In this week’s episode, we’re diving into all things Santa, Christmas, and sleep — because the holidays bring magic… and also overstimulation, late nights, sugar, travel, chaos, and so many opinions from relatives who haven’t had a baby in 30 years.
We share how each of us navigates Santa in our homes, what we do (and don’t) feel comfortable with, and why we aren’t forcing Santa photos if our kids are terrified. We talk gift budgets, overstimulation, boundaries, and how to protect your child’s emotional well-being when everything around them is loud, bright, and busy.
And of course — we get into sleep during the holidays. How we personally handle bedtimes, what we let slide, what we protect, and how we respond to the classic unsolicited advice.
This is your reminder that you can keep the magic and keep the connection. You can enjoy the season without sacrificing your child’s sense of safety or your own sanity.
Grab a cozy drink, curl up, and join us for a very real, very relatable holiday chat.
