0:03 Caloroga Shark Media. I'm back. Hi. I'm Johnny Mack with five more good news Christmas stories. Check your calendar, it's getting close. It's that time of year and I'm seeing more and more Christmas stories. So i figured let me jump with the studio and I'll share them with you. The National Toy Hall of Fame in Rochester announced this year's inductees. Congratulations to My Little Pony, Transformers and Phase ten. The finalists include Apples to Apples. We've got one of those sitting under the table. The dog gets in there all the time and rips up the cards. They choose your own adventure books. Remember those Hess Toy trucks. Those are not in the Hall of Fame. Those gotta be.
0:46 I had so many of those growing up. If you're of a certain age, the Hess Toy truck was just amazing. Pokemon remote Controlled Vehicles sequence I don't know what that is, the stick horse and the trampoline, but a combination of player's choice ballots and the National Selection Advisory Committee have picked these three very deserving toys that showcase the wide range of how people play. But from My Little Pony in particular this year is extravalidating The beloved toy was a finalist seven times before finally crossing the finish line. My bad that I don't know what Phase ten is. Let's say Phase ten is a casual card game brought to you from the creators of Uno, created in nineteen eighty two. Phase ten is based on a variant of Rummy known as Contract Rummy. I don't know that one, but congratulations. We got to work on this together and get the Hes Toy Trucks Hall of Fame in there next year. Nice job by one hundred and fifty c SX employees in Jacksonville. They wrapped in packs thousands of toys, winter accessories, and other gifts. Those gifts will be delivered today on the company's eighty second annual Santa Train. The train will deliver about fifteen tons of free gifts on a thirteen stop, one hundred and ten mile journey through Kentucky, Virginia, and Tennessee. The CSX president says the Santa Train is a cherished and long standing tradition and a significant part of CSX history. The company's twentieth heritage locomotive, Clinchfield number in nineteen oh two, will lead the train. Clinchfield Railroad originally was charted to serve coal mining communities across eastern Kentucky, southwestern Virginia, and eastern Tennessee, and was the original home
2:18 of the Santa Claus special in nineteen forty three. Chick fil A has people buzzing with their new Christmas tree ornament. The ornament is shaped like a Chick fil A bag stuffed with a takeout order, complete with the red and white Chick fil A logo on one side and a smaller version of logo on the back. Not everyone loves it, because you know you can't make everyone happy. One person on Instagram said smaller would be better, and another just describe the ornament as idiotic. Have some fun, dude. A father of five was given a five dollars cheesemaking kid as a Christmas present way back when. While he has turned that into a business, he's running it out of his garage and winning multiple awards. Matt got interested in cheddars five christmases ago when his sister in law gave him the novelty set that included a cloth, a thermometer, a dizablet containing milk curdling enzymes, and that was all enough for one batch of cheese. Matt made the cheese and he enjoyed it, so he started experimenting. Now he sells cheese from his backyard creamery and might turn it into a full time career. He's fifty years old and said, I absolutely loved the science of turning milk into cheese products.
3:21 Some people at middle aged by golf clubs. I bought massive pots in a microlab. So what did he do? He entered the twenty twenty three Cheese and Dairy Awards. There over five thousand cheeses entered and guess who won. You know how this works, right, Yeah? Matt won Best Soft Cheese with in Great Britain and the Best International Novice Award. He has spent seven months converting his garage into a cheese factory. The cheese factory includes stainless steel workstation, second hand equipment including one hundred quart pots, and a home built cheese press that Matt built himself. Here's a Christmas tradition from Catalonia. It's the kakatillo, which means poolog. Yes, pooh log, Yes you heard ba polog. It's a small wooden log with a smiley face. It wears the traditional red Catalan hat and it's covered with a blanket to keep it warm. Children feed Thegatteo with sweets every night until Christmas Eve. That evening they beat the Kagatio with a stick while they sing. The lyrics, when translated into English, have some language that I don't want to share with you, but basically it's telling the log if you don't perform, we'll hit you with a stick. There's also another pooping character as part of Christmas in Catalonia. This is called the Kaganer, which means the pooping man, and it's a common figurine in nativity scenes in Catalonia. They typically hide the figure somewhere among the traditional characters of the major scene and kids have a fun time trying to find it.
4:51 It is seen as good luck. It's poop represents the fertilization of the lands, providing a good harvest for the year to come. I'm looking at an image of one now. Oh. From the front, it looks like a man with white shirt and blue pants and a red hat, and from the back he's got his pants down. Those are five good news Christmas stories for today Back tomorrow with a normal five good news stories have an awesome Sunday Man.
