The Ghost of Holiday Spirit

from Childproof · host Gwenna Laithland and Tori Phantom

The holidays can be hard. From schedules to budgets, magic to mayhem, there’s a lot. All the time. It feels like we kick a ball down the hill October first and then spend a full 120 days chasing it back down. How do you maintain that holiday spirit for the long haul? Should you or is that a more unrealistic expectation of perfection? And when everything feels heavy, how do you keep it light for the kids? We want to hear from you! Do you have questions, comments, jokes, or anything else you want us to know?
