Let’s talk about Christmas… from when and how we’re getting our trees, to traditions we love to keep, meaningful Advent calendars, gift exchanges and more! Plus, what Michelle and Jessica look like in Nutcracker form, how to keep calm this season and the best Christmas music you should be listening to!
If you want to make Advent boxes like we do, here are some links to boxes like the ones we trim as individual tiny presents for the season: cubic and pillow.
Our episode on gift-giving was referenced multiple times, so in case you missed it, you can check it out here!
Jessica recommends Simply on Purpose’s Gifts of Togetherness for clever ideas for the season (scroll down to find the Christmas bundle and enter your email - it’s worth it) and Michelle reads this book with her family for Advent (though not necessarily intended for Advent, the chapters leading up to the birth of Jesus almost perfectly coincide with the number of days of Advent, with a margin for error because the holidays can get busy).
And finally… our favorite Christmas music!
You’re going to have to Google these yourselves, we’re not allowed to link them for some reason.
