| Courage Story 1: Santa's List | 11 Dec 2020 | 00:33:03 | |
Note: There is a stretch of music in the beginning of this podcast that seems to go on for a bit.

So just sit tight and the words will start soon. Today Kelly interviews her friend, Santa Cliff, as they discuss the true meaning of the Christmas holiday through Cliff's eyes. Get your tissues out - this one has all the feels. These Courage Stories are special videos posted in addition to the Prides Hollow Story Series. The Prides Hollow series is about the stories of the people in that town. The Courage Stories are about YOU, Kelly's audience. Kelly collects your stories of ordinary people doing brave things. Because courage is contagious. | |||
