Episode 25 – The Human Heartbeat of Christmas
In this warm and uplifting Season 3 opener, we slow down for a simple Christmas moment — sugar cookies, childhood traditions, a little holiday history, and a reminder of what makes real human creativity so powerful in a world full of artificial noise.
You’ll learn the surprising origins of Christmas cookies, get a classic homemade sugar cookie recipe you can bake tonight, and hear the story behind the best-selling Christmas song of all time — “White Christmas.” And inside that story is the heartbeat of this entire season:
AI can imitate a voice… but only humans create traditions.
Only humans create meaning.
Only humans create Christmas.
Layer By Layer GO! Season 3 begins right here — with warmth, humanity, and the spark only you can bring into the world.
