Hi, welcome to Big Pat Positive with Shauna and Laura.

This is a very special holiday bonus episode where we talk about our plans for the holiday season and we've got a holiday gift guide for you, where we give suggestions for amazing holiday gifts for everyone from newborns, infants to toddlers to new parents, also including pregnant

people and people trying to conceive. Let's get started.

Hi, everyone. Welcome to the show. Hi, Shana. Hi. I'm really excited about our holiday bonus

episode. Yes. I think we should dive right in. I just want to know before we

start with our gift guide, which is really what this episode is about. Like, let's be real.

Every year, Christmas sneaks up on me. And I'm just like, wait a second, I have to get presents

for people. And I have no idea what to get. So with that in mind, we have tried to create a guide for you, right? So we

want to get to that. Yes. Yes. It's going to be awesome. I actually am very much looking forward to it

because I want to hear what you have to say, Shauna, because I know you've got great ideas.

Likewise. Same, same, same. But first, I want to know what your plans are for this kind of unusual holiday season that's upon us.

Yeah, it is unusual.

Usually we have big family gatherings, family comes into town, Thanksgiving, Christmas, you know, there's so much celebration and activities that we go out to and see lights and

et cetera. So things are a bit different this year, but just like every other holiday that's cropped up

since we went into quarantine, I'm like, got to make it amazing. And I'm just going to try to throw

all my ideas and joyful activities at these things. So I think I might get my

Christmas decorations out. I don't know. I don't want to say tomorrow because I think Steve might

kill me, but maybe like the day after Thanksgiving, just deck everything out, get extra stuff

for the house, you know, front yard. Kind of like I did with Halloween.

Like, I want to bring the celebration to our home so I can create that magic for the kids and

myself right here at home. That sounds really nice. Do you have a lot of preexisting decorations?

I do. I do. I've collected a lot of stuff over the years.
