| 0:00.0 | Hey there, Jen here, and this is a happy bit. Thanksgiving is over here in the U.S., and that means the |
| 0:06.4 | holidays are in full swing. And I have a little challenge for you today. Write down everything you need to do |
| 0:12.9 | from now until January 1st. Get it onto one sheet of paper and then cross off half of it. Let it go. |
| 0:20.1 | You don't need to send cards if you can post a picture on |
| 0:22.6 | Facebook. You don't need to buy gifts for everyone when you can send them a nice email. Just figure out a way |
| 0:29.0 | to send them some love. Maybe you even do it in your morning meditation. You just send them the energy of |
| 0:33.7 | love and let them know you were thinking of them. I want to tell you a little bit about |
| 0:38.5 | how I'll be celebrating the holidays. We celebrate Christmas. I know many of you celebrate Hanukkah, |
| 0:43.8 | Kwanza, Ramadan. All of these have amazing traditions behind them. And it's important for me to |

| 1:01.3 | going to be making cookie plates, except one. And we take this one cookie plate to family |

| 1:13.7 | through the streets to knock on the door and hiding in all the neighboring bushes as we deliver |
| 1:19.2 | this cookie plate. So much fun. So we love that tradition. We always watch elf at Christmas time. |
| 1:26.7 | We love Buddy the elf, especially the scene where Santaf at Christmas time. We love Buddy the Elf, especially the scene where |
| 1:29.3 | Santa arrives at the department store and he jumps up and down screaming, Santa. It's the best |
| 1:35.9 | and it cracks us up every time. As far as treats, we don't do a lot. We do make Danish |
| 1:41.2 | ebbelskivers, which is a tradition my great grandmother brought from Denmark. |
| 1:46.8 | I remember making them with my own grandmother who has passed, so it's fun to think of her every time. |
| 1:52.3 | And this was a tradition she did every single year. |
| 1:56.7 | Ebleskivers are what you have at Christmas. |
