0:00.0	Welcome to the Finding Joy in Your Home Podcast. I am your host, Jamie Valmay, and this is the podcast where we blend to deeply theological topics with thoroughly practical application, all for God's glory.
0:12.4	Hey, friends, welcome back to my podcast. Very excited to be with you today. We're going to be talking about our Christmas traditions and kind of just making things
0:22.8	special this month, which I'm very excited to dive in with you guys. We're going to hear from
0:28.4	two of our sponsors for today's episode. We have Care of and Hello Fresh. And this topic,
0:34.9	I'm excited because I was actually going to do this last week.

1:28.9	it's been an interesting couple of months. I mean, an interesting couple of weeks. I feel like
1:32.8	December is disappearing because of that. So we are really wanting to make the rest of December
1:39.3	special how we can. And even this week with a lot of sickness, we just kind of cuddled in more, watched a lot of
1:46.6	Christmas movies this week and tried to still make things special and enjoyable, even though we
1:52.7	actually missed several Christmas things we wanted to do. We missed a Christmas party. We missed a
