Christmas Traditions: What We Keep, What We Change & What Matters Most
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Christmas traditions can be magical… but they can also feel overwhelming when life is busy and expectations are high. In this episode, I’m sharing the traditions Micah and I grew up with, the ones we’ve carried into our home as parents of seven, and the ones we’ve gently let go of as the seasons of our family have changed.
From becoming a mom on Christmas morning, to the cozy rhythms we’ve added over the years — sugar cookies, Christmas puzzles, Playmobil nativity storytelling, and the chaos of seven stockings — this conversation is full of heart, nostalgia, and permission to create a Christmas that works for your family, not against it.
I’ll also share:
✨ Our favourite Christmas morning routines
✨ The traditions that bring our home the most joy
✨ The ones we’ve outgrown — guilt-free
✨ My morning Advent devotional rhythm
✨ And encouragement for moms who feel overwhelmed by December
Whether your holiday season feels magical, messy, or a mix of both, I hope this episode reminds you that you don’t have to do it all — you just get to do what matters.
