<v Speaker 5>Yes, Mary merriment, I'm glad we have it. We need it.

0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:03.040
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, Smith's still be Christmas for you if you were

0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:05.559
<v Speaker 6>in a place like Jamaica where it was very warm

0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:06.760
<v Speaker 6>and tropical and sunny.

0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:11.880
<v Speaker 5>Yes, I think so, Yeah, I mean I do really

0:01:12.440 --> 0:01:15.720
<v Speaker 5>so much of Christmas is about the ambiance and the

0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:19.720
<v Speaker 5>evergreen trees and all of the cold coziness. I think

0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:23.880
<v Speaker 5>because I feel permission to relax when it's cold outside,

0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:26.800
<v Speaker 5>Like the weather gives me permission to relax. And if

0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:29.440
<v Speaker 5>I'm out in the sun, I feel this immense pressure

0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:31.080
<v Speaker 5>to accomplish things and get things done.

0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:31.520
<v Speaker 4>But I don't know.

0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:33.800
<v Speaker 5>If I'm in Jamaica, then I'm kind of on vacation.

0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:36.840
<v Speaker 5>I would be, but you know, so I don't know.

0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:40.000
<v Speaker 5>I don't know. I guess, So what about you, Rob?

0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:42.440
<v Speaker 6>I grew up in southern California, so all I ever

0:01:42.520 --> 0:01:45.280
<v Speaker 6>had were sunny Christmases, so it would still be Christmas.

0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:47.119
<v Speaker 6>But I got to say, now here in Portland, where

0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:51.000
<v Speaker 6>we actually have seasons, can we have a proper winter? Man?

0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:52.880
<v Speaker 6>That's it's kind of next level when you wake up

0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:55.000
<v Speaker 6>the house like snow on the ground, because I'm this

0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:57.120
<v Speaker 6>huge joy as soon as the weather, as soon as

0:01:57.120 --> 0:01:59.680
<v Speaker 6>it's raining. I feel like it's God's way of going, Hey,

0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:02.920
<v Speaker 6>take the day off, not being productive, just relax.

0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:05.520
<v Speaker 3>Why don't you sit at home and be cozy and

0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:10.520
<v Speaker 3>make a stew. Yeah, there really is something nice about

0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:16.840
<v Speaker 3>the cold in that way. I'm doing my first East

0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:19.880
<v Speaker 3>Coast Christmas in a couple of years. I actually I

0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:23.640
<v Speaker 3>brought my parents to New York for Christmas in twenty nineteen,

0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:25.840
<v Speaker 3>you know, thinking we were going to go into twenty

0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:28.840
<v Speaker 3>twenty and have this great year. All we got locked

0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:31.840
<v Speaker 3>in our homes. But we had this really beautiful city

0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:33.880
<v Speaker 3>Christmas and we went to plays and we did all

0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:37.560
<v Speaker 3>these things. But it didn't snow, and so I don't know,

0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:40.640
<v Speaker 3>it feels nice to be kind of getting this cold,

0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:42.040
<v Speaker 3>woodsy moment.

0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:45.760
<v Speaker 5>Yes, yeah, you guys. So are you guys going to

0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:48.880
<v Speaker 5>continue that through the holidays? You're just going to stay there.

0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:51.680
<v Speaker 5>Robert eustaing in Portland too, Are you guys going to talk?

0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:54.760
<v Speaker 6>Oh yeah, yeah, No, traveling with a four month old

0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:59.360
<v Speaker 6>sounds terrible. No, we will be here, and it's been great.

0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:01.640
<v Speaker 6>We've just been and having fun with the kids. And

0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:04.840
<v Speaker 6>then Jenny has been baking up a storm, which is

0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:10.960
<v Speaker 6>equal parts incredible and difficult. Because I have the self

0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:12.960
<v Speaker 6>control of a dog. I will eat the food you

0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:15.120
<v Speaker 6>put in front of me until I hurt my body,

0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:18.080
<v Speaker 6>like I got a stomach ache. And she recently made

0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:21.560
<v Speaker 6>a just a monster batch of rice crispy treats. And

0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:28.920
<v Speaker 6>are you familiar with muddy buddies. Oh yes, what'sy so, buddy, buddy,

0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:31.200
<v Speaker 6>let me walk you through with a muddy.

0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:32.120
<v Speaker 4>Jenny Jersey girl.

0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:33.240
<v Speaker 5>How does she know about money?

0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:35.640
<v Speaker 6>She's an organ girl, but she's just a wizard in

0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:40.720
<v Speaker 6>the kitchen. So it's when you take checks the cereal. Well,

0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:42.440
<v Speaker 6>let's put those of the side first. What we're gonna

0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:45.000
<v Speaker 6>do is we're gonna get some chocolate and we're gonna

0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:47.480
<v Speaker 6>melt it down, and then we're gonna toss some peanut

0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:50.280
<v Speaker 6>butter in that party, mix it and melt it down,

0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:54.240
<v Speaker 6>probably some butter, because why not. And then after that's

0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:58.960
<v Speaker 6>this like hot delicious concoction. You pour in checks mix

0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:02.560
<v Speaker 6>and you mix sit all around and then get this though,

0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:05.040
<v Speaker 6>here's where it gets real next level. So tell them

0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:07.400
<v Speaker 6>here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna take a big

0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:09.920
<v Speaker 6>old plastic bag. We're gonna dump a ton of powdered

0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:14.120
<v Speaker 6>sugar in, and then you pour the chocolate peanut butter

0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:17.120
<v Speaker 6>covered checks in and you shake it up. So it

0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:20.760
<v Speaker 6>is just like an insta cavity. But oh my gosh,

0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:22.880
<v Speaker 6>it's got the crunch, it's got the sweet, it's got

0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:26.520
<v Speaker 6>the salt. It's so good when I tell you like

0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:29.560
<v Speaker 6>I have hurt my body. I woke up yesterday and

0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:31.800
<v Speaker 6>my stomach wasn't right. Still isn't right, even though I

0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:35.039
<v Speaker 6>took the day off. Sweets. It's so good. I can't

0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:37.760
<v Speaker 6>help myself. You've got to get you some Muddy Buddies.

0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:40.000
<v Speaker 5>Insane. I don't. I do not like peanut butter and

0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:43.560
<v Speaker 5>chocolate together. And Muddy Buddies are the one exception to

0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:47.680
<v Speaker 5>the rule. I I am.

0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:50.520
<v Speaker 3>A person who would prefer to have another dinner for

0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:54.800
<v Speaker 3>dessert instead of a dessert for dessert. Like I'm such

0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:59.560
<v Speaker 3>a savory kind of gal that when I first got

0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:02.120
<v Speaker 3>back to the East Coast, i'd been in LA for

0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:06.040
<v Speaker 3>work and you know, some projects out there. And I

0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:09.640
<v Speaker 3>got home and walked in and Ash had made lasagna soup,

0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:13.040
<v Speaker 3>and I was like, this is the best thing I've

0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:14.320
<v Speaker 3>ever eaten in my life.

0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:15.120
<v Speaker 5>Even know what that is.

0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:18.440
<v Speaker 3>You guys, I will send you the recipe. I'm telling you,

0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:20.600
<v Speaker 3>I'm unwell.

0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:21.760
<v Speaker 4>It is so good.

0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:24.520
<v Speaker 3>And we ate dinner and then I looked at her

0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:27.360
<v Speaker 3>and I was like, I'm having another bowl of this

0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:31.080
<v Speaker 3>before a bit. This is I'm absolutely I don't need it.

0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:33.880
<v Speaker 3>I know there's dessert over there, but I don't care.

0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:36.560
<v Speaker 3>I don't care. I just want this, So I think

0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:42.200
<v Speaker 3>I need to venture into the world of the savory

0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:45.320
<v Speaker 3>the savory suite and it sounds like a muddy buddy.

0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:45.599
<v Speaker 1>Is that?

0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:47.239
<v Speaker 5>I think that's the answer.

0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:50.360
<v Speaker 6>There's also a recipe floating around right now that's popular

0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:53.480
<v Speaker 6>with I mean, first of all, rice krispytreats. I kind

0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:56.680
<v Speaker 6>of feel like it's the it's the wheel of desserts.

0:05:56.720 --> 0:05:59.240
<v Speaker 6>It was perfect from inception. Let's not try to make

0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:02.760
<v Speaker 6>it better. That said, there is a brown butter rice

0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:06.239
<v Speaker 6>crispy tree with pumpkin seeds and I think a little

0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:07.719
<v Speaker 6>bit of rosemar something.

0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:12.480
<v Speaker 3>What like a savory Yeah, boys for me.

0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:15.240
<v Speaker 5>On, yes, I want one of those two. Mail them

0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:17.000
<v Speaker 5>out to me. Uh huh.

0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:19.080
<v Speaker 3>If Jenny's got the recipe for that, please drop it

0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:19.840
<v Speaker 3>in the group chat.

0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:23.080
<v Speaker 5>Oh yes, please just or just she could just make

0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:25.200
<v Speaker 5>some and then just put them in a little rocks.

0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:26.880
<v Speaker 6>She has that kind of time.

0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:44.359
<v Speaker 7>Okay, Joey, what is your holiday go to?

0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:47.520
<v Speaker 6>Baked? Good or sweet? Doesn't it to be baked?

0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:54.760
<v Speaker 5>I guess yeah. I like meringue on on things like

0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:58.160
<v Speaker 5>little peppermint meringues or oh you know what, No, you

0:06:58.200 --> 0:07:00.560
<v Speaker 5>know what I really love? Oh this is This is

0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:04.760
<v Speaker 5>definitely my favorite, and it's from Trader Joe's. They're Feffernoos cookies.

0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:07.320
<v Speaker 5>I don't know if they're Dutch. I don't know what

0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:11.040
<v Speaker 5>the deal is, but they're called Feafernoose and it's maybe

0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:14.160
<v Speaker 5>has a I hate licorice. It's not a liquoricy, but

0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:16.920
<v Speaker 5>it's like a heavy on the clove. It's a very

0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:21.040
<v Speaker 5>Christmasy flavored cookie and sometimes they make it into a cake,

0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:24.800
<v Speaker 5>but it's also covered in powdered sugar. I would just

0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:26.600
<v Speaker 5>go to Trader Joe's and ask them for where the

0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:31.360
<v Speaker 5>Feafernoos cookies are. They're so I just love coffee and

0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:33.840
<v Speaker 5>a coffee and a cookie for the holidays. I'm not

0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:36.000
<v Speaker 5>a big I mean, I love the food, but I

0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:39.200
<v Speaker 5>love the savory food at the holidays, mostly because I

0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:40.760
<v Speaker 5>just don't eat a ton of desserts. I don't really

0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:44.760
<v Speaker 5>like cake or pie. It's just not my thing. What's yours?

0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:47.160
<v Speaker 6>Well, I'm actually kind of more like Sophia. If it's

0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:49.880
<v Speaker 6>a proper like dinner, and like if it's Thanksgiving and

0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:52.880
<v Speaker 6>there's pumpkin pie and pecan pie, I might just skip

0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:55.560
<v Speaker 6>those to do more dinner rolls and mashed potatoes.

0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:59.960
<v Speaker 5>Yes, just a dinner roll and some butter, some salted butter.

0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:01.240
<v Speaker 4>That's what I want.

0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:06.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I will say, though. My mom traditionally makes raspberry

0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:11.840
<v Speaker 3>pie for Christmas, and because I love sour things, over

0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:17.800
<v Speaker 3>the years, she's made her raspberry pie really tart. Oh, Mariene,

0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:21.560
<v Speaker 3>it is the kind of thing, Rob, We're much like you.

0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:24.240
<v Speaker 3>If if I'm left alone in the house with it,

0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:26.160
<v Speaker 3>good luck, it'll be got.

0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:27.720
<v Speaker 4>I will try to stop.

0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:31.040
<v Speaker 3>My dad and I now fight over them, and my

0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:33.559
<v Speaker 3>dad sometimes will be like, I hate it, just so

0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:36.160
<v Speaker 3>I can't finish it before him. And so now my

0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:39.400
<v Speaker 3>mom makes two, and she's like, you're like children. You

0:08:39.400 --> 0:08:40.440
<v Speaker 3>can each have one.

0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:44.000
<v Speaker 4>Don't touch. Don't touch each other's pie dish like it.

0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:46.200
<v Speaker 4>We're absurd, we're grown.

0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:49.920
<v Speaker 5>I don't whip cream or ice cream with no, no, no,

0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:50.840
<v Speaker 5>I don't want to touch it.

0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:53.560
<v Speaker 3>I'm a I'm very much a purist in that way, like,

0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:56.920
<v Speaker 3>don't mess up my my perfect dessert with vanilla ice cream.

0:08:56.960 --> 0:08:57.440
<v Speaker 5>I'm set.

0:08:57.559 --> 0:08:58.160
<v Speaker 4>I don't want it.

0:08:59.880 --> 0:09:02.640
<v Speaker 6>I love a crunch. I'm a big fan of a crunch,

0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:06.160
<v Speaker 6>just textually in anything really, But that's what I'm telling you.

0:09:06.160 --> 0:09:10.199
<v Speaker 6>These muddy buddies, they got that crunch. Oh my gosh.

0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:14.120
<v Speaker 3>Okay, So I have a question because it sounds as

0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:16.960
<v Speaker 3>though I know we're all home for the holidays, which

0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:21.040
<v Speaker 3>feels really nice. It sounds like perhaps our favorite part

0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:23.800
<v Speaker 3>of the holidays is the food. But is there something

0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:27.840
<v Speaker 3>else I'm missing? Is there a holiday tradition perhaps that

0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:31.439
<v Speaker 3>you love or are you making any new ones this year?

0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:36.760
<v Speaker 3>I ask only because I've started sort of gathering from

0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:39.680
<v Speaker 3>family all their favorite traditions. I don't know why I

0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:41.960
<v Speaker 3>got inspired to ask about it this year, but I

0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:44.720
<v Speaker 3>was like, what does everybody love to do the most?

0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:46.800
<v Speaker 3>And I want to know what you guys love to

0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:50.880
<v Speaker 3>do most tradition wise, and if there's something else that's

0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:53.040
<v Speaker 3>your favorite part other than the food, obviously tell me,

0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:53.720
<v Speaker 3>but I don't know.

0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:57.720
<v Speaker 6>Two, we went to a farm this year as a

0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:00.520
<v Speaker 6>family and actually like went into a f field of

0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:03.880
<v Speaker 6>trees and we found our Christmas tree. And then I

0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:05.640
<v Speaker 6>saw it down myself.

0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:09.520
<v Speaker 5>Oh, come on, you're a walking Hallmark movie. Get out

0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:09.840
<v Speaker 5>of here.

0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:13.520
<v Speaker 6>It was it was so cool, it was it was

0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:16.000
<v Speaker 6>I was I had a very cool, surreal moment where

0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:17.600
<v Speaker 6>I was like, I'm down on my hands and knees

0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:20.160
<v Speaker 6>sawing a Christmas tree, looking up at my wife and kids,

0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:22.840
<v Speaker 6>and I was like, this this is my life. Oh

0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:25.000
<v Speaker 6>my gosh, wow, we come a long way.

0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:26.840
<v Speaker 5>And the other.

0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:29.640
<v Speaker 6>Tradition is Jenny decided she's going to every Christmas morning

0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:35.880
<v Speaker 6>make cinnamon rolls, come scratch and buddies. She does it right,

0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:39.120
<v Speaker 6>So that'll be another like I will wake up happy

0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:42.400
<v Speaker 6>on Christmas morning and be in a small diabetic coma

0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:43.920
<v Speaker 6>by probably a leven.

0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:46.640
<v Speaker 4>How about you?

0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:46.960
<v Speaker 6>Joy?

0:10:47.120 --> 0:10:49.480
<v Speaker 5>Okay? So I went to the Goodwill and I found

0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:53.280
<v Speaker 5>this plate that had it was a drawing of Clark

0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:57.320
<v Speaker 5>Gable in Gone with the Wind, and I thought it

0:10:57.360 --> 0:10:59.199
<v Speaker 5>was really cool. So you know, it's one of those

0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:00.880
<v Speaker 5>decorative plates that goes on the wall, and you know,

0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:02.880
<v Speaker 5>of course the famous line is Frankly, my dear, I

0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:06.320
<v Speaker 5>don't give a damn well. I also happened to have

0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:11.760
<v Speaker 5>this box full of homemade ding dongs from a bake,

0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:14.720
<v Speaker 5>a local bakery where they do their like local version

0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:17.480
<v Speaker 5>of ding dongs, and I was like, oh, what could

0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:19.440
<v Speaker 5>I This would be kind of fun to incorporate this

0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:21.280
<v Speaker 5>plate and Christmas or it was a New Year's It

0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:23.000
<v Speaker 5>was a new Year's thing, like how are we going

0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:25.800
<v Speaker 5>to start the new year? And my sister was in

0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:28.840
<v Speaker 5>town and her kids and my parents, and so I

0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:31.680
<v Speaker 5>was like, let's and I had just the right amount

0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:33.560
<v Speaker 5>of ding dongs for everybody, and so I was like,

0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:35.600
<v Speaker 5>this would be kind of nice. We'll all take a

0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:38.240
<v Speaker 5>moment to pass the plate around. And if you if

0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:41.080
<v Speaker 5>you did something that hurt somebody's feelings in the year,

0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:42.920
<v Speaker 5>you just you didn't get a chance to apologize for

0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:45.240
<v Speaker 5>you pass the plate and you say, hey, I'm sorry

0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:47.480
<v Speaker 5>for being a ding dong, and the person you know

0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:49.439
<v Speaker 5>then says, frankly, my dear, I don't give it.

0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:50.160
<v Speaker 4>I don't give it time.

0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:53.760
<v Speaker 5>And then you just like let it go. So that

0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:56.440
<v Speaker 5>went over like a lead balloon. But I thought that

0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:57.520
<v Speaker 5>it would be really fun.

0:11:57.960 --> 0:11:58.480
<v Speaker 6>I would so.

0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:02.079
<v Speaker 5>What I mean, like, I don't know, maybe it was

0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:03.440
<v Speaker 5>the kids. The kids were just like and then they

0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:05.920
<v Speaker 5>weren't allowed to say damn. So I don't give a darn.

0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:09.040
<v Speaker 5>But I thought that was really cute anyway. So it's

0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:10.880
<v Speaker 5>a tradition. I still hold out hope for I have

0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:12.520
<v Speaker 5>the plate on the shelf. I just don't know that

0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:14.520
<v Speaker 5>I've been brave enough to bring it out again because

0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:17.400
<v Speaker 5>I know I don't want to get made fun of.

0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:18.640
<v Speaker 4>It's never too late.

0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:21.320
<v Speaker 5>I'm going to try. Maybe I'll just try again this year,

0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:23.000
<v Speaker 5>just see, you know, take a risk.

0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:26.560
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, so ding dongs happen?

0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:30.280
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, like what the heck? I also really love mulling spices,

0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:33.880
<v Speaker 5>and like Christmas sets in right around Thanksgiving, I start

0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:38.000
<v Speaker 5>putting those Williams Sonoma mulling spices on the stove and

0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:40.720
<v Speaker 5>it's just a pot simmering all day long, makes the

0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:44.480
<v Speaker 5>house smell amazing. That's one of my favorite things to

0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:44.839
<v Speaker 5>do too.

0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:47.040
<v Speaker 4>I love you well.

0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:49.880
<v Speaker 3>So a couple of years ago I actually got in

0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:54.880
<v Speaker 3>on said tart raspberry pie baking process with my mom,

0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:59.520
<v Speaker 3>and I really enjoy that. That's something I'd really like

0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:04.400
<v Speaker 3>to contin you. And then I was trying to think

0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:08.000
<v Speaker 3>last New Year's about great ways to mark the New Year,

0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:12.240
<v Speaker 3>and my best friend Kenny sends all of us this

0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:15.000
<v Speaker 3>booklet that is this thing that you sort of sit

0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:16.920
<v Speaker 3>with for a few days going into the new year

0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:21.040
<v Speaker 3>and fill out and it's so inspiring and it's also

0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:23.000
<v Speaker 3>such a pain in the ass because it takes like

0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:26.240
<v Speaker 3>three full days to do and I want to be

0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:29.079
<v Speaker 3>the person who has the time to do this, and

0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:33.480
<v Speaker 3>I'm often not, and so this year I have discovered

0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:38.760
<v Speaker 3>a cool way to do it more easily. Somebody last

0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:41.280
<v Speaker 3>year sent me an idea where everyone in the family

0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:43.240
<v Speaker 3>gets a jar and once a week you put something

0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:45.040
<v Speaker 3>great that happened to you that week in the jar.

0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:48.720
<v Speaker 3>It can be more often, but it's a minimum of

0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:50.880
<v Speaker 3>once a week, and you're supposed to look at them.

0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:53.520
<v Speaker 3>You start on New Year's Day, and then the next

0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:55.720
<v Speaker 3>year you read them on New Year's Day. But I

0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:59.320
<v Speaker 3>thought to myself, I actually want us to sit and

0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:05.200
<v Speaker 3>read these jars on Christmas, because that's great. Walking down

0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:09.400
<v Speaker 3>that kind of wonderful memory lane is a gift. And

0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:12.240
<v Speaker 3>then you get a whole week to kind of mull

0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:15.800
<v Speaker 3>over your year and then enter the new year in

0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:19.600
<v Speaker 3>so much gratitude for all the good things that have happened,

0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:24.600
<v Speaker 3>because you know, there's a lot that's really tough, but

0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:28.520
<v Speaker 3>why not put your energy toward being thankful for what

0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:33.200
<v Speaker 3>was beautiful. So that's my brand new tradition, And I think, yeah,

0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:35.880
<v Speaker 3>I think the holiday jar it's a jar of merriment

0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:36.480
<v Speaker 3>if you will.

0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:38.760
<v Speaker 4>Hey, the marriage jar and you.

0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:42.560
<v Speaker 5>Can have it out all year round. Yeah, sewing into it,

0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:45.160
<v Speaker 5>waiting for the day it arrives, when you get to

0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:46.640
<v Speaker 5>read it all. I love that.

0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:49.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think it's special.

0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:54.640
