The show begins with Amy’s story “Home for the Holidays,” about the importance of home. The story is accompanied by “Angels from the Realms of Glory” and followed by “Christmas Lullaby” by the Cockman Family. On Creative Corner, Doreyl continues her talk with T.J. Holland, who shares stories of Cherokee history and talks about some of the Cherokee towns in western North Carolina. “Guide Me, Jehovah” by Walker Calhoun follows the interview. On Stories of Mountain Folk, Amy talks again with Dorris & Sam Beck of Sylva. Sam shares some humorous stories from his youth, and he and Dorris also talk briefly about First Baptist Church of Sylva. “Go Jordan” by Andrews & Lawrence follows the interview. Next is a reprisal of an interview that Sean Botzenhart did with Victoria A. Casey McDonald. It was originally broadcast on December 21, 2013, and in it Victoria talks about her family’s Christmas celebrations. The interview is followed by Victoria singing “Sweet Little Jesus Boy.” On Down Another Road, Judy talks again with Frank Rodgers of Robbinsville, who talks very briefly about his great-grandfather, a Confederate soldier in the Civil War, and then discusses life in Robbinsville and the surrounding areas. “I Wonder as I Wander” by Judy Rhodes follows the interview, and the show ends with “Joy to the World” and “We Wish You a Merry Christmas” by the Columbian Handbell Ringers.
