Summary

This week on Sheena Interrupted, we’re officially in holiday mode…and realizing the holidays don’t hit the same anymore. The kids are older, the elf has become quite lazy, and for the first time ever… Christmas is quiet. Like stay-home, no-chaos, silent night kind of quiet.

TRID and I unpack the unspoken rules of holiday survival, the 72-hour limit on family visits, and what happens when traditions shift because everyone’s grown up (even though, according to him, I haven’t changed since 1995). It's a little emotional, and a whole lot of funny!
