You're listening to Pantsu Politics,

where we take a different approach to the news.

Thank you so much for joining us today.

This is the last week before everyone at Pantsuit Politics takes time off to be with our families for the holidays. And we wanted to spend this week looking both backward and forward. Today, we're going to ask what 2024 has taught us and not to bury the lead. It's been a weird year that has prompted a lot of reexamination for us. Outside of politics, we are going to talk about what hosting open houses

has taught us and how we're thinking about hospitality and the importance of being with other

people in 2025.

Before we begin, we wanted to remind you that a cameo from us is a great gift to the pantsuit

politics listener in your life. We love making these short, personalized videos for you all. And we do them for

everything. Graduations, Christmas, birthdays. My favorite is when people just buy themselves

a pep talk when they're just like, I need you to encourage me. And I love making those.

We also got to do a Bon Voyage recently, which was very fun and an engagement.

They're all the best.

They're all the best.

Now, if you want to order one of those and have it before the end of the year, though,

the deadline is this Thursday, December 19th.

Because as much as we like making them, I don't want to be making one like after the Christmas pageant on Christmas Eve. So Thursday, December 19th, if you want a cameo before the end of the

year. And another great option for gifting is a subscription to our substack premium community. You can

buy that on December 24th. That'll just happen automatically and we'll be there in minutes for the

person you love. So you can find the link for our substack community and for our cameo page and all of our other
