The Hello everybody welcome to the minimalist podcast we discuss what it means to live a meaningful life with less.

My name is Joshua Fields Milburn.

Merry Christmas T.K. Coleman.

It's the best time of the year.

Thanks for joining me. I've always been here.

And that beautiful Christmas laugh you hear in the background. That is Malabama.

Hi everybody. We've got the rest of our team in the studio. Nickadimus will be joining us next week for our New Year's Day episode.

But coming up today on this free public minimal episode,

a caller has a question about letting go of seasonal

decorations. If you're watching the video version of the podcast, you'll see we've got

a lot of seasonal decorations sort of hanging out in the studio.

Malabam was here all night last night, wrapping presents and,

man, we got to get rid of some of these.

I can't wait to unwrap them later. We've also got another listener has a question about opting out of consumer culture,

specifically the consumer culture here in Los Angeles.

Then we've got our lightning round segment of Fams question

and a listener tip for you.

You can check out the full two hour Maximal Edition

of episode 423, where we answer five times the questions,

and we dive deep into several simple living segments.

That private podcast episode is out right now

at patreon.com slash the minimalist.
