The holidays should be a time of joy, but for families navigating a split or divorce, Christmas (and New Year’s) can feel like a juggling act of logistics, emotions, and “double‑gift” pressure. In this solo‑run “Friday Riff,” Cheryl dives deep into the teenage mindset during co‑parented holidays, shares real‑world conversation starters, and gives you a roadmap for creating smoother, stress‑free celebrations—all without making your kids feel like they have to be your therapist.
