We\u2019re in Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa Countdown! To keep you company while you slowly lose your mind, we\u2019re re-running some of our favorite holiday episodes. This week we're revisiting "Handling the Holiday Craziness" \u2014 need we say more?\nEach December 25th, most moms look at a living room full of scattered wrapping paper and vow to do less next year. Then Black Friday rolls around. But can you really downshift on how much Santa brings once a baseline has been established?\n\xa0This week Amy and Margaret talk about managing the holiday craziness. (Disclaimer: for both of us, that does mean Christmas, although we feel the pain of the Hanukkah Harriets out there, we really do).\nHere\u2019s some of what\u2019s discussed in this episode:\n\xa0\t-how to get your kids more involved in holiday preparations\u2014 at any age\n\t-\xa0the very appealing\xa0\u201cthree kings, three gifts\u201d rule\n\t-how to carefully consider any new holiday \u201ctraditions\u201d before instating them (we\u2019re looking at you, Elf on the Shelf)\n\t-how the Laws of Holiday Attrition can work in your favor\n\t-how Amy uses\xa0this cookie recipe\xa0every December and it\u2019s easy and amazing\n\t-what to do when your spouse\xa0gives you a Pajamagram\n\n\ufeffWe love the sponsors that make this show possible!
