Feeling trapped by a nonstop holiday parade of parties and family visits? This episode helps couples decide together what an ideal Christmas looks like, set realistic boundaries, and communicate kindly but firmly with relatives.

Practical ideas include hosting limited visiting hours, offering alternative days or locations, and encouraging older generations to be flexible—so your marriage and family actually enjoy the season.

Speaking of giving, our year-end giving it going great, we've hit 25%! Can you help us hit our $10,000 goal before Christmas?
