What’s it like to be mixed when it comes to celebrating the holidays?

In this episode we share our own stories about the joys, challenges, and quirks of our diverse holiday experiences. We talk about how it feels to live away from our families and explore the unique experiences that come from navigating the festive season within our own interracial and intercultural marriages, and how these blend into our holiday traditions.

We also discuss the often unspoken aspect of holidays - the pressure to conform to societal norms and the reality that sometimes, Christmas just isn't the joyous barrel of laughs that it’s made out to be. Whether our holidays are tinged with sadness, stress, or unconventional fun, we embrace it all.

Annnnnnd you can join our conversation! Next week, we'll be featuring some of the stories and experiences of our listeners. What do the holiday celebrations look like in your household? Do you have a unique holiday tale or tradition that you’d like to share? If you haven’t already then send us a voice message in an email to mixunderstoodpod@gmail.com, or leave us a voicemail at (424) 272-1089. We're so excited to hear how you celebrate your holidays in your own special way!
