In This Special Episode:

 It’s our Christmas Eve edition, and we’re doing something a little different. Instead of our usual format, Len and Sara each sit down with their families for some fun, heartfelt, and laugh-out-loud conversations.

We ask everyone:

What’s one Christmas tradition they never want to change?

What’s the most memorable gift they’ve ever received?

And… who is the hardest person in the family to shop for (and why)? 

From meaningful moments to unexpected answers, this episode is a reminder of what Christmas is really about — connection, memories, and the people we love most.

Cozy up, grab a cup of something warm, and join us for a Christmas Eve conversation that feels like home.

Merry Christmas from our family to yours!
