traditional Christmas fare in Ireland often includes homemade roast goose, vegetables, cranberries, and potatoes.

Barbados: A Christmas table in Barbados isn't complete without a baked ham decorated with pineapple and sorrel glazes, a rum cake, and Jug Jug, a dish inspired by the Scottish influence on the island combining pigeon peas, guinea corn flour, herbs, and salt meat.

Poland: On Christmas Eve in Poland, many families share oplatek (an unleavened religious wafer), each person breaking off a piece as they wish each other Merry Christmas.

The Netherlands: Sinterklaas is the Dutch name for Saint Nicholas, the man recognized by children by his long white beard, red cape, and red miter. Kids put a shoe by the chimney or back door and wake up on Christmas morning to find treats like gingerbread men, marzipan, and chocolate letters inside.

Portugal and Brazil: Brazilian and Portuguese families come together on Christmas Eve to eat dinner as late as 10 p.m. Then, at exactly midnight, they exchange gifts, toast, and wish each other a Merry Christmas.

Austria: Alpine countries like Austria have a legend that a devil-like creature called Krampus joins their St. Nicholas festivities on December 6th.

South Africa: While the traditions around South Africa vary by region and culture, most families come together for a cookout, called braaing on the holiday. Marinated steaks and boerewors sausages serve as the main course, followed by a customary dessert of malva pudding served with a custard.

Ukraine: Orthodox Christians make up nearly 49% of Ukraine's population; they observe Christmas Day on January 7th by dressing in traditional garments and walking through town singing carols.

Mexico: All across Mexico members of the Church put on Shepherd's Plays, to retell the Christmas story. w

Switzerland: Families make their own advent calendars, which are either given to children as a surprise or made together as a fun activity.

El Salvador: Central American countries like El Salvador toast Christmas with fireworks display on December 24th and 25th. Children celebrate with small firecrackers called volcancitos, while those who are a little older tend to prefer the larger varieties and Roman candles.

Enjoy and come back tomorrow for Day 3!

Day 1: How To Create A Holiday Budget (12 Days Of Christmas 2023)

41m · Published 14 Dec 03:18
Creating a holiday budget really means creating a regular life budget with a category for holiday saving or spending. As you begin to think about your holiday budget, it helps to know what budgeting method works best for you. The zero-based budget. This is where you have a plan for every dollar you bring in. First, calculate your monthly income, including any side hustles. Then list out your monthly spending for all your expenses and any savings goals you already have in place. If you have money left over here, or if you have room to cut from any miscellaneous spending categories or savings goals, throw that money into a holiday spending category. It may help to keep this amount in your savings, knowing how much is going in there each month to keep track of what you can take out at holiday season. The 50/30/20 budget method. The 50/30/20 budget is a budgeting strategy that splits your after-tax income into three categories: 50% for needs, 30% for wants, and 20% for savings and debt reduction. This method was made popular by Elizabeth Warren and her daughter in their book All Your Worth: The Ultimate Lifetime Money Plan. It’s a simple guideline (not a hard-and-fast rule) to help you align your spending with your savings goals and financial health. Keep in mind the following: Needs are things you can’t live without. Wants are things you don't need but make life nicer, such as entertainment and fun. Savings and debt reduction are your financial goals, such as paying off loans, building an emergency fund, or investing for retirement. Now that you have a basic budgeting plan, here are some more specific tips for how to create a holiday budget. 1). Start planning your holiday budget early. 2). Review last year's holiday spending. 3). List your holiday expenses in categories. 4). Figure out your spending limits for each category. 5). Save throughout the year in a high-yield savings account. 6). Keep track of your holiday spending. 7). Understand the pros and cons of buy now, pay later plans. 8). Use a cash rewards credit card to earn rewards on your holiday spending. 9). Look for ways to free up money for your holiday budget. 10). Avoid Financial Scams During the Holiday Season. • Avoid holiday shopping on public Wi-Fi. If you're booking flights or shopping online for gifts, make those transactions at home on your own password-protected Wi-Fi. Inputting credit card details through public Wi-Fi puts you at risk of a hacker getting your information and having their own holiday spree. • Beware of email or text scams. A legitimate business or organization will never ask for your personal information; like your Social Security Number, credit or debit card numbers, or passwords over email or text messaging. • Be wise with retail credit cards. If you are considering applying for a retail store's credit card, be wary of how they take your information. For example, paper applications can be lost or stolen, and often contain sensitive information like Social Security Number, address, and driver's license number. If you're unsure whether your paper application will be handled with care, err on the side of caution, and skip it. • Monitor your account activity. Check your account activity, to make sure you don't see any unusual activity. It's just one more layer of protection to ensure that your money stays right where it belongs. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michelle4466/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michelle4466/support

How To Keep Going Even When You Want To Give Up

10m · Published 05 Nov 20:10
We are born to look for instant gratification because in the ancient times, getting immediate benefits was essential for survival. We are very much present-oriented, and so when we’re not getting what we want immediately, we get anxious and want to give up. Yes, so once in a while, wanting to give up is normal. But giving up is not okay. For example, Walt Disney had been fired by a newspaper editor before because he “lacked imagination and had no good ideas.” If he gave up imagining and dreaming about big ideas, he wouldn’t have found the successful Disney business. If you give up now, you’re giving up the very bright future and great results you will get. The Consequence of Giving Up Too Early: 1). Remember Why You Started and How Much You Really Want It. Think back to the moment your idea was conceived. Going back to the beginning brings into focus the purpose of your endeavor. 2). Look Into the Reason Why You Want to Give Up. There are many reasons why you may want to quit. Be diligent in figuring out what the real issues are and tackle them specifically. Once you see what is causing the feeling, you can address it. 3). Picture In Your Mind The End Result. Keep in your mind the picture of the end result. A visualization of what you want to accomplish will keep you moving forward. The feeling of being a quitter isn’t pleasant. You are a winner! Remember the slogan: The thrill of victory or the agony of defeat! Whenever you want to quit, ask yourself, do you want the thrill of victory? Or would you rather the agony of defeat? Press on; you can do this. This is how you can stay motivated and persevere even during the difficult times. 4). Make A Plan And Have A Backup. Before you undertake anything, always have a plan of action. There are various ways this can be done. You can write a list, make a breakout chart, or form a checklist for tasks completed along the way. By having a plan in place, when you feel like giving up you can look at the plan and refocus on the steps needed to reach the goal. Also, have a backup plan in mind before beginning; this way when you are frustrated and want to give up, you will have an alternative plan to put in action. Life will knock you down, but don’t give up! 5). Find Support From Other People. Don’t isolate yourself or hide your feelings of frustration, and don’t be afraid to seek support from others. Reach out to family, friends, co-workers, online forums, church members, members of your Ministry(s) to find someone that you can talk to. 6). Be Grateful For The Good Things While You Struggle. Regardless of where you are in your process, it is important that you are always grateful, for what you already have. Whenever you feel like giving up, stop and make a list of the things you are grateful for in your life. You have so much positivity in your life to be thankful for. The way you look at the situations around you depends on the attitude with which you view them. Take on an attitude of gratitude and you will be amazed at the difference it makes. 7). Celebrate Your Victories, No Matter How Small They Are. You should acknowledge all the victories that you have made along the way. Instead of feeling overwhelmed at all that you have left to do, write out a list of the accomplishments you have completed, no matter how small they may seem. By celebrating your progress, you will renew your energy to complete what you are doing. When you see all that, you have done, it will excite you to take further action until the finish line. Don’t give up! 8). Have Motivational Reminders Everywhere. Keep your favorite motivational quotes, around you and look at them every day. Keep them where you can always see them and recite them as often as you need to. Your takeaway today, is to never give up: No matter what! Closing: Please be sure to subscribe to my Podcast, if you haven’t already done so. Go out there and be great, because great is calling you and great is calling me. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michelle4466/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michelle4466/support

How To Recover What You Lost

26m · Published 17 Oct 00:03
Faith is the decision to love, no matter the circumstances and the more you choose to love, the greater your faith will grow. Here are some ways you can keep the faith when it seems impossible: 1). Pray. Prayer really works and all you have to do is ask God for the strength you need during your difficult times. Ask God to guide you and keep you. 2. Find Inspiration. Let inspiration help you stay connected through faith. When life happens, instead of yelling, cussing, and fighting, you may want to look for the good in your mess. There is always some good that can come out of a bad situation. 3). Surround yourself with faithful people. We are who we spend our time with the most. So, if you want to walk the path of faith, you must surround yourself with as many people of faith as you possibly can. I love it when Helen Baylor tells her story, and she says she had a praying Grandmother, and she knew enough to call on the name of Jesus. Her Grandmother was the faith she needed to decide to get her life together. 4). Talk to God first thing in the morning. When you wake up, before your feet hit the floor you should spend a few minutes meditating and asking God to give you faith to make it through the day, to make it through their situation. This will get your day started and you will thank yourself for it. 5). Faith is the decision to love the unlovable and to love when everything seems impossible. Faith says that when you feel like giving up or giving in, you keep going because you know that best is yet to come. Go out there and be great, because great is calling you and great is calling me. Be blessed and have an amazing day on purpose.

How To Believe In Yourself Again

19m · Published 10 Oct 23:08
It’s a well-known fact that if you want to succeed in life, you have to believe in yourself. If you don’t believe in you, why should anybody else believe in you? “Believe in yourself, and the rest will fall into place. Have faith in your own abilities, work hard and there is nothing you cannot accomplish.” – Brad Henry Here Are Some Ways You Can Start To Believe In Yourself Again: 1). Accept That Where You Are Is Not Where You Will Always Be. You have to accept that your current situation is not your final destination. Use where you are as a steppingstone to your next level. Use where you are as part of your success story; we all have a story to tell. “First, accept sadness. Realize that without losing, winning isn’t so great.” – Alyssa Milano. 2). Think About Your Past Success. You’ve done it before, and you will do it again. Look at how far you’ve come and know it’s not over until God says it’s over. Your past should always motivate you. “Every day is a new opportunity. You can build on yesterday’s success or put it’s failure behind and start over again. That’s the way life is, with a new game every day.”– Bob Feller 3). Trust And Believe In Yourself. This is one of the most important things that you must remember. You have everything you need inside of you; you just have to believe it. “Everything in the universe is within you. Ask it all from yourself.” – Rumi 4). Don’t Let Fear Stop You. Fear stands for False Evidence that Appears Real. It is the main thing that holds you back from believing in yourself again, more than anything else. Face your fears and don’t let them stop you from achieving your goals: “Always do what you are afraid to do.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson 5). Give Yourself A Break Every Now And Then. You have to forgive yourself for any failures or mistakes that you have committed in the past and move on. You have to look at the future and stop living in the past. Be compassionate towards yourself. 6). Keep Moving Forward And Never Look Back. “If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward.” – Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Closing: Go out there and be great, because great is calling you and great is calling me. Be blessed and have an amazing day on purpose.

What Do You Want In Life?

30m · Published 01 Oct 22:44
Did you know the average person makes 35,000 decisions per day? Every decision demands a fraction of your mental energy. It’s no wonder why life’s biggest decisions feel so exhausting. Figuring out what you want in life is important because it gives you purpose, can influence your career path, and makes life worth living. Here are some questions to ask yourself, to help you figure out what you want in life: 1). What makes you happy? Everyone wants to be happy, but happiness isn’t just feeling joyful. It’s also feeling needed, having a purpose, and maintaining that happiness amid uncertainty. Make a list of everything that makes you happy is a good place to start. 2). What are your needs? Sometimes, our wants and needs go hand in hand. Other times, what we need isn’t what we want. 3). What are your personal values? Your core values are principles that guide you through life. 4). What gives you purpose? When we do what fulfills us, that energy positively impacts others as well. 5). What activities put you in a flow state? In this case, “flow” refers to the joy we feel when we’re right where we're meant to be. 6). What would you do if there were no limits? As you think about that, here are some other questions to ask yourself: •What would you rather be doing? •Who do you want to spend your time with? •Who do you want to help? •Are you in the right location to do what you want to do? •What are you willing to sacrifice to achieve your goal(s)? •How do you define a “good life?” 7). Who do you admire? Do you look up to someone? Think about whether you want to be like this person. 8). How do you envision the patterns of your life? A holistic approach to a subject means looking not only at problem areas but also at the environment problems exist in. 9). What don’t you want? Knowing what to avoid can empower you to make better decisions. 10). What are your greatest accomplishments in life? Did you feel pride in your abilities after this happened? Is there a way for you to live a life that repeats those feelings? 11). Are you willing to work hard? It won’t be easy, but it will be worth it. Focus on moving toward your goals, regardless of any setbacks that may come your way. Go out there and be great, because great is calling you and great is calling me. Be blessed and have an amazing day on purpose! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michelle4466/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michelle4466/support

How To Turn Your Passion Into Profit

28m · Published 18 Sep 01:44
Chasing passions and following dreams is becoming the norm as people begin to move away from the traditional nine to five, towards the goal of doing what they love. You can do this by: 1). Write about your interests. One of the simplest ways to go from doing something you love to profiting from it, is to write about it. Here are a few different ways to write about your interests, and make money: * Start a blog. Start a blog around the topic(s) you are knowledgeable and excited about. Just know that making a profit is usually something that beginning bloggers must wait for, until they get their website traffic numbers up. * Write a book. Think about creating an eBook or a physical book. You can self-publish and sell it through your website, social media, and Amazon. For professional looking covers, you can use Upwork to easily hire someone do it for you; or you can do it yourself, by using Canva. * Do freelance writing. If you aren’t interested in starting your own website or writing a book, you can always write for other people. Pitch newspapers, magazines, or other blogs on the topic(s) you’re an expert in. When you write stories or informative pieces on a topic you’re interested in, it won’t feel like work at all. It’s easier than you think to find online writing jobs and beginner freelance writing work, and the pay can be quite good depending on the publisher. 2. Become a speaker. There are tons of different events that happen every year around the world, on a wide variety of topics. Many of these events are looking for either established speakers in the industry, or people who are incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about their topic but haven’t got their foot in the door just yet. Keep in mind, some of your initial speaking events might be unpaid or at a lower rate because of your lack of experience. The more you go to these events, the more recognized and accomplished you’ll become, which in turn leads to you being able to make more money. Over time, you may start to get invited to more significant events, which will not only pay more, but help grow your audience and brand your presence. 3. Create a product. The good thing about it is, you can create both a physical product and an online product as well. * Digital Products. This is perfect, since so much of the world is online anyway. You can create PDFs, booklets, printables, video tutorials, cheat sheets, audio files, etc. * Physical Products. This could be done with drop shipping if you want to make items like t-shirts, sweatshirts, bags, cups, or framed art. * Creating Tech Products. You could create an app, plug-in, video game, or some other sort of downloadable product that you can sell. Anything that fills a gap in the market and could help other people in the industry. 4. Create a community. Community building is another excellent way to profit from your passion, no matter what your interest is. 5. Become a coach or consultant. If you’re wondering how to monetize your passion and love being a leader and helping others, consider becoming a coach or consultant on the subject you love. 6. Start making YouTube videos. On YouTube, any hobby and interest can be turned into profit, with income earned through ads and sponsors. Travel fanatics can make travel vlogs. Chefs can start a cooking show. Those who love the great outdoors can create vlogs dealing with survival, fishing, camping, and more. Your personality and enthusiasm shining through the video will make people subscribe! 7. Create a course. Courses today can be either online or in-person. 8. Network. Networking can be a great way to profit from your interests. This is even more true if you aren’t necessarily sure just how you will make money from your passions yet. 9. Host an event. Events can be a great way to make money and raise awareness for your passion or business. It can also be a perfect way to connect with other people with similar interests. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michelle4466/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michelle4466/support

Keys To Unlocking The Power Of Your Vision

19m · Published 10 Sep 02:47
For the time that is ours to share, I want to talk about: The Keys To Unlocking The Power of Your Vision. “And the Lord answered me and said write the vision and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that reads it.” Habakkuk 2:2 Habakkuk 2:2 is a major verse in the Bible, when it comes to writing your vision. It’s sad to know that many people know this scripture by heart and still they haven’t taken the time to write out their vision and begin to implement what they write down. As you take time to read and study Habakkuk 2:1-4, here are some keys that will help you unlock the power of God’s vision for your life. 1). Vision is revealed to you, by listening. To unlock the power of your vision, you must get alone with God to listen for His directions. Your time alone with Him must be uninterrupted. So, make sure you put away your mobile devices, turn off the TV, get off social media, and tell everyone you know what you are doing, so they won’t interrupt you. 2). Your vision must be written down. After you have spent time seeking God, write down (in explicit details) what He’s telling you. Write it in the present tense, as though it has already happened. Writing your vision down, allows you to know the direct path you need to take to get to your desired destination. It also gives you the inspiration and motivation you need to get through life’s toughest challenges. 3). Your vision must be made as plain as possible. You need to write your vision in plain, simple to understand language. Creating a vision that is clear and simple to understand, means you won’t have to deal with any confusion, which can and will get in the way of your progress. Also know this, when your vision is plain, it will keep you energized and create excitement not only in you but also everyone that is connected to you. They will want to eagerly start writing down and implementing their goals as well. 4). Your vision should be posted where you can see it daily. Your posted vision statement is your constant reminder of what is possible in your life, if you follow the directions, you wrote down. 5). Your vision helps you overcome the obstacles, that will come your way. Your vision from God doesn’t mean you won’t have some tough times. It will, however, give you the strength and courage to keep pushing forward and never give up. 6). Your vision will manifest itself in God’s time. When it comes to your vision, you must have patience; you can’t rush the progress you are looking for. Please do not rush your vision. Always remember your visions will manifest when God determines the time is right. 7). Your vision must be lived by faith. The more you focus your attention on your vision, the more your faith will grow. Taking slow and steady steps, as you go along on your vision journey will open doors for many opportunities to happen. Take Away: If you implement these seven keys, your vision will powerfully impact in your life, your family, and everyone who is connected to you. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michelle4466/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michelle4466/support
