T.H. WELCOME to the most important event of your day – in fact, the game of the week played in the ADVENT HOLIDAY TOURS of most of AMERICAN Football.
I’m your seasoned-face ANNOUNCER T.H. Pickwin along with my colleagues Big-Talk Passer and our close-up interview specialist Blondie Smilestats-Smith.
Big-Talk, if you had been the QB for today’s Christmas Bowl game when you were in college a few years back [all smile, some chuckle] how would you have approached this key match-up?
B.T. That’s a great question, T.H. First of all you may remember that when I came out of college this would have been just a post-semester trip to play football and tourist in a warmer destination, so this expanded playoff game series creates a lot of opportunities for unheard of football players to be seen by a national audience.
BLONDIE S. You’re absolutely on target, B.T. In fact, today’s CHRISTMAS BOWL GAME is one of just thirty-five [35] college bowl games this December which could provide opportunities for thousands of players on seventy [70] teams to have their moment in the sun on the big-screen. [All nod enthusiastically.]
T.H. Wow! And of course this means that these thousands of players will bring more than a million fans to watch these thirty-five [35] bowl games this month, not to mention the more traditional New Year’s bowl games and extended championship games into January.
B.T. And T.H. all this in addition to NFL Pro games on Sundays and several other days in December..
BLONDIE S. .. and let’s not forget that both college and pro basketball are getting into full swing too; which reminds me later I’ll have some inside information from the MLB winter meetings and the latest rumors of where the money-players will be moving next spring.
T.H. Thanks Blondie. We look forward to that in your half-time insider report.
NOW, due to some unexpected help from Mother Nature we will be taking you directly to our Christmas Bowl Kick-off report with B.T.’s keys to the game as soon as we hear from today’s sponsors of the College Football Holiday Bowl series.
LIVE from the Christmas Bowl Kick-off
Christmas Day 2022 of the Common Era
First Half Matchups
WELCOME to today’s unprecedented 2022 Holiday Bowl match-up between the traditional powerhouses of college football Mary Dame University and Southern Moroni of Utah State.
Hardly anyone picked either of these two teams to make it this far in the mythical NCAA-NFL showcase series of college’s highest-paid athletes but today Mary Dame and Southern Moroni have proved that any of these fantasy league big-money picks sometimes miss their bet. Both of these teams were long-shots to make any impact on the big-money Holiday Bowl broadcast market.

Thanks to all of you and our broadcast team for your idolic media mission TO HELP OUR $PONSOR$ WIN your attention.
I’ll be brief. The following is an audio from Truth For Life asking you to consider which part of the audience you are as we all participate in the celebration of Jesus’ birth.
The text of our sermon is from Paul’s letter to the church at Galatia. (You may safely click on any link in this post or on the Truth For Life website also linked at the bottom of this post.)
A Personal INTRO
I would have been here early as a participant, parent, praise band player or orchestra member. The backstage minutes prior to the doors opening for the annual Christmas concert rush toward the time when the audience will be allowed to enter the church for the best seats for the Christmas pageant. Most of the crowd is early for this full-house spectacle.
BUT WHAT IF
Before you enter you had to choose ONE of THREE sections for the Nativity Program based on your faith?
The key question YOU must answer (toward the end of today’s sermon) is this.
WHY DID CHRIST COME?
You cannot understand Christmas without Calvary.
Alistair Begg
SO before you enter the doors of our Christmas Story from the stage of our local church, please choose your preferred seating for the Christmas Story.
Group number one
(We have nearly unlimited seating for you.)
Group number one has never trusted in Christ, and the reason they’ve never trusted in Christ is because they’ve never had the law preached to them.
Group number two
The second group .. is made up of people who have had the law preached to them and need to understand the promise of God.
(We have a smaller section of seats for you too.)
Group number three
Regrettably, we must seat the other two groups first.
BUT LISTEN
Alistair Begg will include this group too near the end of his brief Christmas sermon.
