Patti and Manny bring all the “Holiday Cheer & Big Family Energy” in this warm, funny, and deeply heartfelt episode as they share what it’s really like navigating the season with their beautifully blended family—three daughters, two step-sons, exes who are genuinely friends, Molly and her fiancé Squeeky flying in from Portland, and a house full of guests despite a basement mid-renovation. From traditions old and new to Christmas shopping chaos, staying grounded as a couple, and embracing gratitude through it all, this episode offers real talk, big laughs, and a simple Holiday Manifesto for anyone seeking less pressure and more presence this season.
