Episode 5 – Addendum

Hey, this is Chooch and I wanted to post a quick little addendum to our request from the last episode. In reviewing the episode I realized that I had asked for people to send in their “Christmas” traditions. Well, I truly meant to say “Holiday” traditions – since clearly there is a lot more than Christmas going on this time of year.

We haven’t discussed Religion on the show yet, but I’m sure it will happen sooner or later. The concept of blending families could clearly refer to bringing children from previous marriages together (which is our case) or bringing diverse religions, races, ethnicities and cultures together. All of which is appropriate to the show, and are all certainly welcome.

So – with that in mind – please call with ANY of your traditions, be it holiday specific or not. I am fascinated by all of the above, and I’m sure your fellow listeners are as well.

The number to call is: 413-669-4720
Or, you can send an e-mail to intotheblender -at- gmail.com
Or – leave a comment here on the site – whichever is most comfortable for you, we’d love to hear from you!
