Daily Santa Podcast - The Family Friendly Countdown to Christmas

DAY FOURTEEN - Be Creative, Meet the Elf DJ, Santa Question and Message, Selfie Loves Elf Tube We share our podcast studio with the morning drive DJ - he drops by during our podcast to see what we are up to! Selfie tries "Elf Tube" - did you know there are tiny elf cats? Apparently there are - we didn't believe it either! We answer more Santa Questions on today's episode We also look at being creative 6 Ways to become more creative Being creative allows us to be more flexible and become better problem solvers. When you can solve problems you are able to help others at the same time! 1. Allow time to dream and wonder One of the main ways to become creative is to wonder. Like why is the sky blue? Why does the ocean water have waves and not the water in lakes or ponds? How does gravity work? And so on. Find the answer to what you are curious about - this is a great way to be a better student - you will learn many things if you never stop wondering! 2. Share what you learn Some kids are awesome at music, some kids are great playing sports, or reading, maybe math is your superpower! Help those around you that might not be great at the piano, or can run as fast as you, help your friend read better, or show your classmate how to understand a math problem. If you learn and do not share, you are not helping others! 3. There is more than one way to Solve Every Problem There are multiple ways to solve a problem and also different perspectives to look at everything. Be open to others, how they do things, how they think - you can learn a lot from others around you 4. Be Curious We are born curious. When you are thirsty you get a drink of water, when you are curious you fill up your knowledge tanks with information that will help you for the rest of your life! 5. Read for fun Limit TV or other screen time of your kids to make room for creative hobbies like reading as it encourages thought activity which in turn promotes creativity. If you can read for fun and not because you have to, you will fall in love with books 6. Try something new Try something new - something that you have never done, you might find that you could unlock a fun new activity, sport or hobby that you would have never known about if you had not tried it for the first time Being creative is very important - it helps us to think big, accept others and their differences and become a better person Be creative today - try something new!

DAY TEN - Be Patient and Wait Your Turn, Santa's Doctor Visits, News and Fun Podcast Suggestions Welcome to Day Ten everyone! We hope this has been elftastic fun for you so far! Candy Cane Cookies have arrived, or have they gone missing? We are going to talk about patience, but you will have to wait for it! Doctor Wait, Santa's family Doctor drops in with some great advice for us at this busy time of the year! Patience is a skill. And like all skills, patience can be learned. Just like learning to walk, ride a bike or playing a piano We can learn patience, and get better at being patient as we work on it The best way to learn patience is to practice patience Patience is not simply the ability to wait. It’s how we behave while we’re waiting. Here are 4 things to consider about patience - talk about these things with your family to see how you can add these to your day ONE - When learning patience, start small just like learning anything, you will not be great at something if you never try little babies are not very patient - when they want something, they want it right now! we have to learn patience - that is a lot of work TWO - We have to learn how to wait for what we want We need to take turns, allow someone to go first, put someone else ahead of us THREE - realize that being patient is hard work We wait for a bus, wait for dinner, wait for our friend to catch up, we do a lot of waiting FOUR - learning patience is not just for adults when we start learning and practicing patience as a child, we will use what we learn as an adult it is no fun to be asked to wait for our turn, but if we can learn how to wait, we will see it pay off in the future So I told you to wait to find out what patience was, didn't I... do you know, that waiting to hear what patience is, that waiting to the end to find out what it is was actually being patient? Patience is simply being calm, realizing that there are other people involved and allowing others time and space at this busy time of year there is very little patience, honking car horns, pushing and shoving, angry responses to people in our way, or doing things that make our day worse - those are the people that need patience Remember you have to learn it patience is not free! See you tomorrow!

DAY TWO - Let's Be Honest, First Listener Voice Mail, A Santa Joke and Santa is Hiding Welcome to Day two! We are counting down to Christmas with Santa and his friends! Thanks for joining us! Our big topic for today is about honesty! Let's be honest, we need to be kind and not lie to adults and to our friends or family - when we are not honest we hurt people around us Let's Be Honest Imagine that you broke your mom's favorite item because you were playing soccer in the house. When she comes home, she asks for an explanation. What are your choices in this situation? You could tell her that you have no idea how it happened, or you could be honest and tell her exactly how the item was broken. Honesty is telling the truth even when it may be tempting to tell a lie. Many times in life, you may be faced with the choice of telling the truth or telling a lie. Sometimes those lies might be extremely tempting! You might want to lie so you won't get in trouble, or in some cases, to avoid hurting other people's feelings. No matter what the situation, being honest and telling the truth is typically the best choice. A person who is trustworthy can be counted on to tell the truth. If you look at the two words that make up the compound word of ''trustworthy,'' it makes sense: Telling the truth makes you worthy of someone's trust. You want your friends and family to be able to count on you at all times. If you lie often, people will begin to question the things you say and may not believe you. In fact, they may think you're lying all the time, even when you're actually telling the truth. We have our first listener call in, a joke submitted by a listener, news updates and yes, even a few bloopers! Hope you enjoy the fun!
