Does the overwhelm of the holidays ever force you to choose between going all in, or doing nothing at all? Maybe you're somewhere in the middle, but overcomplicating it for yourself and not even enjoying any of your traditions, or the relationships around you. Today Brooke Romney joins me to discuss the importance of simplifying holiday traditions.

Brooke shares her insights on the challenges of overcomplicating the holiday season and how she has navigated this in her own family. Some specific examples of simple yet meaningful holiday traditions, are their "Best Lights Award," a candy bar gift exchange, and a dollar store gift exchange.

We lean into the value of creating traditions that align with the core values and feelings each family member associates with the holiday season. Brooke also encourages you to communicate with your family members to identify what makes Christmas feel special to each individual and overall, offers practical tips and inspiring ideas for creating a more joyful and simplified holiday experience.
