It's the Simple Show. You've got episode 49.

Hi, I'm Tish Oxenwriter and on The Simple Show. We talk about books, travel, and life at home.

In this episode, I am joined by my co-host, Aaron Lachner. Hey, Aaron.

Hi, Tish. Hi, everybody.

Erin, tell us a little of who you are and what you do.

I am a mom and stylist living in the Midwest, and I write about

my life over at Design for Mankind.com. And I'm a writer and mom living in central Texas, and you can

find me online at the artisimple.net. This is a home episode. So in this one, we're going to talk

about these holidays, Advent, St. Nicholas Day and Christmas. And we are going to talk about these holidays, Advent, St. Nicholas Day, and Christmas.

And we are going to talk about forming holiday traditions for all ages and discovering,

sometimes rediscovering what truly works for your family.

Before we begin, this episode is supported through our very own Art of Simple gift guide.

Head to theartisanimple.net slash

gifts to see what we recommend this year for thoughtful, simple, and ethically sourced gifts for all ages on your list.

Okay. So, Aaron, it is officially the holiday season. I can't even believe it's time for that.

It's like this year wished by.

Oh my gosh. For real. This is insane. And so when this episode airs, it's going to be a few days into the season of Advent. It recently started. And I know, even though this is a really old, old tradition,

it's still kind of a foreign concept to a lot of us in the modern world.

Do you guys do Advent at all? You're going to find out we do a whole lot of nothing over Christmas.

So no, we are just kind of dipping our toes into it, which I'm so excited to talk to you about today,

because I want, I need some Christmas coaching, is what I'm saying. I don't know if you're talking

to the right person, but okay.
