The Christianville Spirit 

The Spirit that Creates New Beginnings 

November 29th, 2023- TCS # 835 

 

Time for a Storyline, My Readers! Okay, This is an Odd Greeting even for Me. You See, Myself and A Few of My PTLS Friends come up with Random Storylines about What would Happen if All of Us PTLSer Friends, went Somewhere; Did Something; or Handle Certain Situations. In Case, You were Wondering that The Term, “Storyline” means to Me! 

So, In My Newsletters, I talk a lot of PTLS, Travel, What is Happening in My Life, or My View on Something. But, I feel that I don’t talk too much about Another “Storyline” if You will and That is the Ongoings in My Made-up  

City of Christianville.  

Now, No I am not saying My City of Christianville is a Storyline per se However, It’s People have Their Own Storylines! 

In This Case, There is a Great On-Going Storyline in My Head that is Probably The Best Storyline (If You will) that I have Done.  

So, I am going to share with You, The Greatest On-Going Storyline in Christianville. On Top of That, A Christianville Legend is Going to Narrate and Interact with This Storyline! 

Gather ‘Round, My Readers! Gather ‘Round!  

This is The Greatest Story Ever Told in Christianville with A Christianville Legend at The Helm! 

 I would like to Introduce You to The Legend of Christianville, John Maplewood. John Maplewood has been A Broadcasting Legend in Our Great City of Christianville.  

He was The Most Hilarious Voice and Commentator on  

Christianville’s Source for Everything Related to  

The “Christian’s Best Friend’s Festival, 97.9 WPSKI. 

Everyone in Our City of Christianville listens to John Maplewood and His often Hilarious Comments about The Events of The “Best Friends Festival”. People in Christianville loved Him for His Honesty, Genuineness, and Love for The Career of Radio Broadcasting. 

Around July of This Year, John Maplewood announced that He would be retiring of His Career of Radio Broadcasting at The Beginning of November, Right before The Best Friend Festival. Even with This Year’s 18th Christian’s Best Friends’ Festival drawing Near, although He had a Replacement, Stephanie Miller of Bridgett Marie,  

The People at The 97.9 WPSKI Radio Station as well as John Maplewood agreed at that, Although They would LOVE for John Maplewood to do One More Year of Commentating, that John Maplewood would Leave with a Bang. 

The People of The Radio Station called it,  

John Maplewood’s Gift to Christianville 

Where The Greatest Legend of Christianville Broadcasting would Interview, The Greatest Couple in Christianville, Bryan and Holly (aka “The Festival Couple”). 

So, We, here at The Christianville Spirit, wish John Maplewood The Greatest of Luck in His Retirement and Having High Hopes for The (New) Broadcaster in Chief for The “Best Friend’s Festival”, Stephanie Miller! 

So, To Explain The History of and Interview with Bryan and Holly, The “Festival Couple”,

Background Story 

The Newsletters 

So, Basically, The Newsletter that was an Email at The Time mentioned that was 2nd Day of the 2nd Annual "Christian's Best Friends' Festival" on Brooke Day.  

It mentions that Festivities from Friends St. in  

Downtown Christianville to a City north of Town 

 called Brooke, TN.  

Brooke is The City (At the time) that I lived in.  

I Presently live in the Geography District in 

 Christianville proper 

 
 

++ Brooke Day Newsletter

(November 17th, 2006) 

How They Met 

  

 
 

It continues to say Today was the Christian C. and  

Brooke Herrick Fair and, then, Basically interviewed Fair Goers for reactions including 3 Year from Steven (Presently, Paco-Ma) saying "Mommy, this is cool!" and The Highlight... 

 
 

a Christianville Teen said "dude, this is cool. now, i'm going to go on the ferris wheel w/ this girl i know and i'm going to ask her out when we get to the top" "man, i hope she says yes. wish me luck" 

Only Bad Reaction was a 23 Year Old from Geography District wondering where Karleen (My Best Friend) was. saying They saw her downtown the day before but, not today 

 
 
 

++ Meredith Day Newsletter  

(November 18th, 2006) 

 
 

The Newsletter written on Meredith Day basically The Same but, with Updated Interview with The "Christianville Teen" 

 
 

(It Reads) well, we actually got an update on the Christianville Teen who asked the girl he knew on the ferris wheel and it turned out that she did say yes and he was very happy about it. he says "I finally have a Girlfriend and if y'all want to kno her name is Holly Ginger" as said to Holly later that night "I'm soooo glad that we're together. I Love You Holly!" oh and our Christianville Teen wished us a Happy Meredith Day. 

 
 

Quote from Him Continues later "Happy Meredith Day and I Love Holly" from Christianville Teen, Bryan Athens 

 
 
 

++ Whitney Day Newsletter  

(November 19th, 2006) 

 
 

Whitney Day's Newsletter mentions about them again. "well, guess who was at Whitney Day? if u guessed the Christianville Teens, Bryan and Holly, you were right! let's hear what their up to now. when we found Bryan and Holly on Whitney Day we found them at S. Izzy St. and W. Michael St. (Christianville's Hang Out Street) singing about how much they love eachother on Whitney Day. here's a piece of what they were singing. "I Love Holly on Whitney Day and i'm crusin' D-Town Cville" and Holly was singing "I Love Bryan!" in tone of the song, "I Love Rock N' Roll" sounds like they're pretty awesome couple and they can say they met (at) Christian's Best Friend. aww,nothing like Best Friend Festival Romance! lol. 

 
 
 

++ Steven Day Newsletter (November 20th, 2006) 

 
 

Steven Day Newsletter (Presently "McKenna-Faith Day") Mentions that It was The Final Day of The Festival and doing a Final Check-In with "The Festival Couple" so, let's do a final check on our Festival Couple, Bryan and Holly. when we found our Festival Couple. They were cuddling together saying I Love You to each other while watching the Tigger Parade and They both stood up and said in a disney kid style "Bryan and Holly love Tigger" and "Tigger is THE Coooolest person to walk the Christianville Metro Area" and finally as the festival is close to it's end for the 2nd year. Bryan and Holly remember their first day which was Brooke Day and as the festival ended they hugged each other and "I Love You and Happy Steven Day" oh and they had something to tell us and The Christianville Metro Area. they thanked us for telling the Metro Area about them and finally they wished us and the entire Christianville Metro Are A HAPPY STEVEN DAY! 

 

(John Maplewood Continues) So, Now that We have Talked about Their History, Let’s Interview The Greatest Couple in Christianville, Bryan and Holly!  

With Further a Due, Here are Bryan and Holly! 

 
 

(Bryan & Holly Interview) 

 

(JM) : You Two Met at The  

2nd Christian’s Best Friends’ Festival, 

Take Us Back to When You met 

(Bryan) Ah Yes! The Meeting! I was like 17 almost 18 Years Old when The “Festival Couple” Event happened. Holly was a Girl that I went to Middle School with, The Beginning of Junior Year, She moved from North Christianville to Brooke. I was Broken-Hearted and After I knew, that to Show Her that I really Loved Her (And, I did, So Much!) that I would take her to The Christian & Brooke Fair since She lived near There. When I got There, I felt a Pull at My Heart like “Ask Her Out!”, so I thought of The Most Romantic Idea at The Time, to Ask Her Out at The Top of The Ferris Wheel and Ask Her Out!  

(Holly) Ah! The “Asking Me Out” on a 

 Ferris Wheel! That Moment will live in My Heart forever. Of Course, at The Time, I wasn’t really The Biggest Fan of Ferris Wheels, but Bryan, He was so Cute, trying to Keep Me Calm and Then, He was like (Mimicking Bryan) “Holly, I’ve Loved You since Middle School! Will You go out with Me?” 

My Heart leaped out of The Seat and was Like, YES I Will Go Out with You! Bryan and I now Love When We go on That Ferris Wheel, It is Sort of a Tradition of Ours! 

 

(JM): How did You Fall in Love so Quickly 

(Bryan) You know those Stories where You find Your Soulmate at a Young Age?! Well, That was Holly to Me! She is and was My Soulmate, My Romantic Person! I become Friends with Her in 6th Grade (I was 12 Years Old), about Two Years Later in 8th Grade (14 Years Old) , I tried (Keyword here: Tried) to Kiss Her but, She pushed Me Away. It took Her until She was almost 17 Years Old to Admit that She had a Crush on Me, A Big One! 

(Holly) Truth be Told, Christianville; It was when I turned 16 that I started to have a “More than a Friend” Vibe with Bryan. I was just a Little Scared to admit to Myself and Him! After He asked Me out on The Festival, It was sort of like, I just Knew “I’m Going to Marry Him!” 

 

(JM): Christmas Eve, a Month after You Met, Marriage? So Soon?! 

(Bryan) You know what They say, When You know, Ya Know! After The Festival, We started talking about All The Fun We had and All The Love that We shared! Going into December, Holly was like, “I don’t want to live without You anymore!” and Then, I thought, “Ya Know, Your Name is Holly, won’t be Hilarious to Get Married on Christmas Eve?!” 

(Holly) I like to Say that It written in The Stars. My Name being Holly Ginger (Original Name); My Parents got Married at Christmas Time (December 11th, actually!) and The Idea of Getting Married on Christmas Eve, even though We had Only been Together since The Best Friends’ Festival in November; It kind of Made Sense! Plus, I could not handle the Distance (Even Though It was Short) and I just knew that I couldn’t live with Him! It was The Destiny of Us! He was My Cory and I was His Topanga! 

 

(JM): You Guys Inspired Couples all over Christianville with Your Loving Relationship, 

 How do You feel about That? 

(Bryan) You Know, I don’t mind being The Inspiration of Christianville Couples! Our Story is A Very Unique and Very Loving Story! If That helps those are In A Relationship or Even, if They Want to be in A Relationship, I am glad that I could help. I Give Advice to People all the Time. My Best and Classic One, If You can Think of a Number between 1 and 100 and Your Love for that Person, is Higher than Let’s Say 85 or 90, then, By All Means, Let Them know! Perhaps They Love You Higher than 85 or 90 too. If They do, I guarantee that You should Marry that Person! That Person, Is Your Soulmate and/or Romantic Person! 

(Holly) (Teary Eyed) I Love It when Couples come up to Me and Want to Know My Story! Sometimes, I go into Detail and Sometimes I don’t, It just depends on How Much Time The Person has (Laughs). But, I tell them that if They love Someone more than Anything in The World, They should go for It! 

 

(JM): Tell Us about Your Kids 

How did They come up with Their Names.  

Carol and Addison Grace. 

(Bryan) Considering Holly’s Christmas Themed Name, I mean, that is how Her Parents named Her; I figured that The Name, Carol fit The Christmas Themed Names. Naming Our Daughter, Carol was more of My Idea and Our Second Daughter, Addison Grace was More of My Idea because It seemed like a Beautiful Name to give Our Daughter. One Name that’s Christmasy and One Name that’s Just Beautiful when You say it!  

(Holly) Carol, She is literally The Sweetest Girl Ever! She’s about as Loving as Bryan is. I find it funny though, that Carol has Reddish-Orange Hair because of My Former Last Name, Ginger; and, Carol’s Hair is Ginger. That is Just Hilarious!  

We love Our Kids equally but, I feel like Addison Grace is literally a Daddy’s Girl when It comes to Bryan. Carol, She can be a Little Hot Headed (Considering The Whole Red Hair Thing!) but, She knows that She come to Me because She is The Apple of My Eye! 

 

(Bryan & Holly give Their Love and  

Congrats to John Maplewood)  

(Bryan) Thanks for Interviewing Us John! It was an Honor to Talk to You! We wish You heaps of Luck of Your Endeavors but, You will always be in Our Hearts well as The Hearts of All Christianvilleians Everywhere! Thank You! 

(Holly) (Tearing Eyed) An Honor would be an Understatement for You to Interview Us! I, Personally am Glad that Christianville got to Hear Our Story. From Beginning to Present. 

 Thank You!  

(John Maplewood Finale) Well, That was Bryan and Holly, The “Festival Couple”. I hope that You will Continue to Follow Their Great Romantic Story here in Christianville. Finally, I would like to Give a Big Thank You to Bryan and Holly, To The Radio Station, and Of Course, to You, Christianville! It is been an Amazing Ride.  

As John Maplewood, Stay Cool; Stay Classy, and Stay Loving! 

 

All in all here, Bryan and Holly “The Festival Couple” is, I feel the Greatest Storyline to Come out of a Festival that happens Every Year! I hope that You inspire after Them in Real Life because I would Imagine that, if Bryan and Holly were Real, that is What They would want! 

 

Thanks for Reading The Christianville Spirit. In The Words of John Maplewood: Stay Cool, Stay Classy, and Stay Loving!
