🎄 Christmas is here—and we’re celebrating with friends. In this special holiday episode, we’re talking all things Christmas... traditions, Christmas morning chaos, and the moments that make the season meaningful. For the first time in nine years, we’re heading back to the Duggar family home for Christmas—and along the way, we’re calling some dear friends to see how they do Christmas too.
We’re joined by Adam & Danielle Busby from OutDaughtered and Zach & Tori Roloff from Little People, Big World to swap stories about:
Christmas morning traditions (and the chaos that comes with them)
Gift-giving philosophies: quality vs. quantity
Live trees, wrapping-paper hallway hacks, and early wake-ups
When traditions change as kids grow up
How to keep Christmas special without making it stressful
This episode is filled nostalgia, parenting wisdom, and practical ideas you might just want to steal for your own family. Whether your Christmas mornings are calm or chaotic, this conversation is a reminder of what really makes the season sweet.
🎁 Grab a cup of hot cocoa, settle in, and celebrate Christmas with us.
Merry Christmas—and we’ll see you in the New Year. ❤️🎄
