0:00.0 | Welcome to the feminine podcast. This is Nancy Wilson. Thanks so much for joining me today. |
0:11.0 | We are down to the final Christmas crunch time, ladies, and I hope you're |
0:17.2 | ready for game time. I'm getting there. But I believe with Christmas |
0:21.6 | preparations, there's always more we could do, right? And it's always best to just stop somewhere. |
0:28.0 | So it seems timely to talk about Christmas contentment. |
