1
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: Hey guys, and welcome to Tommy Talk. And today's festive

2
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: episode is we need to talk about Christmas because is

3
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:12,040
Speaker 1: it the best time of the year. What do you

4
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 1: guys think. Let's unpack this a little bit. I love

5
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: the Christmas season. I feel like when Halloween passes, I

6
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 1: am ready. It's like, come on, decorations out tree goes

7
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 1: up the following weekend. Let's enjoy the season because one

8
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: month December alone it's not enough. It is not enough

9
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,520
Speaker 1: to celebrate Christmas. I need two months of Christmas because

10
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: that is how much I enjoy the holiday season. I

11
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 1: gravitate towards festive quite a bit, like, for example, when

12
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,959
Speaker 1: we go away in the wintertime, I quite often want

13
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 1: to feel like I am in a Christmas holiday Hallmark movie.

14
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 1: I really do. So. Last year we went to Park City,

15
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: and the reason why I chose park City is because

16
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: I wanted to feel the festive vibes. We went in

17
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: December and we did things like dogs slag through the

18
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: amazing snowy mountains, which was just unreal. And these dogs

19
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 1: love it. They love to run. It's their favorite thing

20
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: to do in the world. And it was like being

21
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: with a pack of wild wolves. It was so enchanting

22
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,119
Speaker 1: and magical. On that same trip, we did a sleigh ride.

23
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: We did a horse and carriage ride through these beautiful

24
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:26,479
Speaker 1: Christmas light displays on a cold winter night, with buffalo

25
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 1: checkered blankets over us and hot cocoa maybe spiked with

26
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: a little bit of whiskey to warm us up. But

27
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: it was so magical and so fun. We walked around

28
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: the cozy town that was all lit up so beautifully,

29
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,759
Speaker 1: there were light snowfalls. We want snow tubing like this

30
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: to me is quintessential holiday fun. I'm beaming thinking about

31
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: it because it is so magical to have a trip

32
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: like that, and I don't want a trip like that

33
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: anytime of a year besides a holiday season. So I

34
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: think that that's something a lot of people gravitate towards.

35
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: It's feeling like they're living these little holiday Hallmark movie

36
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: dreams out because why not. Why not? It feels magical,

37
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: And if we can find a little magic in everyday life,

38
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 1: I think it's really important. I think we need to

39
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: find the magic in everyday life, and the holidays gives

40
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: you an excuse to do that. During the year, we're

41
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: in our cycle of busy. There's work, there's family stuff,

42
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: there's friends stuff, there's personal stuff. Life happens, so you

43
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: don't always feel like you have the permission to stop

44
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: or slow down to enjoy magic, which we should do.

45
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 1: I'm trying to work on that more during the year.

46
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: But the holiday season it's welcomed, it's expected. It's like, no, no,

47
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: you will stop and enjoy the magic of this season.

48
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: And for that, I think that is one of the

49
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: most unbelievable things. It brings out also the sense of

50
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: our inner kid. And I don't know who doesn't like

51
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: to feel like they're inner kid once in a while. Again,

52
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: we don't allow ourselves to always feel that, but at

53
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: Christmas time, memories come back. They flog you. You think

54
00:02:55,919 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 1: about things that just remind you of simpler times, whether

55
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: it's a scent or a tradition or song. I mean,

56
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 1: there's so many things that trigger those memories that kind

57
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: of make you stop in your track and say, oh

58
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: my god. I feel the sense of warmth and coziness,

59
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: and I like it. I like feeling that I don't

60
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: always get to feel that. I want to hold onto

61
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 1: this moment a little longer because it is so nice

62
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 1: and it feels so special. So I think feeling like

63
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: our inner kid is such a wonderful thing. I love nostalgia.

64
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: If you've seen Inside Out too, there's a character called Nostalgia.

65
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: Who's this little old granny woman who pops in and

66
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: out of the movie like I don't know, four dimes

67
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: and Geoe and I joke that that's me. That is me.

68
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: I love nostalgia. I love memories. I don't live in

69
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: the past, but I like to reflect on the past,

70
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: and I just hold on to memories. So I love

71
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: that Christmas time does bring out the nostalgia. And whether

72
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: it's you know, smelling the fresh pine that brings you

73
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: back to a memory that makes you feel so special

74
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: and uplifted, or the food that comes out during the holidays,

75
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: or the fresh cookies. Oh my god, my aunt bakes

76
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: the most amazing cookies at Christmas time. In Italian rocatto cookie,

77
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: if you know, you know, makes me forever think of

78
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: Christmas and nostalgia. And if I don't have that during

79
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: the holiday season, I feel so off, like my equilibrium

80
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: is off. I need to have an Italian ricotta cookie

81
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: every single Christmas. And I'm sure there's some sort of

82
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: treat or dessert that you need to have every single Christmas.

83
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: But that's my baby. If I don't have that Italian

84
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: Ricotta cookie, I feel like the holidays are done, they're canceled.

85
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 1: They mean so much to me and it's just a cookie.

86
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: But my aunt pours so much love into that, and

87
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 1: it reflects the time in my life where it was

88
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: all about family gathering and being together and when we

89
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 1: were all living near each other, and it's just beautiful.

90
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 1: It really brings out those beautiful memories, and I think

91
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: that's something you can't put a price tag on. You

92
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: really can't. I absolutely love those memories. I like the

93
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: feeling of togetherness. I think the holidays definitely promote that,

94
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: and you make more dinner plans, or you try to

95
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 1: see people you haven't seen, You go out of your

96
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: way to do that, which we don't always get to

97
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: do during the year. So I love feeling like we're

98
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 1: part of something bigger than just us, and it really

99
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: promotes bringing everybody together. I think traditions also make us

100
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: feel really grounded. There's a sense of stability in them,

101
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 1: whatever it is, however big or small it may seem.

102
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 1: When you get to relive that tradition. Oh, it just

103
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: kind of brings your feet back on the earth and

104
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 1: makes you feel like, wow, I can breathe, I can

105
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: feel safe, I can feel comfortable, I can feel like

106
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: I can stop for a minute. And that, to me

107
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: is why tradition is so valuable. And I like that

108
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: you can make your own traditions. When I got married,

109
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 1: when I got together with Geo, we formed our own

110
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: traditions that are beautiful, that mean a lot to me,

111
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 1: and I think forming your own are really important. Maybe

112
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: you didn't get the traditions you wanted as you were

113
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: growing up. You can now make your own, and that's

114
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,359
Speaker 1: as beautiful about the holidays. As you start creating things

115
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 1: for just you as well, so you can and hold

116
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: onto things from your past that you want to cherish.

117
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 1: You can also let go of things you want to

118
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: let go, and you can move on to start your

119
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: own tradition. So I love the ability to start fresh

120
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: and do something that makes you feel fulfilled and like

121
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: your cup is full. That's a really beautiful thing. People

122
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: are also more generous. They're more giving during the holidays,

123
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: which that makes us all feel good. And I don't

124
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 1: just mean with presents, because it's not about presence, but

125
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: more so doing for others. Right, Maybe it's volunteering, maybe

126
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 1: it's making a meal for somebody or a family that's sick.

127
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 1: It just encourages you to think about others in a

128
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: way that perhaps sometimes gets forgotten during the busyness and

129
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: chaos of a year. So I love that it promotes that.

130
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 1: I think that's a really important thing. And the world

131
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: seems to slow down during the holiday season. I feel

132
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 1: like my industry starts shutting down mid December, like people

133
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: are kind of clocked out, and the holidays give you

134
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: were chance to regroup. It gives you permission to slow

135
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: down and find your sense of peace and be a

136
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: little bit more grounded and still without feeling the pressures

137
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: of work or society or everything all the time. Yes

138
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: we still are busy during the holidays, and yes we work.

139
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,239
Speaker 1: There's a lot going on. I have a background in retail.

140
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: I worked retail all throughout the holidays for a large

141
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: portion of my upbringing in my career, and that never stopped.

142
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: I mean that was I was working holidays and stored,

143
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: visiting stores, all of it. But even so, being with

144
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: friends and being with community it felt special, felt special,

145
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: there was something nice about it, and going out afterwards

146
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: and being in this altogether, like I said, that we're togetherness.

147
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: It's something that I feel like has so much value

148
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: during the holiday season, and it just this is going

149
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: to sound really cheesy, but if you know anything about me,

150
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: you know I'm kind of a cheese ball when it

151
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: comes to the holidays, and I feel like my life

152
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: is a want to be a Hallmark holiday movie. Lights

153
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: everywhere on Christmas, trees, on billings, on reads, I mean

154
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: everywhere you look. It's the season of lights. There's something

155
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: about it that brings hope. Yes, it's getting dark at

156
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: four forty five pm in New York City, which I

157
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: absolutely can't stand. But during the holidays, everything is lit

158
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: up in the most beautiful, beautiful way. And when I

159
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: look at it, when I look around at all of it,

160
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: even at my tree, there's something so hopeful about it.

161
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know why. Obviously light always

162
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: means something positive and bright and hopeful, but when I

163
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: see it everywhere, it just can't it just can't help

164
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: but make you feel hopeful. So the magic that the

165
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,959
Speaker 1: season naturally gives you is something that I think makes

166
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: this time of year absolutely beautiful, and I love that

167
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:50,319
Speaker 1: you have permission to kind of be campy. You can

168
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 1: wear fun, wacky sweaters and it's cool and looked at

169
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: as fun. You can have fun themed parties, you can

170
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: decorate like crazy, you can make things that you don't

171
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: make during year. It's just a time to be a

172
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 1: little out there and fun and campy, and I love that.

173
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: I love that for the holiday season. I think it's

174
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: so valuable. And I don't know about you, but another

175
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 1: thing I really love. I grew up with the Peanuts, right, So,

176
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: I mean there were before my time, obviously, but they

177
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 1: were always on TV, and I think on Apple TV

178
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: now you can watch all the holiday specials and I

179
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: love doing things like that. Do you guys remember the

180
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: Clay animation movies that were on TV? Again, they were

181
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: before my time, but my parents would watch them and

182
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: I grew up watching them. So when I see them now,

183
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: I also smile. And that's that piece of nostalgia again

184
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: and reliving a little childhood memory that I think is

185
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: so much fun. And I just I personally think Christmas

186
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: into the New Year is a time for you to

187
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,959
Speaker 1: really reflect on what you want in life. And I'm

188
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: going to talk about New Year's and how I view

189
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: resolutions in another episode as it gets closer to that holiday.

190
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: But I think it's a really nice time for you

191
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: to take inventory of how you're doing, how is your mind,

192
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: how is your body, how is your spirit? Because we

193
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: do neglect that throughout the year, and I always preaching

194
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 1: importance of not neglecting that because we deserve to feel

195
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: our best. But we're all human, we fall into patterns sometimes.

196
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 1: So I think that it's a time of year where

197
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: you can start really tapping into you and yourself and

198
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: what you want, especially that week between Christmas and the

199
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: New Year. And that's so valuable because self care. If

200
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: you know anything about me, you know I love self

201
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: care and promoting self care because we have one life

202
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: to live, we have one body, we have one soul,

203
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: one spirit, all of it. So let's make sure we're

204
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: being as good to all of that as we can be.

205
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 1: And also let's also here's the other thing. Let's not

206
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: just be good people during the holidays, Let's be good

207
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 1: people all year. So let's carry in the values from

208
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: the holiday season into everyday life. I think that's a

209
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: great reminder of the holidays as well. But yeah, looking

210
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: around and seeing all the joy everywhere, it just makes

211
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 1: me so happy. In New York, there's brown Stones that

212
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: decorate beautifully for the holiday season, So I love walking

213
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: around and seeing the Brownstones. I love going to little,

214
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: fun pop up Christmas celebrations in the city. Ice skating,

215
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: even if I don't ice skate, which I haven't done

216
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 1: in a while and I'm determined to do it. I

217
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 1: love watching the ice skaters. I just love the action

218
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: of the holiday season, like so many of you do

219
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 1: as well. So is Christmas the best time of the year?

220
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 1: You know what it is? It absolutely is. It is

221
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: the best time of the year for all the reasons

222
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 1: that I mentioned. So enjoy every single moment of this

223
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,880

00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: I am a Christmas fanatic, a holiday fanatic. I have

228
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 1: no judgment for people's traditions or how they want to

229
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: extend this celebration of the season or not. Do what

230
