Podcasts about christmases

On this episode I share all manner of enthusiasm about the new year (WHAT IS BETTER THAN A NEW YEAR REALLY THERE IS NOTHING), and Melanie shares all manner of enthusiasm about her extensive house clean-out (WHAT IS BETTER THAN A CLEAN-OUT REALLY THERE IS NOTHING). Of course we recap our respective Christmases and discuss all that we've done (and watched) to celebrate the season. Melanie also offers an alternate calendar theory, and it's her turn for Five Favorites. Happy New Year, everybody!

To celebrate the holidays, Believe to See is re-airing episodes from past Christmases. Or should we say from Christmas Past? "Is It a Christmas Movie?" first aired on December 3, 2022.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit meetthemess.substack.comMove over, Meet the Press—it's time to MEET THE MESS!On today's holiday episode, Jen and Karyn dive headfirst into advent calendar chaos: which ones delighted, which ones disappointed, and which ones are absolutely getting a repeat next year. Plus, a real-life unboxing of a custom Birkin bag straight from Paris (because obviously). They also recap their Christmases and share New Year plans. All this and more on a cozy, casual, end-of-year episode!

Every year after Christmas, the same conversation resurfaces: moms waking up to empty stockings and the internet rushing in with advice to leave, rage, or declare the relationship doomed.But what if the stocking isn't the real issue?In this episode, we slow the moment down and talk honestly about why this seemingly small disappointment hits so hard for so many moms and what it actually reveals about mental load, visibility, inherited patterns, and modern partnership.We read real posts from moms, talk through the full spectrum of reactions (from “it was an honest miss” to “this has been happening for years”), and explore why the empty stocking often becomes a quiet test of recognition, effort, and shared responsibility.This isn't a hate-on-men episode.And it's not a “just get over it” one either.It's a grounded conversation about:Why this moment feels bigger than giftsHow inherited family patterns show up at holidaysWhen disappointment is information—not a verdictWhy “just tell him what you want” often doesn't workHow couples can respond without blowing things up or sweeping it under the rugWe also share what actually helped us have one of our most connected Christmases yet and what we see help couples repair moments like this instead of letting resentment calcify.If this episode stirred something up and you want help having the conversation underneath the disappointment, we created a free guide called The Stocking Was the Symptom—a calm, honest conversation guide for couples who don't want this moment to define their marriage.

Before recording the night's session, the guys talk about their Christmases, their recent injuries and bad bank experience, are beans good or not, scam ai videos begging for money, the ridiculous new Stranger Things Season 5 scene, our dystopian society and more!

We hope you all had a great Christmas. This week we discuss our Christmases, buying presents for family, what we got and adding an extra month to the year to get more snow by Christmas.  We talk non spoilers Stranger Things season 5 watching, New Years celebrations and locking cupboards to keep food safe from gremlin children. Noble explains how  Feliz Navidad sounds like the Police nabbed me dad, we discuss other favourite Christmas songs and family xmas traditions. Peroty questions Noble and Nitedemon on what is boxing day? Noble tries to ask some Destiny questions and we get down with the kids playing Fortnite.

What are your favorite memories at Christmas? For me, it's putting up the Christmas tree, and then adding all the lights and ornaments and lighting up our living room.Every December we hang lights that drive out the darkness. But sometimes circumstances bring a darkness.The darkness of feeling lonely while you see everyone else with friends and family.The darkness of grief over lost Christmases with loved ones due to separation or death.The darkness of anxiety of being enough, doing enough, going enough. It's exhausting.The darkness of sin that produces shame and guilt that hang over souls like a thick fog that won't lift.The great news - Jesus conquers and drives out all darkness. Because the incarnation of Jesus is real, the light of the world has come and the darkness has not overcome Him. My darkness, your darkness, all darkness, has to flee in the presence of Jesus.In our Christmas season, we want to explore how the light of Jesus can drive away any darkness that overshadows our lives. So, come and bring all your stuff. You don't have to leave it at home when you come to Jesus. You don't have to pretend. Come and bring your darkness and surrender it and receive his light.Jesus truly is Light in the Darkness - and you will realize that He is Light in Your Darkness.

KB & DJ are BACK and kick things off recapping their Christmases and having some HYSTERICAL laughs as they always do. Then they recap Week 4 in the NLL and try to figure out what the hell is wrong with the Oshawa FireWolves offense, tell the masses to pump the breaks on Vegas, and an UNREAL goalie fight that broke the internet. Then they preview Week 5 of NLL action that they dub "Rivalry Weekend" and dish out their Picks of the Week. Then they wrap up discussing the latest in PLL Free Agency and the first signings exclusively for the Championship Series.

Dave, Joe and Vinny recount some past Christmases, and then talk about some of the fun they saw in the community this Christmas.

At this coldest, darkest time of year, draw near the fire and the radio, join with family and friends, and savor the warmth and joy of good company, good food, and good stories.  Master storyteller Jay O'Callahan shares some tales, including one about his community's tradition of Christmas caroling and how it brought hope to his mother in a time of darkness and for Christmases to come. Also, Tem Blessed, an environmentally and socially-conscious hip-hop artist, discusses how contemporary music can communicate the importance of the environment and sustainability to young audiences.  And Denny Breau, a singer/songwriter from Maine, joins us during these cold winter months to discuss some of the moments that warm his heart. He shares stories about one of his favorite holiday meals, ice-fishing, his Acadian family origins, and traditions of song that span the generations. Happy holidays from all of us at Living on Earth!

In the Crimemas Volume I finale, Todd Hiles and Stewart Fillmore confront one of the most haunting and divisive crimes ever associated with the holiday season—the death of JonBenét Ramsey.On Christmas night, in a quiet Colorado home filled with decorations and anticipation, something went terribly wrong. What followed was not just a murder investigation, but decades of suspicion, missteps, and unanswered questions that would fracture public trust and permanently alter how America views crimes behind closed doors.This case became more than a tragedy—it became a mirror. Of media frenzy. Of investigative uncertainty. Of how quickly a moment meant for joy can descend into something unspeakable.With careful restraint and respect for the gravity of the case, Back in Crime examines the known facts, the enduring controversies, and the silence that still surrounds what happened that night.Some crimes never fade.Some questions never rest.And some Christmases are remembered for all the wrong reasons.Follow Texas Crime Travelers:TikTok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@texascrimetra...⁠Instagram: ⁠https://instagram.com/texascrimetrave...⁠Facebook: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/texascrimetr...⁠Substack: https://substack.com/@texascrimetravelershttps://texascrimetravelers.com/Have a specific case in mind that you'd like us to explore or just want to get in touch? Case Request/Contact Form: ⁠https://forms.gle/hynpjFrKEVvG6FWw9⁠For business inquiries or opportunities to sponsor our next podcast episode, please reach out to us at ⁠hello@texascrimetravelers.com Music used :  "JINGLE BELLS ." composed and produced by "Vivek Abhishek"Music link :  • [ No Copyright ] Jingle Bells ( Horror Ver...  SUBSCRIBE to him on YOUTUBE:    / vivekhsihba  Follow on Facebook : https://bit.ly/33RWRtPFollow on Instagram : https://bit.ly/2ImU2JV#JonBenetRamsey #TrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #ChristmasCrime #HolidayCrime #Crimemas #DarkChristmas #UnsolvedMysteries #ColdCase #BackInCrime #CrimePodcast #TrueCrimeCommunity #HiddenHistory #DisturbingHistory #FBI #FBIFiles #LawEnforcementHistory #TrueCrimeYouTube #YouTubePodcast #PodcastShorts #TrueCrimeShorts #YTShorts

This is Kiera and Merry Christmas. I hope that you guys are so happy and I don't know, I feel so honored that you're sharing Christmas Day with me. I hope that you unwrapped your packages. I hope that you were able to give amazing gifts. I hope that you were not naughty this year and you were nice. I hope that like, my gosh, like I just wish that I was with you like walking down the stairs to your Christmas morning. I hope that you were with your friends, your family. And if you don't celebrate Christmas, I hope that you woke up today just feeling the special magic.   of this time of year of anticipating our next year. And I just hope that you're surrounded by friends and family and that you just feel love. I hope you feel love for yourself and just Merry Christmas. I am so, I love this time of year. I love this holiday and I did not used to love this holiday. It was my favorite growing up. And then there was a short stint of time where I hated it. Like no Christmas music, no things. I don't even know how that was possible because I was Mrs. Claus.   I worked for United Way of Utah County and I was Mrs. Claus for the year and we did Sub for Santa. And that was a year I realized that there is truly magic in our communities and in us serving each other. And gosh, I just like, I remember growing up like, yes, I loved presents and I love those things, but a lot of times it was just like my family being together and little things. And like in my family, had, when I was really, really little, we had these like dollars. don't know, they were called like.   I to say scholar dollars, but that wasn't right. They were these like little dollars that my mom gave us. And it was like little things that we did that were kind gestures to our siblings, like helping each other out. My family was lawn mowing business. And so we'd help each other with that. And growing up and getting older, I think, well, yes, it's so fun to have gifts for my siblings. The real gift that I look forward to, and I'm sure a lot of you can relate to this is   being with these people, being able to be present with them, being able to share special moments, to be able to share magic with them, that's what makes holidays magical. ⁓ And when I think about like this time of year, giving's not just about gifts, it's about like our presence. So not present, but presence, our impact, and how we're able to like show up for our families and for our teams and our practices. And so when I look at this, I just really think about like,   in the spirit of Christmas, the spirit of giving, in the spirit of that, like leadership and team culture are so important of gifts that you can give your team. And this is what can help you guys thrive. So of course, it's the holidays. I'll make this short and sweet for you ⁓ because I really want you to think about like when we're looking at our families and we're looking at today, being present with our family.   is one of the greatest gifts that we can give them. think of how many times are we scrolling on social media? How many times are we not present? I even think about me and Jason, like we're hanging out together and we are both knee deep in our phones. And I look up and like 45 minutes have passed by and I've been sitting by the person that I absolutely love. And the world is so obnoxiously annoying on asking for our time, asking for our attention. And I think that that's why we get so excited about holidays is we actually have this like   Dedicated shutoff time where we can be with our families and holidays sometimes actually bring out the worst in us I know two Christmases ago It was absolutely one of the worst days and I felt so annoyed because I had to slow down and I couldn't go anywhere and I couldn't call anybody because people with their families and I felt stuck and I felt trapped and I was like this is not a good thing Kiera you clearly are operating at such a high velocity all the time that you slowing down was actually one of your worst days and so I think when I look at like being present in life   I think being present for my team. How many times is my team talking to me and I'm slacking or I'm sending an email off or I'm not fully listening or I'm responding to a text message. I think the world today is craving people being present, of being intentional, of listening, of caring. And I think that that's like when my family gets together, yes, a gift is nice, but the gift of their time and attention is becoming more and more valuable because I think it's so hard to capture that from people. And also I think being present for yourself.   showing up for yourself every single day, having meditation time, having journal time. Like the world can be so loud. Things can be like, we have dinging things, reminders constantly that it's like being present, listening, showing up, engaged, engage with your team. I think about Britt, there's certain times that her and I would just like shoot the breeze and we're just hanging out with each other. And I'm like, those are more meaningful than our meetings. And we're just like trying to rattle things off and get things done.   And so I just think like, if we're giving a gift of presence, not present, how can you as a leader do that? And I think one of the biggest things that doctors can do is to actually be fully attentive in team meetings. ⁓ And for team members to be fully attentive in team meetings, I can't tell you how many times I watched teams and the doctors on their phone, they're not engaged. And I just think like, if you're asking your team to be here and you're asking them to solve problems, but we're not willing to be present,   Gosh, like that's just such a hard ask. And I think as leaders, that is your job to silence them, to be present, to be with the people in front of you and not to be distracted elsewhere. And I say team members to do the same. We've got to also have our minds be there. I could be completely checked out of my phone and Slack, but my mind could be elsewhere. And so how can I be fully attentive in my team meetings when I'm having conversations with people? And I will say like, doctors, this is like, Merry Christmas. Be present for your team.   ⁓ I watch often and I see doctors just scrolling on social media, even when I'm there having conversations with them. And I just think if you're willing to do that with me, that you're paying me to be here. ⁓ and that feels icky to me. How do think your team feels when they're coming to you as a leader, as someone that they're looking for, for support. And I just think for your family, the gift of like, even if it's like five seconds, even if you put the phone down, ⁓ even if you just like really commit to be there.   be there. ⁓ Another thing is like to pause during the day like a short connection. ⁓ It doesn't take a lot to be connected to people. It doesn't take a lot for you to just say hello to ask them like genuinely with no agenda, no time construction, not having your phone, not having your watch go off. Like even people is like, my watch like, hmm. Yep. huh. I'm listening. I'm like, you're not listening to me. I literally have my watch to where it will not have text messages come through at all. I use it specifically for a watch. If I need to later, I can have things pop in but   I shut off the notifications because it drives me nuts when I'm in a conversation and I'm having a conversation and they pull up their watch, they pull up their phone like, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh. No, it's not uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh. You're not listening to me. You're not present with me. So I think like today, practice being present with those around you. You might be Kiera who had like one of her worst Christmases a few years ago and it was awful, but I realized this is, I'm out of touch. I'm out of practice. I don't do this often.   And if we can train that muscle, gosh, what a gift it's for yourself, a gift for your team, a gift for your family to truly be present. ⁓ I also think another way for you to do it is to celebrate people in real time. So the reason why this is a gift of presence is because you have to be intentional. You have to be paying attention to them to celebrate them in real time. like look for it, look for when your assistant does like perfect handoffs to you, like.   They're handing the instruments and they're just crushing it. Celebrate that with them. Celebrate when someone closes the case for you. Celebrate when we fill this schedule hole. Celebrate when we like got that claim collected. Celebrate when like doctors, got that perfect endo, like you got all the way to the bottom of that root tip. Celebrate when you did a perfect crown prep. Celebrate and be present in that moment. Celebrate when patients tell you great things. Celebrate when we get an SRP diagnosis and we went from a bloody profie to an SRP and we told them what they really needed. Celebrate when our team   is like giving a great patient experience, celebrate when our team does a tour of the office and highlights how great of a place it is, celebrate when people edify each other, celebrate those little pieces in your life. This is such a fun, easy way, because I really do believe that we're just becoming a society that's not present. We're giving presence, but we're not present. ⁓ We're so distracted trying to be connected that   we're missing the people right in front of us. And I think about that. We have no social media Sundays in our house. And Jason and I are shocked at how many times we like go to the app on that day. And it's just a habit. It's like these habits that have been formed. And so I think like, can you be attentive in team meetings? Can you be just connected at little points, like busy times throughout the day and just pause and connect? Can you connect with your spouse or your kids? Text them, send out little magic moments to them every day. Like,   Tell them how much you love them. I will tell you like, shout out to Jace, he's such an incredible man. He's like my greatest gift in this world. Every day he texts me three reasons he loves me. And ⁓ sometimes I don't read those with intentionality. I just think, Kiera, he sat there and thought about you. The least you can do is just be like so present and say thank you. ⁓ To give that gift to me every single day is beyond magical. To send a little love bomb, you could even do it in the morning. It can be part of your morning routine of like,   I meditate and then I send out magic to somebody and just tell them how much you love them to be present, to be connected to somebody truly connected, to pick up the phone. My brother calls me and I think about how often am I distracted while I'm on the phone with my siblings rather than being present and intentional with them. Jason tells me he'll take five minutes of me being intentional rather than 30 minutes of me being distracted. And I just think like, a gift we can give each other to not just give presents this year.   but give our presence. And on our team meeting, say that like passion, present, results, solutions are four things we say in our company. We want to show up with passion. We want to be present. And that means we show up with the people in front of us, email, Slack, text, phones are closed. And I'm not here to say that we have to be perfect at it, but I am here to say that today of all days, I hope you take time to go be present with your family, present with the people in front of you, and to maybe give a little bit more of that gift of presence to your team this year.   Be attentive in team meetings, be connected during busy times, celebrate the small wins with your team. And I will tell you that, and this means like being at morning huddle, being connected and doctors who do this have higher morale, have stronger retention of teams because they feel cared about. They feel seen, they feel heard, they feel like they're a human. So I'm telling you that's five minutes of your time that you are giving up to get this huge outcome. You're gonna have stronger relationships. You're gonna have better relationships with your kids, better relationships with your spouse, parents, siblings.   aunts, uncles, neighbors, and I think it's a gift to give. And I think it's something for all of us to do. So I would just say like today, give someone your full attention, no phone, no distractions for five minutes. See if you can do it. And then maybe work up to 10 minutes and just try it and just see. And also for yourself, sit there in silence for five minutes. See if you can do it. Sit there for 10 minutes. See if you can start to train yourself that your, your preferred operating system, unlike mine a few years ago,   is to be present rather than to be distracted feeling like I am present. And I would just say that's I think a gift for all of you. And so today is Christmas. I hope that you're celebrating with family. I hope that you love yourself. I hope that you give yourself the gift of presence to be present for yourself, to shut off, to disconnect, connect to yourself, to connect to ⁓ the universe, to God, to your higher self, to the space around you, whatever you believe today that you really truly do.   Give that great gift to yourself and to those that you love, including your team. You guys, we are so blessed to be alive today. We're so blessed to have experiences. I'm so blessed to have all of you in my life, my Dental A Team family. Gosh, I just like want to celebrate you. I want to be there with you. I want to drink, you know, non-alcoholic eggnog with you. I want to be like, cheersing you on the great things you're doing. I want to be present with you. I want to listen to your struggles. I want to listen to your wins.   I want you to be a part of our community. I want to see you the first Tuesday of every single month. I want to meet you in person. I want to be that cheering cheerleader for you. I want you to see what it feels like to have somebody see you, to know you, to recognize you, to love you, to encourage you, to give you a good like push when you need a push to hold you accountable. That's our gift to you. So if that feels good to you, reach out. Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. I am not working today, but I will be working tomorrow and our team will be there for you.   So reach out. know this is a time where you guys settle down. You are more present. You're not busy with patients. You have time to connect to yourself, to connect to your family. And I think, hey, maybe giving yourself the gift of time to get a team that's trained a little bit better, to get a patient experience that's a little bit better, to help you be a CEO instead of an operator all day long, every single day. It might be the time. You might be able to settle into that and to be present, to give yourself even more time back. be a gift to give yourself. So if that feels right to you, reach out. Hello@TheDentalATeam.com.   I'd love to chat more with you about it. And I hope you just go celebrate with your family. No, I'm like sitting there with you, drinking the eggnog, sitting there, chestnuts roasting on an open fire, hanging out with you at the beach, wherever you are. Just know that I'm giving you a giant hug. You're doing better than you think you are. I adore you. I love you. I'm here with you. You don't have to do this alone. And I'm happy to be the person to guide you. I'm also happy to be your friend on the podcast that walks with you every single day. But just know you're not alone. You're doing better than you think you are.   and I'm willing to give you the presence that you deserve. And I hope that you give that to those that you love as well. And as always, thanks for listening. Go have a magical, merry day, and I'll catch you next time on the Dental A Team Podcast.  

This episode revisits General Hospital Christmases from 2019–2024, spotlighting the moments that mixed holiday tradition with classic Port Charles storytelling. It begins in 2019 at the General Hospital Christmas party, where Monica reads 'Twas the Night Before Christmas before the night transforms into A Christmas Carol—with Finn as Scrooge, forced to see Christmas through the eyes of a new father. That year also delivers warm community moments at Rice Plaza with Curtis as Santa and a Christmas reunion when Sam is released and brought home to her family.The middle years, 2020 and 2021, lean quieter and more reflective. Families try to keep Christmas steady while bigger storylines unfold, and the hospital remains the emotional center of the season with Kevin Collins as Santa, Lucy organizing the pediatric celebration, and Martin Gray bringing gifts to elderly patients—small moments that keep the holiday spirit grounded.The later stretch blends nostalgia and escalation. 2022 brings the Gingerbread Jam, Esme's improvised tower Christmas tree, and Trina's ornament honoring Rory. 2023 returns to familiar warmth with Curtis, Marshall, and Trina Christmas tree shopping, Quartermaine decorating chaos, Chase and Brook Lynn's engagement, and a Christmas Eve hospital gathering that quietly marks Monica Quartermaine's final holiday scenes, before 2024 teases both heart and shock, including Lucky and Elizabeth decorating together and his serenade of “Elizabeth.”#luckyspencer #lizwebber #generalhospitalhistory #twasthenightbeforechristmas #ebenezerscrooge #achristmascarol #monicaquartermaine #GeneralHospital #GH #GHHistory #ChristmasTraditions #HolidayVibes #GHThrowback #SoapOperaPodcast #ChristmasEpisode #GeneralHospitalPodcast This podcast is not endorsed by, directly affiliated with, maintained, authorized, or sponsored by ABC Television Network, Prospect Studios, or any official General Hospital organizations.

This episode is Part 1 of Christmases of Port Charles Past, covering 1963–2018, and highlights the holiday moments that shaped General Hospital Christmases across decades. Rather than a full recap, we focus on the traditions that became the heart of the show — especially the General Hospital pediatric Christmas celebration and the beloved ritual of Dr. Steve Hardy reading the Christmas story, which returns year after year as a symbol of stability and community. We also revisit classic Quartermaine Christmases, complete with the iconic tree and electric train, where family warmth and tension often went hand in hand.Along the way, we call out specific nostalgic milestones fans will recognize instantly: Luke and Laura's Christmas moments, from exchanging gifts by the tree to Luke returning in time to place the angel atop the Spencer family tree; the Gift of the Magi–style Christmas with Grant and Celia; BJ's handmade card and Frisco doting on Robin; and the unforgettable Christmas tree lot episode where Sonny unexpectedly saves Christmas Eve. We also note a fun Port Charles pattern — how often Christmas comes with an engagement ring.As the years move closer to the modern era, we tease later standouts without giving everything away, including Liz's music-themed gift to Lucky, David Koz performing during hospital Christmas episodes, Luke's Christmas Carol–inspired “Scrooge” episode, and the year Krampus replaced the traditional Christmas story. Part 1 wraps in 2018, setting the stage for Part 2, which will continue the timeline from 2019–2024.This podcast is not endorsed by, directly affiliated with, maintained, authorized, or sponsored by ABC Television Network, Prospect Studios, or any official General Hospital organizations.

On this Christmas Eve many families gather around to watch their favorite holiday movies, but in Amy and T.J. home, it’s a dilemma. And up until now, neither one had actually sat down and watched the other’s favorite movie. This week, they took the time to watch both films together, and have a spirited debate about whether either or both should remain a holiday classic for the Christmases to come.

This week, they took the time to watch both films together, and have a spirited debate about whether either or both should remain a holiday classic for the Christmases to come.

It's the most wonderful time of the year—when you're permitted (and strongly encouraged) to sip eggnog and pretend you forgot that embarrassing childhood performance of “Jingle Bells” on your parents' camcorder. But guess what? We didn't forget. And we're bringing you something just as classic and cringey—a rerun from three Christmases ago! Join us as we sleigh-ride back in time to an episode packed with questionable decisions and awkward outcomes, like what happens when you attempt to steal a trailer, but you're not too bright or why we should never fiddle about with the weather. It's our Christmas gift to you—and the best part? You can re-gift it guilt-free to your friends, family, or that random coworker who keeps forwarding you cat memes. So, don your ugly sweater, grab a candy cane (or something much stronger), and tune in for a holly-jolly re-gifted serving of The Shallow End. No matter how you celebrate, at least you'll have this greatest hit to amuse you while Uncle Gary attempts his 47th retelling of “The Night Before Christmas.” Merry Reruns!

Comedian, entrepreneur, and cultural favorite KevOnStage sits down with hosts Deborah Joy Winans Williams and MAJOR. for a wildly funny and surprisingly heartfelt holiday conversation on Choosing Joy for the Holidays. From broke-era Christmases to the infamous Batman-without-the-Batman gift, Kev shares stories that shaped his childhood — and why those moments still make him laugh today. Kev opens up about what the holidays were like growing up with very little, including years when presents were missing, sweaters were the wrong size, and his grandmother still made it all feel meaningful. He reflects on how becoming a father shifted everything, including why he eventually stopped giving his kids mountains of gifts and instead started taking annual Christmas trips around the world — this year, all the way to Japan. As a comedian who happens to be a Christian (and not the other way around), Kev breaks down how he navigates faith, comedy, and community without letting labels box him in. He shares outrageous stories about church life, roasting from the pews, and learning not to fear disappointing people — because, as he says, “I disappoint myself every day.” The episode closes with a rapid-fire holiday game featuring eggnog, NBA basketball vs. Christmas service, the best version of “This Christmas,” and which family member is absolutely spiking the eggnog. A hysterical, warm, relatable, culturally rich episode — everything Holiday AF was built for.Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/choosing-joy/id1826833726Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechoosingjoypodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@choosingjoythepodcastGo Premium: https://www.theblackguywhotips.com/premium/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The holidays are here. And if you're struggling with an eating disorder, you know exactly what that means—anxiety, overwhelm, and missing the magic happening right in front of you because you're stuck in your head, counting, calculating, and controlling. But what if this year could be different? In this fan fav, I'm getting real about how the eating disorder literally steals decades of precious moments from your life. How many Christmases have you missed because you were trapped in those ED thoughts? How many family gatherings have you sat through physically present but mentally a million miles away? Here's the truth: The present moment is your present. And it's time to stop letting your eating disorder be the Grinch that steals your holiday joy. I'm sharing a powerful realization I had while standing in line with my boys to see Santa—how they were fully immersed in the magic while everyone else (myself included) was rushing, stressing, and missing it. And it reminded me: recovery happens in the NOW. Not in the past with regrets. Not in the future with anxiety. Right here. Right now. In this episode, you'll discover: Why the eating disorder wants to pull you out of the present moment (and how to fight back) The shocking statistics about anxiety during the holidays (and why being present is actually a recovery tool) How 89% of individuals who practice mindfulness during recovery report better outcomes 3 practical ways to choose presence over perfection this holiday season Why your recovery is the most magical gift you can give yourself How to focus on connections over calculations at family gatherings If you're tired of missing the magic. If you're done letting your ED steal another Christmas. If you're ready to be HERE for the moments that matter—this episode is your holiday recovery guide. The present is your present, sis. Let's unwrap it together. KEY QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE

This week on The Nikki & Brie Show, the twins are toasting to the season with a Curious Convos: Holiday Edition—and they've got festive wine in hand and big questions on their minds. From ugly Christmas sweaters to emotional holiday songs, Nikki and Brie explore why this time of year hits so deep. Is it the music? The memories? Or maybe even a little bit of soul-level faith? They reflect on their childhood Christmases, wonder why the season always flies by, and debate whether December niceness is genuine or just peppermint-scented fakery.In classic Curious Convos fashion, it's not all deep talk—there's plenty of fun too. Nikki reads wild headlines about herself and Brie asks the hard-hitting questions like: “How dramatic was Nikki really last Christmas?” They also dig into the traditions they love, the chaos of holiday shopping, and the warm magic of shared meals. Oh—and don't miss their hilarious Holiday Red Flag or Green Flag game, judging the new guy your cousin brings to dinner.As always, they close with a heartfelt reminder: the little moments matter. Whether it's a text, a call, or a cozy cocoa catch-up, reach out to someone who might need it this season. Now pour a glass, get curious, and press play!
