This episode of Undistracted is brought to you by our sponsor, Chambord, an all-natural natural raspberry liqueur produced in the Loire Valley of France.

I'm glad to say that while 2020 has taught us so many important lessons that we have almost

survived it. And so I'm starting to

think about the year ahead. My holiday celebrations will be toasting to all of

the positive things in the near future, like new beginnings, whether it's a birthday, a holiday, the start of a new year,

a new month, or frankly just a new day, every single day is a chance to get it more right and a chance to take

better care of ourselves and the folks we love.

Join me for a second in toasting someone or something that you are excited about.

And if you're looking for an easy to make drink to use for those upcoming virtual holiday

toasts, a Shambord Royal only requires two ingredients, Shambord and Champagne.

So go wherever you buy your spirits or head to drizzly.com and check out

Schombord's gift set which includes the ingredients for a Schombord Royal.

Please drink responsibly. Hey y'all it's Brittany. I saw someone on Twitter talk about how they rebranded American Thanksgiving in their home to be

friends and family day. They focused on teaching their children the holiday's true history

and turned it into a chance to learn about

indigenous communities and really focus on gratitude. I love this idea and I'm

gonna have to like figure out who to credit for it when I use it with my future children because I absolutely will.

But for now, let's use it together. Happy Friends and Family Day, everyone.

And Friends and Family Day is a complicated one this year.

The holidays are already hard for a lot of us and it's even harder during a pandemic.

We miss those we've lost and many families can't afford to put much food on the

table and this is a time when we're craving more connection, not less. Like some of you, I tried to get created this year.
