Summary

We are officially one week away from Christmas! This is a replay from a fun “date-night” style episode my husband Dave and I shared a few days before Christmas in 2023. Dave and I are passing along wisdom we have gleaned over 29 Christmases together, most with a house full of boys. You'll find some important “do’s” as well as a few “don’t”’s! Hopefully a few will be encouraging reminders and a few will make you laugh.

We imagine some of you might listen together with your spouse while wrapping gifts, running last-minute errands, or in front of the fire for a stay-in date night. (Of course you can listen all on your own as well. These principles will be helpful to everyone!)

0:53.5	Hey friends, welcome back to the podcast and Mele Kaliki Maka. I love to say that all month long
0:59.8	because I can. And I don't want to freak anyone out, including myself. But as this comes out,
1:07.8	we've got one week until Christmas. What?
1:12.1	Hello, are you ready?
1:13.7	I am sure that when this comes out, I will not feel ready, but someday, some year, I will actually
1:20.7	get my Christmas game on early.
1:24.4	But in the meantime, assuming you might be like me running around or baking or wrapping
