SUMMARY
Merry Christmas listeners!
On this podcast – host Aaron Cronk and guest ACTS Education Program Leader Jay Proffitt join together to take you on Christmas-themed podcast.
First the discussion focuses on some American historical events that happened on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. George Washington leads his forces on a middle of the night dangerous crossing of the ice-filled Delaware River to attack Hessian soldiers in Trenton, N.J. Then we hear about the signing of the Treaty of Ghent which took place on Christmas Eve – ending the War of 1812. Also is a story of a huge fire in Washington, D.C. that destroyed invaluable collections. Finally, we hear about a special reading that took place from a unique place on Christmas Eve in 1968.
Our second segment highlights some Christmas traditions that take place at some places our tour programs visit. Hear about Wreaths Across America at Arlington National Cemetery, the National Christmas Tree at the White House, and more.
Cronk’s Corner will encourage you as Aaron focuses our hearts on the Light of the World. The podcast wraps up with a Call to Action.
Behind the Tour and American Christian Tours is thankful for all the support and encouragement from all our listeners and tour participants. We wish you all a very Merry Christmas as you celebrate the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ.
