On today’s episode of the WONDER podcast, Sydney and Deirdre talk about some of their family’s Christmas traditions, including the Community Advent Calendar, something they grew up doing as a family. Sydney also talks about the time her mom told her and her siblings, out of frustration, the truth about Santa… TWO DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS! They didn’t realize it at the time, but that moment definitely was a pivotal one for them because it changed HOW they celebrate the holiday.

Sydney and Deirdre also talk about their #GiveBackChatt activity for Dec 3rd: Create a Giving List (And, if you listen to today’s episode of the podcast, you’ll understand why they picked that activity for today.) It’s SUPER simple: Grab a piece of paper and write down 3-5 names of people you want to GIVE gifts to this year. (Instead of compiling a list of things you want to receive!) And then spend some time thinking about personal gifts that you can put together.
