Christmas Episode — Making Magic, Managing Chaos & Letting Go of Perfect
Description
In this holiday episode, Chelsea and Becca jump into all things Christmas — the magic, the chaos, the mom-pressure, and the funny (and painful) realities of gift-giving. From husbands who have zero clue what's under the tree, to advent calendar fails, to kids who don’t care about Christmas outings the way moms dream they will, this episode is equal parts hilarious and relatable.
They unpack childhood nostalgia vs. “mom Christmas,” why we’re all terrified of disappointing our kids, and the emotional punch of realizing these chaotic seasons won’t last forever.
Plus — 3D printers, Elf on the Shelf bonding moments, staying in hotels to watch Home Alone, wrapping-rule culture shock, and some very questionable international holiday traditions (yes, including the pooping log 🤣).
Whether your house is calm, chaotic, or you’re just trying to get gifts wrapped on time, this episode reminds you: be present, enjoy the messy moments, and let yourself off the hook.
