Christmas. Yay or Nay? SoMa_19

Sophie is very excited about Christmas. Making gifts for those she loves, planning a special meal, and of course, baking cookies. She is surprised that Marianne doesn't feel quite the same way about this holiday.  Yes, there are some precious childhood memories, but after studying religions of the world, it is clear to Marianne that the solstice is what was really celebrated at this time of the year. To our long term listeners, it will be no surprise that the consumerism of this season does not sit right with Marianne as well. As always, our conversation takes us to many places and we are curious what you all think about this season. Do you celebrate?  Do you have traditions you follow during this time? Or are you creating your own? Join us on Patreon and let us know what you think. Psst. If this is a stressful time for you, Sophie got you with tips on letting go of stress and of course, with her meditation and Yin Yoga series. Wishing you the best Marianne and Sophie Find us on Patreon Blue Sky and please subscribe to our podcast via your favorite podcatcher.
