Well, it’s officially the holiday season—American Thanksgiving was last week, Advent starts a week from this Sunday, and Christmas comes along soon after. How to enjoy it all without spiraling into overwhelm?

That’s the topic of this week’s episode. Stephanie and Tsh share how they do the holidays in their own homes—both do their best to keep things simple, but they do things pretty differently. They talk about gift-giving, card-sending (or not), easing into decor vs. doing it all at once, how to honor Advent without going nuts, and more.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Let’s keep it that way without feeling the need to do All The Things.
