Doing Christmas Right

Wednesday, December 23 – Friday, December 25

It is safe to say that nobody does Christmas quite like WCLV 104.9. On December 23 at 8pm, tune in for a presentation of A Soulful Christmas, which celebrates non-idiomatic Black classical music and choral traditions. Also, look for other holiday specials including Handel’s Messiah and performances by The Cleveland Orchestra. Finally, beginning at noon on Christmas Eve and running through Christmas Day, WCLV 104.9 will present its annual Christmas Festival of Music.

DECEMBERFEATURESBIG PICTURE SCIENCE: HANDLING THE HOLIDAYS


The stress of the holidays can make peoplewant to hide under the covers with a warm cup of cocoa. From gift buying to family gatherings, the holidays can feel like being inside a pressure cooker. Do not despair! Science can help make the holidays a little brighter, from some gift-giving tips to embracing pessimism before a challenging social event to stopping that annoying merry melody on repeat. Enjoy!

THE MOTH: HOLIDAY SPECIAL


This special December holiday hour, released in in 2017, features stories about celebration, differing traditions and family. Stories include a mother and son doing their best to keep the gifting spirit alive, and a daughter trying to fulfill her mother’s wish for a Trinidadian feast. Also, a man waits and waits for the perfect moment to kiss a date. Hosted by The Moth’s Producing Director Sarah Austin Jenness.

We ask our children questions all the time. Children are used to answering these types of questions and can answer them easily. However, there are some questions that require more thinking-power than others. We call them engaging questions and they help get your children talking about their ideas.

Asking engaging questions has a few purposes. First, when we ask our children these questions, we learn about what they are figuring out and what they understand. The second purpose of asking questions is that our children learn from being

questioned. When children hear a question, they have to think about how to answer. Then, they take that new understanding to their next experience.

“WCLV 104.9 has kept me company since 1967 – day and night – through my (late) husband’s business trips and more. Now, more than ever, I find the station to be a solace, a friend and a provider of great beauty in my life.” – Mary Ann Griebling

“Since 1997, I have been grateful to WCLV 104.9 for its forward-thinking role as the only radio station in the country to offer a weekly program dedicated to the wealth of music created by local classical composers, including my close family members and friends.” – Margi Griebling-Haigh
