Gary and Caroline Harbin’s plans to celebrate a perfectly normal, perfectly boring Christmas are abruptly and completely destroyed by a phone call… a visit by Gary’s long lost mother Maddie… and her very special friend, Morey!

We hope you enjoy our podcast! And we ask you to please consider supporting Playful World Ministries and help us ensure we can continue to bless future listeners - and thank you! https://actintl.givingfuel.com/brownlee

0:00 – 3:04 Intro: Our hosts, Denny and Sandy Brownlee, struggle with their own attention spans as they invite you into this Christmas tale, originally performed as a radio drama where they had a talented troupe of actors at their disposal (actually, they were at their studio… no one ended up at their disposal…euww.)

3:05 - Denny & Sandy explain the origins of this original radio comedy/drama

5:43 - Part I: For Whom the Phone Rings – and more importantly – from whom it rings!

9:02 – Part II: She'll Be Home For Christmas??? Gary’s long lost mother returns… but she doesn't come home alone!

11:50 – Part III: That's uh Morey... Seems Morey Greene is more than Maddie’s friend; he's too old to be a boyfriend – and too much for Gary!

15:02 - Spit takes all around - and special gifts for everyone!

19:00 – A different meaning to “gift giving.” And an opportunity for you to share your gifts!

Playful World presents Guess Who's Coming for Christmas Podcast

Just for the holidays – from Playful World Ministries! The Story: What begins as a typical, predictable... okay - boring Christmas for Gary and Caroline Harbin is utterly shattered by a surprise visit from Gary's long lost mother, Maddie, who's been AWOL for six years! Needless to say, she's traveling with more than a little baggage! But it gets worse! She's accompanied by her friend Morey Greene - a Las Vegas comedian! But it gets worse! Turns out Morey is much more than a friend! Could it get any worse? Gary wants answers! What's his mother doing - chumming around with a Las Vegas, eh, comedian? And how could Morey actually know more about Christmas than they do? Is this some kind of joke? And why is Gary's mom happier than she's ever been? Plus: We've added some behind the scenes interviews with Sandy Brownlee, writer and creator of this, eh, "unorthodox" Christmas caper! Throw in a little food for thought from the Brownlees - and we pray your holidays will be a bit more meaningful! AND: Find out how you can become part of our Playful World Ministries!
