It is Christmas time on The Balancing Act with Team Brooks. In this episode of our podcast Chris and Ashanti discuss several aspects about Christmas, beginning with the most important, Christ, all the way through Christmas movies, and everything in between.

Christmas means Christ’s Mass (Crīstesmæsse) or a celebration of the Messiah. During this time, it is easy for people to become caught up in the commercialism of Christmas and forget this most important fact, but it is even easier for people of faith to become so bothered by the commercialism of Christmas that they spend the season “tilting at windmills” and simply forget to CELEBRATE! Join Chris and Ashanti as they take time to reflect on the meaning of Christmas, remembering to celebrate Christ by letting Him show us how to walk LIKE HIM and Love people to Him during this season!

In this episode of our podcast Chris and Ashanti continue to look back at the holiday traditions they had growing up as well as new traditions and wild times they have had in recent years during the holidays.

Family holidays are always memorable. From the wise and loving grandmother in whose eyes “grandbabies” can do no wrong, to that “unique” uncle whom no one is quite sure from what part of the family tree they fell. Holidays with family can be quite interesting. Join Chris and Ashanti as they stroll through memories of holidays past and anticipate the wonderful memories, they hope to create in holidays to come.

In this episode of our podcast Chris and Ashanti look back at the holiday traditions they had growing up as well as traditions they have now.

The holidays are a time to slow down, reflect, and give thanks for all the blessings we have in our life, most importantly the blessing of Christ and our family.  During these times we often create traditions that help us to remember and honor these many blessings that we have been so richly given. Join Chris and Ashanti as they reflect on their traditions and hopefully create a spark of nostalgia in you as your remember your own.
