Probably shouldn't listen WITH your children...ask for headphones for Christmas so you can listen while you cook, wrap, drive, bake, eat or while you do anything:)
I first share where I've been and what I have been doing on this accidental 3 month hiatus...and then...talk about how it's almost that time!!! Christmas and the holiday season is such a fun time for children and parents and many people love it.  It's also okay if you don't love it! 
On this episode, I share some of the things that I would have liked to hear during my first Christmases as a parent...some of the mistakes I made in over doing it, or putting my energy and attention into things that I now wouldn't bother with.  At the end, I give some of my tools for remaining the parent I want to be during this time of year (or any extra busy or stressful time, really).  If you like mindfulness you will like this part:) I also share some of my mediocre, but enough ideas for that damn elf on the shelf ;)
Here are some better ideas than mine if you are interested:
