AF-1014: Grandma’s Gingerbread and Grandpa’s Carol | Ancestral Findings Podcast


Imagine stepping into a warm kitchen on a cold December afternoon. Light streams through the window, catching dust motes in the air as the oven door swings open to reveal rows of gingerbread cookies—crisp edges, soft centers, and that unmistakable aroma of holiday spices. Over in the living room, somewhere between the fireplace and the decorated tree, a song floats softly through the house. It’s an old melody your grandfather sang every year, carrying a quiet strength that somehow still feels close, even if he’s no longer sitting in that armchair by the window.
