Guest: Scott Simms

This is the Shop's first Christmas episode.  I wanted share Christmas memories, from our "Newfoundland Christmas" that was annually hosted in Scarborough.  From those Christmas days, there were so many story ideas that I could share.  I could tell a story about how back in that apartment, we sure didn't have alot in those days, but at Christmas, we felt like we had the world.  I Could speak about how my parents would always put an apple, a tangerine and some grapes in our stockings because when they were kids, that really was a treat in treat in their stocking.  And I even thought about telling the story about the year that my sister got a turn table for Christmas and she looked the happiest I'd ever seen her - almost as happy as Mom and Dad looked giving it to her.  But instead I decided to tell a story I call "Spot at the table".  It's about how my parents would always find room for one more person at our table, regardless the holiday, regardless the reason they were alone.  

Without a doubt, cooking a meal for 14 people is complicated, but feeding just one or two more was never that big of a deal.  In fact, it seemed quite simple actually.    

In this episode, I did a story exchange with an old friend, Scott Simms.  Scott was the MP for my home town of Fogo Island for 17 years.  He just moved back to Newfoundland and is for the first time in 17 years, not returning after the holiday for Parliament.  Between the stories, I get a chance to ask how Scott is doing, what his plans look like, what's next?

I also take this opportunity to look back over the last year, and Thank a few friends who made this podcast possible, and people who have been instrumental for me on this Storytelling journey that I'm on. 

I also give mention to Monique Doolittle Romas and her crew at The Good Companions Seniors' Centre.  There, I help out with Santa-4-Seniors fund raiser.  

It's been a great year.  The number of listeners have increased with every episode.  Let's keep it going in 2022!
