In this episode, Lindsay shares a nice conversation with a guest speaker, Lindsay's wonderful mama, Carolyn. She is a social worker, born in the baby boomer generation, and one of the most loving, gift-giving people Lindsay knows. In this episode, they discuss the issues that minimalist families sometimes run into at Christmas or birthdays with well-meaning relatives wanting to give many gifts to the families. It's hard when lifestyles conflict, so the conversation includes discussion about how to compromise, ways to communicate, and ideas for giving gifts of experiences rather than items. Hopefully, this episode will help minimalists and non-minimalists alike to understand each other and reach a compromise that everyone can be happy with.
