The holidays can feel like a spotlight—on joy, on pressure, on loss. We open up about why Christmas sits at the heart of our family story, from the years when money was scarce and we re-wrapped forgotten toys, to the seasons when we could adopt wish tags and bless other families. Along the way we laugh about tiny trees and tall chairs, but we keep returning to the reason we celebrate: the birth of Jesus and the love that turns ordinary days into holy moments.

We swap favorite memories—barbecue Christmas dinners, snacks on Christmas Eve, Elf on repeat—and talk about how a blended family learns to make space for everyone. Traditions are anchors, not obligations, and presence beats perfection every time. If the season feels heavy, you’re not alone. We share how grief and gratitude can live together, how prayer steadies shaky ground, and why joy is a choice you can make even when happiness is out of reach.

You’ll hear practical ways to “be the gift”: offer a smile, push a cart, check on a neighbor, invite someone to a candlelight service, or simply sit and listen. Keep the main thing the main thing—faith, family, and a table with room for one more. If you need someone to talk with or to pray for you, reach out to us on social media. If this conversation encouraged you, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review to help others find hope this Christmas.
