All Tricks, No Treats #29 Surviving the Holidays, Decking the Halls, and Dodging Drama

All Tricks, No Treats

Ding Dong! Ever felt that swell of pride so strong it could burst your heart? Well, strap in, because we're spilling on Bubby's first ballet recital, where every pirouette and plié was a punch to the feels. We're serving up a holiday platter of personal tales, TV obsessions (hello, Tony Soprano), and Italian meat cravings, all while navigating the festive chaos that knits our family closer. And speaking of knits, let's not forget the girls' getaway to Boston—history, clams, and a chill that made us all the more grateful for each other's warmth.
Now, let's get real about decking the halls without decking someone in the face—holiday stress, we're looking at you. Our latest episode is your survival guide through the tinsel-laden trenches, complete with my hubby's ninja wrapping skills that turn gift-giving into an art form. We're tossing you our lifesaving tips and hilarious listener stories that prove we're all just one ugly sweater away from a Christmas meltdown. Plus, a shout-out to all who've expertly dodged that dreaded "When are you getting married?" question—we feel you.
We wrap up with a cozy chat about those small, shared moments that make living with others a sitcom-worthy adventure. From hair ties conducting a disappearing act to the great sock escapade and the nocturnal symphonies our loved ones serenade us with—we've covered it all. And we didn't forget those Lifetime movie castings that send us into generational shockwaves—Melissa Joan Hart, a grandma? C'mon. So, pour yourself some eggnog, and let's laugh our way through the holidays and beyond, spilling tea that's too good for TMZ but just right for us.
Leave a question or secret you've been meaning to get off your chest so we could play it LIVE (anonymously), and we will give you advice, talk about it, and laugh together. Anything from relationship stuff, sex stuff, kids' stuff, and even single stuff! ↓↓↓
