In this cozy, end-of-year catch-up, we trade stories from the holiday hustle, from tech hiccups and Christmas decorating to pets taking over the house and kitchens filled with gingerbread, bread baking experiments, and Swedish holiday traditions. Along the way, we swap gift ideas, share family updates, and explore how AI tools are quietly reshaping everyday work and education. Equal parts festive, personal, and practical, this episode feels like a warm conversation over coffee, mug warmer optional.
