WEBVTT 00:00:11.030 --> 00:00:13.689 Welcome to Students Incorporated. I'm your host, 00:00:13.710 --> 00:00:16.570 Mr. Jason. Join me weekly as my students and 00:00:16.570 --> 00:00:19.149 I bring you content that's informative, positive, 00:00:19.350 --> 00:00:22.070 fun, and uplifting. This podcast is created and 00:00:22.070 --> 00:00:24.410 produced with the help of students from the International 00:00:24.410 --> 00:00:29.010 Community School of Bangkok. Welcome back to 00:00:29.010 --> 00:00:31.890 this special holiday episode, our last episode 00:00:31.890 --> 00:00:35.670 of 2025. If the audio sounds a little fuller 00:00:35.670 --> 00:00:38.490 today, that's because the studio is packed. We'll 00:00:38.490 --> 00:00:41.189 be having the entire Season 4 team in and out 00:00:41.189 --> 00:00:43.810 of the studio today. Today is our final episode 00:00:43.810 --> 00:00:46.750 of 2025. We are heading into our winter break 00:00:46.750 --> 00:00:49.429 after this, and we won't be back until the end 00:00:49.429 --> 00:00:53.549 of January 2026. But don't worry, we'll be back. 00:00:53.850 --> 00:00:56.229 We just have a long break ahead. We have skipped 00:00:56.229 --> 00:00:58.929 the formal interviews today. Instead, we are 00:00:58.929 --> 00:01:01.469 celebrating with some weird holiday games, a 00:01:01.469 --> 00:01:04.010 little bit of singing, we apologize in advance, 00:01:04.349 --> 00:01:06.969 and the main event, the great secret Santa gift 00:01:06.969 --> 00:01:09.939 exchange. The table in front of us is piled high 00:01:09.939 --> 00:01:12.640 with wrapped boxes and I have no idea what's 00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:15.260 inside them. But before we get started, let's 00:01:15.260 --> 00:01:16.959 hear our quote of the day and get some headline 00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:19.519 news. Our quote of the day comes from author 00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:22.159 Susan Gale, who captures the magic and kindness 00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:24.640 of the season perfectly. She said sometimes the 00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:27.390 smallest gift Given in secret can warm the biggest 00:01:27.390 --> 00:01:29.650 heart. I think that's such a beautiful reminder 00:01:29.650 --> 00:01:32.590 of what makes Christmas stories so special. It's 00:01:32.590 --> 00:01:34.810 not about grand gestures or expensive presents. 00:01:34.969 --> 00:01:36.909 It's about thoughtfulness, surprise, and the 00:01:36.909 --> 00:01:39.310 joy of giving without expecting anything in return. 00:01:39.989 --> 00:01:42.569 Secret Santa moments remind us of kindness. It 00:01:42.569 --> 00:01:44.969 doesn't need an audience to make an impact. It's 00:01:44.969 --> 00:01:47.569 those quiet acts of generosity that truly makes 00:01:47.569 --> 00:01:49.730 a holiday shine. And that's our quote of the 00:01:49.730 --> 00:01:52.269 day. Now onto some headline news. Thank you for 00:01:52.269 --> 00:01:54.650 the quote of the day. Now here's some headline 00:01:54.650 --> 00:01:57.030 news from around the world. Our first headline 00:01:57.030 --> 00:01:59.950 comes from Reuters. Reuters reports that Dublin 00:01:59.950 --> 00:02:02.370 has cancelled its popular Christmas at the Castle 00:02:02.370 --> 00:02:07.109 market for both 2025 and 2026. The venue is being 00:02:07.109 --> 00:02:09.469 reserved for events linked to Ireland's upcoming 00:02:09.469 --> 00:02:12.569 EU presidency, meaning one of the city's biggest 00:02:12.569 --> 00:02:15.150 holiday attractions won't return for the next 00:02:15.150 --> 00:02:17.629 two seasons. While alternative Christmas events 00:02:17.629 --> 00:02:20.150 will continue across Dublin, Many vendors and 00:02:20.150 --> 00:02:22.810 local tourism groups say the cancellation will 00:02:22.810 --> 00:02:25.189 have a noticeable economic impact during the 00:02:25.189 --> 00:02:28.289 holiday rush. Our next headline comes from AP 00:02:28.289 --> 00:02:31.949 News. According to the Associated Press, seafarer 00:02:31.949 --> 00:02:34.849 welfare organizations are ramping up their annual 00:02:34.849 --> 00:02:37.289 Christmas outreach programs in major ports around 00:02:37.289 --> 00:02:40.090 the world. Volunteers are delivering gift packages, 00:02:40.650 --> 00:02:42.969 helping crews contact their families and offering 00:02:42.969 --> 00:02:45.349 support to workers who have been at sea for months. 00:02:45.770 --> 00:02:48.449 With shipping delays and long voyages, Increasing 00:02:48.449 --> 00:02:50.629 this year, the effort is being described as one 00:02:50.629 --> 00:02:53.090 of the largest seafarer Christmas support operations 00:02:53.090 --> 00:02:56.310 in recent years. And finally, our last headline 00:02:56.310 --> 00:02:58.189 comes from The Guardian. The Guardian reports 00:02:58.189 --> 00:03:00.789 that a record number of climate and Gaza -related 00:03:00.789 --> 00:03:03.590 protesters will be spending Christmas in UK prisons 00:03:03.590 --> 00:03:06.270 this year. Rights groups say that the unusually 00:03:06.270 --> 00:03:09.389 high number reflects a stricter government response 00:03:09.389 --> 00:03:12.159 to civil disobedience. Advocates argue that the 00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:14.400 situation highlights ongoing tensions between 00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:16.919 national security laws and the right to peacefully 00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:19.400 protest, an issue drawing extra attention during 00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:21.719 the holiday season. And that ends our headline 00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:25.199 news for this episode. Thank you, Vijay. To start 00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:27.319 off this segment, and before we get into our 00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:29.900 secret Santa game, we wanted to do something 00:03:29.900 --> 00:03:32.819 different. We all know about Santa Claus, Christmas 00:03:32.819 --> 00:03:35.319 trees, the Christmas story about Jesus' birth, 00:03:35.699 --> 00:03:38.539 and other holiday traditions. But the world is 00:03:38.539 --> 00:03:40.919 a big place, and not everyone celebrates the 00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:43.759 same way. So I asked my team to do a little research 00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:46.300 and find the weirdest, wackiest, or just most 00:03:46.300 --> 00:03:48.639 interesting holiday traditions from around the 00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:51.599 globe. Proud, why don't you start us off? What 00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:55.060 did you find? I found one from Iceland, and honestly 00:03:55.060 --> 00:03:57.120 it's kind of terrifying. It's called the Yule 00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:00.360 Cat. The Yule Cat? That sounds cute, I think. 00:04:00.590 --> 00:04:03.389 It is definitely not cute. It's a giant vicious 00:04:03.389 --> 00:04:06.009 cat that is said to prowl around the snowy countryside 00:04:06.009 --> 00:04:08.409 during Christmas. The legend says that if you 00:04:08.409 --> 00:04:10.650 don't receive new clothes to wear before Christmas 00:04:10.650 --> 00:04:13.430 Eve, the Yule Cat will come and eat you. Wait, 00:04:13.550 --> 00:04:16.509 it eats you because you didn't go shopping? Basically, 00:04:16.709 --> 00:04:19.110 it was originally a way to get farm workers to 00:04:19.110 --> 00:04:21.230 work harder so they could finish processing the 00:04:21.230 --> 00:04:23.750 wool before winter. If you worked hard, you'd 00:04:23.750 --> 00:04:26.410 get new clothes. If you didn't, you'd work cat 00:04:26.410 --> 00:04:29.040 food. If you get socks for Christmas this year, 00:04:29.180 --> 00:04:32.279 be grateful. They might save your life. So, remind 00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:35.500 me to buy some socks later. BJ, follow that up. 00:04:35.660 --> 00:04:38.579 What do you have? I found a tradition that is 00:04:38.579 --> 00:04:40.939 much tastier, but just as surprising. It's from 00:04:40.939 --> 00:04:44.220 Japan. In Japan, Christmas isn't a national holiday, 00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:46.399 but they have a massive tradition for Christmas 00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:50.379 dinner. Kentucky Fried Chicken. KSC, of all things? 00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:54.980 Really? Dead serious. It started in 1974 with 00:04:54.980 --> 00:04:57.579 a marketing campaign called Kentucky for Christmas. 00:04:58.300 --> 00:05:00.560 It was so successful that now families order 00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:03.600 their party barrels months in advance. The lines 00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:07.300 are huge. It's estimated that 3 .6 million Japanese 00:05:07.300 --> 00:05:10.300 families eat fried chicken on December 25th. 00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:12.939 So, forget the turkey. Bring on the bucket of 00:05:12.939 --> 00:05:15.500 fried chicken. That is a marketing team that 00:05:15.500 --> 00:05:18.319 deserves a raise. James, take us to the next 00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:21.480 continent. Okay, I'm taking us to Caracas, Venezuela. 00:05:21.899 --> 00:05:24.000 If you think going to church on Christmas morning 00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:26.800 is boring, you haven't been to Caracas. There, 00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:29.180 it is a tradition for the entire city to travel 00:05:29.180 --> 00:05:33.379 to morning mass on roller skates. Roller skates? 00:05:33.500 --> 00:05:36.959 Really? Yes, really. It is such a popular tradition 00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:39.240 that the city actually closes the streets to 00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:42.620 cars until 8am so everyone can skate safely to 00:05:42.620 --> 00:05:45.339 church. They even tug on strings hanging out 00:05:45.339 --> 00:05:48.000 of windows as they skate by to wake up the kids. 00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:51.199 It sounds like a giant street party. That sounds 00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:53.300 incredible. I think we should try that here in 00:05:53.300 --> 00:05:55.720 Bangkok, although the traffic might be an issue. 00:05:56.259 --> 00:05:59.139 Yein, what is your weird tradition? Mine is from 00:05:59.139 --> 00:06:01.899 Germany, and it's a beautiful, quiet tradition 00:06:01.899 --> 00:06:04.819 that happens in the weeks leading up to Christmas. 00:06:05.339 --> 00:06:08.779 Many German families celebrate advent calendars, 00:06:08.819 --> 00:06:11.699 but not just the chocolate kind. Many families 00:06:11.699 --> 00:06:14.759 create their own. Each day from December 1st 00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:18.079 to the 24th, they open a little door or a little 00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:21.180 packet that holds a small meaningful gift. It 00:06:21.180 --> 00:06:24.300 could be a piece of candy, a tiny toy, a verse 00:06:24.300 --> 00:06:27.240 from a poem, or a note with an act of kindness 00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:31.759 to perform that day. It's about building anticipation 00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:35.019 and spreading little moments of joy every single 00:06:35.019 --> 00:06:38.100 day leading up to Christmas rather than just 00:06:38.100 --> 00:06:42.089 one big day. It helps families focus on the small 00:06:42.089 --> 00:06:45.449 precious moments of togetherness. Oh, I love 00:06:45.449 --> 00:06:48.829 that. A little bit of joy every day. So to recap, 00:06:49.449 --> 00:06:53.569 we have giant fashion police cats, KFC buckets, 00:06:53.889 --> 00:06:56.670 roller skating churchgoers and daily doses of 00:06:56.670 --> 00:06:59.889 Advent kindness. The world is a wonderful place, 00:06:59.990 --> 00:07:03.769 Mr. Jason. It certainly is. And I love it. Speaking 00:07:03.769 --> 00:07:06.589 of kindness and anticipation, it's time for one 00:07:06.589 --> 00:07:09.220 of our own traditions. Well, We've never done 00:07:09.220 --> 00:07:11.579 this before with our team, so this is a first. 00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:15.379 Our team did a secret Santa gift exchange. All 00:07:15.379 --> 00:07:17.839 the team members are in the process of opening 00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:20.199 their gifts or have just finished opening their 00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:23.100 gifts. We will go one by one and each team member 00:07:23.100 --> 00:07:25.920 will do four things when they step up to the 00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:28.459 mic. They will introduce themselves, describe 00:07:28.459 --> 00:07:31.100 the gift they opened, read the one word clue, 00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:35.439 then guess who it was from. Then, you may either 00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:38.699 hear a yes or no from the crowd. Okay, to get 00:07:38.699 --> 00:07:41.220 this thing started, we'll have our co -host go 00:07:41.220 --> 00:07:44.860 first, then break for a quick PSA, and then we'll 00:07:44.860 --> 00:07:47.759 finish with everyone else. Okay, Proud, you go 00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:50.319 first. Hi, I'm Proud, I'm the co -host of Students 00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:54.399 Incorporated, and my gift is a matcha plushies, 00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:57.879 and one word clue that I got is pen, so I think 00:07:57.879 --> 00:08:01.879 it's from pun. No. Okay, it's not from pun, so... 00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:05.139 Would the secret Santa like to reveal themselves? 00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:08.240 Who is the matcha plushie from? Maybe it's yay 00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:11.180 in and she's not here. Oh, yeah. All right. So 00:08:11.180 --> 00:08:14.139 do you like your gift? I love my gift. All right. 00:08:14.199 --> 00:08:18.540 Okay. All right. Next up is Mr. James. James, 00:08:18.579 --> 00:08:21.199 come on up to the mic. Okay, we just before James 00:08:21.199 --> 00:08:24.819 reveals his gift. We just found out that Proud's 00:08:24.819 --> 00:08:28.100 gift is from VJ, but he was too shy to admit 00:08:28.100 --> 00:08:32.379 that anyways. Thank you VJ for the gift. that 00:08:32.379 --> 00:08:35.440 Proud got. Okay, James, you're up. All right, 00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:37.279 I'm James, one of the co -hosts for Students 00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:41.179 Incorporated. My gift is a Bath and Body Works 00:08:41.179 --> 00:08:45.360 cleansing gel hand soap, Peach Bellini. And the 00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:48.899 clue word is a joke, which I don't know. I would 00:08:48.899 --> 00:08:52.460 probably think it's from Robin. Oh, okay. It's 00:08:52.460 --> 00:08:54.679 not from Robin. Okay, what secrets Santa like 00:08:54.679 --> 00:09:00.470 to reveal themselves? it's a pun oh my it's from 00:09:00.470 --> 00:09:04.690 pun all right there you go that's okay next up 00:09:04.690 --> 00:09:07.870 we have esther go ahead and introduce yourself 00:09:07.870 --> 00:09:11.190 and describe your gift read the one word clue 00:09:11.190 --> 00:09:14.730 and then guess who you think it's from so my 00:09:14.730 --> 00:09:18.549 name is esther and i'm one of the co -hosts the 00:09:18.549 --> 00:09:21.909 gift that i got was hand cream lip balm and a 00:09:21.909 --> 00:09:25.389 christmas tree clip hair clip And the one word 00:09:25.389 --> 00:09:27.809 clue I got was volleyball, and I think it's from 00:09:27.809 --> 00:09:31.649 Enwoo. Enwoo? Yes. Oh, yes, that's a great guess. 00:09:31.750 --> 00:09:34.570 Good job. Thank you. And there you go. That's 00:09:34.570 --> 00:09:36.730 how the game is played. We'll finish up with 00:09:36.730 --> 00:09:38.950 everyone else right after this short PSA, so 00:09:38.950 --> 00:09:46.470 don't go anywhere. We have had so much fun today, 00:09:46.570 --> 00:09:49.029 laughing at weird traditions, opening gifts and 00:09:49.029 --> 00:09:50.990 enjoying the party. And it's true, the lights, 00:09:51.129 --> 00:09:53.580 the food and the decorations are wonderful. But 00:09:53.580 --> 00:09:55.679 I want to take a moment to pause because we know 00:09:55.679 --> 00:09:57.799 that not everyone listening today celebrates 00:09:57.799 --> 00:10:00.679 Christmas. And not everyone shares the same faith. 00:10:01.019 --> 00:10:03.000 But there is a reason why this time of the year 00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:05.759 feels different. There's a reason why for centuries, 00:10:05.899 --> 00:10:08.100 people have paused in the month of December to 00:10:08.100 --> 00:10:10.419 light a candle. Beyond the shopping malls and 00:10:10.419 --> 00:10:12.679 the reindeer, the heart of Christmas isn't about 00:10:12.679 --> 00:10:15.179 what, it's about who. It's a celebration of a 00:10:15.179 --> 00:10:18.259 child born in a manger. A quiet moment that changed 00:10:18.259 --> 00:10:21.080 history. For Christians, this is the birth of 00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:23.620 Christ, the moment that hope and light entered 00:10:23.620 --> 00:10:26.460 the world in the form of a baby. It's a story 00:10:26.460 --> 00:10:28.720 that tells us that even in the darkest time, 00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:31.519 we are not forgotten and we are loved. And whether 00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:33.559 you observe this holiday religiously or not, 00:10:33.700 --> 00:10:35.820 I think the message of that night is something 00:10:35.820 --> 00:10:38.500 we all need right now. It's a message of peace 00:10:38.500 --> 00:10:41.639 on earth and goodwill to all. So we invite you 00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:44.600 to embrace that spirit of peace, of hope, humble 00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:47.159 beginnings, and of a love that is meant to be 00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:50.049 shared with everyone. From all of us at Students 00:10:50.049 --> 00:10:52.850 Incorporated, we wish you true peace this season. 00:10:53.289 --> 00:10:56.309 Okay, now back to our Secret Santa game.
