<p>Egg nog, ugly sweaters, decorations, jingles, and watching <em>The Grinch</em>—Christmas has a way of slowing the world down and inviting us into something meaningful, whether we consider ourselves religious or not. In this episode, <em>There’s Something About Mary</em>, we step back from the noise and look at the origin of Christmas through the life of a teenage girl named Mary.</p><p>You don’t have to be a Christian to respect what happened two thousand years ago. A single life sparked a movement that shaped history, culture, and the world we live in today. And that life entered the world because Mary said yes. This episode explores the often-missed Jewish context of her story, the courage behind her decision, and why her willingness still matters.</p><p>More than a Christmas story, this is an invitation. If Mary could wake up one ordinary day, be confronted with her destiny, and choose yes—what might be possible if you did the same? A reflective and encouraging episode designed for anyone who wants to understand why Christmas matters and how one brave yes can change everything.</p>
