It's taxing enough adjusting to being someone's spouse--now you're a very tiny someone's parent!

For many of us, the week between Christmas and New Years means lots of food, family, and flexibility.

Between the shopping and wrapping and cooking and cleaning and endless decking of halls, it's easy to forget the reason for the season. In this episode, the jolly HMTOP elves identify the top holiday landmines and how couples can avoid them.
