Merry Christmas from all of us at The American Policy Roundtable and The Public Square®.

On this week's show we are airing one of our favorite Christmas conversations, "The Charlie Brown Christmas." This particular episode of The Public Square® has taken on a new meaning. Starting in 2020, The Charlie Brown Christmas Special was not aired on network television, a tradition that started in 1965. We talk about that update at the end of this program. Please join in this Christmas conversation right here on The Public Square®.

Why Thanksgiving? The Pilgrims began it all in 1621. John Hancock called for such a day in 1783. George Washington called for a national observance in 1789. Following Washington's example, Abraham Lincoln and Congress made it an official holiday in 1863.

But why bother being thankful today? Please tune in for a very different discussion around the holiday table on The Public Square®.

A reality that is attested by the changed lives of billions for over 2,000 years, and one that we celebrate in a special edition of Heaven's Encore -- the Easter Edition.

"Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives. When he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?" It's a Wonderful Life, 1946

George Bailey can teach us all a lot about life. Every year we dedicate the last program of December to think about what Frank Capra and Jimmy Stewart were trying to tell America in the classic film It's a Wonderful Life. So grab your last holiday cup of cheer and join us around the radio this week on The Public Square®.

Do you remember watching the Charlie Brown Christmas special on television when you were a kid? Remember that tiny Christmas tree, the kid with the blanket, everyone's favorite beagle, and the message of hope spoken from a child?

This week on the program, the team uncovers the story of how this Christmas special became a true classic in spite of network media executives who tried to scuttle the project. Thanks for tuning in.

This week we're taking time to talk about some amazing American heroes, our veterans. Although Veteran's Day is behind us, every day is a good day to honor those who have served in this nation's military. Jeff Sanders and Wayne Shepherd had the privilege of interviewing Karl Schmidt, a World War II Veteran, who among many things served as a Marine spy and scout in the campaigns at Guam, Iwo Jima and Guadalcanal, along with receiving three Purple Hearts. Living history on The Public Square® -- please tune in!
