Hey, Grief Gang. It's your host and grief guru Jesse May. Welcome to Dying Laffings Holiday Survival Guide

Christmas Edition. Ho! Ho! Don't be such a ho this year. Look, if Christmas already has you

stressed, broke, emotionally fragile, and buying new things you absolutely do not need, congratulations.

You're killing it. You're doing it right.

This episode is not about making Christmas magical. It's about making it fun and weird.

Because in my heart, Christmas is already magical. I don't need to make it that way. And the pressure

to recreate perfect holidays, buy new stuff, and pretend everything is fine is freaking exhausting and

honestly unnecessary. So today we're talking about how to survive Christmas without spiraling,

overspending, or emotionally rage assembling decorations at midnight for all my last minute

honeies out there. We're breaking the rules, we're lowering expectations and finding joy that doesn't require

a gift receipt. And yes, my niece is in studio with me today, which means there will be honestly

chaos and at least one reminder that kids actually understand this holiday way better than

adults do. So if you're over the pressure and ready to make Christmas your own, let's get into it.

I hope you enjoyed this week's episode of D laughing. This episode's all about how to

survive Christmas. And my niece has co-produced. She actually wrote the intro for this episode, so it's super special.

So she has me saying, hey, everyone, it's Christmas time,

and I hope you guys have a good Christmas.

But that's not what we're talking about.

Today we're talking about how to survive Christmas

and have fun while we're doing it.

That's the whole point, because I feel like this chaotic holiday is hard to have

and enjoy when the world is blowing up. We're dealing with reading about cloud seeding.
