Welcome in all you faithfuls and traders for the episode of By Order of the Faithful.

It's a short, little episode just talking about the holidays.

I'm Wells's Adams on alongside the lovely Dolores Catania.

Happy holidays, Dolores.

Happy holidays.

Are you excited for the holiday as well?

I love the holidays?

And here's the thing.

I assume we both grew up in very Catholic households.

I assume very much.

Yes, So obviously Christmas time is a big deal.

Big deal.

It's Jesus' birthday.

Yeah, it's yeah, it's jay C's birth dude, and my mother's too.

They share this.

She goes, if it's good enough for Jesus, it's good enough for me.

But I do love.

I do love the holidays.

I come from a big family, so I'm the youngest.

You're the youngest of five.

I'm the second oldest of five.

Really yeah, so I love like the gathering of family and friends and everything.

But this year is gonna be special.

You know, my wife's doing this Broadway show, so we're going to be in New York and I have to say, there is nothing more.

There is no magical place in the world that's more perfect for the holidays than New York City.

Honestly.

You know, I was in Cologne, Germany a couple of years ago around this time, and I went to the Christmas markets and it started to just flurry and I felt like I was in a living snow globe.

Yeah, it was amazing and beautiful.

Plus I'm a history buff and I know like Cologne and World War Two.

It was just just a really beautiful experience.

But there's no place like New York City no matter what.

It's like magical and beautiful, and the windows and the lights and the tree and you know, just to see all the people so.

And it's so close, it's my home.

I could walk to the bridge from here.

Yeah, there's nothing like like the first snow in Central Park walking through.

It's really magical.

So what are your plans for the holidays.

Well, like yourself, I'm the second of oldest five and we all meet at my house every holiday.

Every Christmas Eve, we sing Happy Birthday to my mom and to Jesus, and at night we go to midnight Mass the churches down the street.

But you know what I love about my hosting the holidays is and I was a single mom and I've been divorced now twenty seven years.

It always it was a lot of work because after everybody left, I'd have to get Christmas presents ready and everything.

But it always made it feel like a home.

Yeah, being together with family made it feel like a home.

So you're going to be with Sarah in.

New York and her folks.

They live on the Lower East Side too, so we'll, okay, we'll still be with family.

I won't be with my family, but it's.

A different family gathering.

There's not like kids and crazy and yelling and stuff all over the place.

Right, No, but that I have, we do have.

I have ten nieces and nephews, so when everyone gets together, it is it's like the Moonvie home alone.

Yes, well mine's like the ghetto version of home alone.

Yeah, And it's like it's crazy, but I love it.

I love that you mentioned midnight Mass.

I love that's my favorite go to.

Saint Patrick's Cathedral for midnight.

You have to one of my favorite things about midnight Mass.

And I don't know if this is what your guys' family does, but this is what my family likes to drink.

All right, We're a bunch of old winemakers.

Oh okay, real Italian.

Yeah yeah, And so there's nothing that we love more than going to midnight mass little buzz.

You know, a lot of giggling in that pew.

Yes, exactly.

What are your plans for New Years?

Well?

For New Year's uh is here right in this very room, and my family comes over, and you know, well, I make I hate New Year's Eve, by the way.

I hate change and I hate saying goodbye to the year.

I don't care how bad it is.

I don't I like it just the way it is.

I like things the way it is.

So I've never been a fan of New Year's haven't been out on New Year's in many years.

But the next day I'm leaving, I do a fab over forty contest.

It's women who join this competition, and however much money they raise goes to breast cancer raises, like last year like eight million dollars, a year before like ten million.

Yeah.

So I go to the next day, I fly out to go to Arizona to meet the winner of fab over forty.

Amazing.

Yeah, that's so lovely it is.

Well, you're just the best, No wonder you won.

I'm not.

In terms of karma, you deserve it more than anybody.

But you know there's the other side of me that's not so nice.

Well, so I got to make my brother's like, I know you're just trying to get to heaven.

And then he's like, don't drink out of my glass either.

So are you asking for anything in particular for the holidays?

For Christmas?

No, because Paul buys me really nice stuff, so I don't want to negotiate zero, So I don't want to ask for something like less than he's buying me.

Yeah, what about you?

What are you get for Sarah?

I mean, you can't say, but I want to know.

Yeah, I don't know.

I got her awaya cell bag for her birthday, which was last month, so I feel like I got to kind of one up that.

But that's going to be an expensive gift.

But you know what I really want for the holidays to tell me, I want everyone to listen to our podcast as we still season four.

Look at you trying to get to heaven now, good boy.

I'm just trying to get my money in my bank account.

Well, I think that you and I and Tama need to do something about that.

I think that we need to do our TikTok and I think that we need to make this happen.

We do, yeah, and ask Sanah, Yeah, Sannah, this is and baby Jesus, this is what we need.

We make Jesus and all his little friends.

Yeah, we need some help.

All right.

Everyone out there, please make sure you're listening to our recap of season four.

It starts January eighth, so I think our first episode will be January ninth, when we recap this brand new season of the Traders.

Doris, I love you.

Happy holidays, and happy holidays, Merry Christmas.

And let's hang out when I'm in New York.

I would love that, so definitely keep in touch.

I wanted my friends coming into town.

I want to go to Sour's play Okay, yeah, and I really think you should do Saint Patrick's Cathedral and not sober.

Yes, yeah, I'm there.

You want to come with me?

I do?

Okay, I might.

I might consider that if I could get the family out of the house before ten thirty, I might make it.

All right, it's a day, all right, everyone, thanks so much for listening to buy all of the faithfuls.

We'll be back again and better than ever, very soon, Yes, thank you,
