Welcome, friends to the “thanks” and “giving” episode of The Sami Cone Show for November 2020.
WWe start today’s show by learning a simple and delicious Pumpkin Bread recipe from the queen of desserts, Gigi Butler. Then I have a special conversation with the incredible Grammy-Award winning group, the Oak Ridge Boys, about their new holiday dinner show at Opryland, “Christmas in Tennessee”.
Finally, I’m excited to share my annual “Gifts that Give Back” guide, with items at the top of everyone’s wish list that also have a charitable component to them.
So get ready to be educated, entertained and empowered because THIS is The Sami Cone Show…
Episode 15 of The Sami Cone Show aired on Friday, November 13, 2020 at 1 PM, and re-aired on Saturday, November 14 at Noon. Scroll to the bottom of the post to watch the show in its entirety.

Gigi’s Blue Ribbon Pumpkin Bread Recipe
Looking for the perfect fall recipe that’s easy for anyone in the family to make? Then you’ll want to try Gigi’s Blue Ribbon Pumpkin Bread Recipe!
Gigi Butler, from Pies by Gigi, joined me on air to demonstrate her award-winning bread and tell us how you can sample her pies and treats from anywhere in the country!
Oak Ridge Boys Interview
I had the extreme pleasure of interviewing the Grammy-Award winning group, the Oak Ridge Boys, outside of the iconic Opryland hotel. They’ll be home for Christmas for the first time in decades and hosting their “Christmas in Tennessee” dinner show during Opryland’s “A Country Christmas”.

Gifts that Give Back Guide & Giveaway
One of my favorite times of year is getting to feature gifts that do double duty. That’s right, it’s my annual Gifts that Give Back guide & giveaway!
You’ll find products made with love, many from right here in Nashville, that all have a charitable component to them. PLUS, two lucky winners will get an assortment of products I featured on both my show and Talk of the Town.
Before I Go, I Need You to Know: Why I’m Grateful for 2020
Yes, you heard me right. I’m grateful for this year. Why? Because every day is a gift.
While this has been one of the most difficult years of my life personally, not to mention for our world, I don’t wish away a day.
James 4:4 reminds us that, “The reality is you have no idea where your life will take you tomorrow. You are like a mist that appears one moment and then vanishes another.”
Therefore, let us not take one moment on this earth for granted. I have learned to embrace joy and grief simultaneously. And, just as I remind my kids each night, you can always find one good thing in every circumstance and everybody.
So thank you, 2020, for reminding us to slow down, re-assess, and get back to basics.
For helping us to have a greater appreciation for our front-line workers, teachers and essential employees.
And for showing us that although this virus may be novel, our God remains in control through it all.
So how do we put this into practice every day?
We rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in ALL circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
