New Episodes EVERY Monday!
This week, we’re sitting down for a cosy chat about Christmas — and realising that even though we both thought we grew up celebrating like everyone else, it turns out our childhood Christmas experiences could be quite different.From subtle British Christmas lights to full-blown American neighbourhood light fights, stockings on the bed versus stockings on the fireplace, nativity plays and Christmas pudding versus holiday concerts and gingerbread houses, we’re comparing what Christmas looked like growing up on opposite sides of the Atlantic.We talk about the traditions that shaped us, the things that surprised us when we experienced Christmas in the other country (Italian food?!), and how we’re now blending British and American Christmases for our girls. Food, decorations, school memories, family quirks — we've got it all right here!Let us know in the comments: what Christmas traditions did you grow up with, and are you blending more than one culture in your celebrations? December is officially in full swing here, and we’ve got plenty more festive episodes coming!
