In this episode, we cover:
•Holiday magic fades fast as mothers, despite our big daydreams that it will be extra magical when we make our favorite childhood holiday moments happen for our own kids.
•When holiday disasters befall us, everything feels much worse than regular crises, and it's generally the parents—aka holiday project managers—who suffer the most while the kids are generally oblivious.
•While you're making your Wish List, write your Bitch List too and vent all your frustrations—cleanse your palate and get them out before the season gets too crazy!
•The antidote to holiday stress and disappointment is YOU—focus on yourself by indulging your senses and making magic for yourself instead of your kids.
•Need some inspiration? Revisit the most delicious memories of the holiday season fro when you were a kid.
•Give yourself holiday pleasure vines to swing from and remember: You cannot control other people's happiness around the holidays. But you can control your own.
In our third annual holiday episode, Stace and Steph talk about one of our favorite subjects: how much we both love the holidays and how disappointing they can be for us as mothers. As we so often do, we encourage mother plussers to GET REAL about their feelings of dread and disappointment, and we're giving you permission to vent with a holiday Bitch List. We revisit the expectation—>disappointment loop and remind you to indulge yourself this year. And we have a question—How do you want to feel this holiday season?
