Speaker 2: And I was like, yes, I do, And so Alan's like,
Speaker 2: you didn't sign me up for that, did you? And
Speaker 2: I was like one thousand percent?
Speaker 1: And we're going Christmas caroling? I love it.
Speaker 2: I don't think we're going to because I'm I don't
Speaker 2: think I'm going to be able to get the kids
Speaker 2: because it's not because I really only want to go
Speaker 2: if I have the kids. And it's on you my
Speaker 2: ex's day, so that's cute. So I think it's not happening,
Speaker 2: but I still might go just to do that make
Speaker 2: Alan go. And he's like, you don't expect that I'm
Speaker 2: going to sing. And so last night we were practicing.
Speaker 2: I was like, jingle bells, jingle bells, and he'd be like.
Speaker 1: No, no, no.
Speaker 2: I was like, because I'm like he actually he doesn't sing.
Speaker 2: But it's cute when like I can hear him sometimes
Speaker 2: sing his Jerry Cinnamon Scotland artist guy and I'm.
Speaker 4: Like, baby, you have you have a nice ton you have?
Speaker 4: He does.
Speaker 2: But I do want to say thank you to everyone
Speaker 2: who DMed me when I was talking about, uh, you
Speaker 2: were not here because your daughter was sick. We were
Speaker 2: talking about what to do about the holidays. It's just
Speaker 2: tough because I don't get Christmas Eve. I don't get
Speaker 2: that day at all. So I think a lot of
Speaker 2: people are like, oh, if you could have them Christmas Eve,
Speaker 2: then I could have them, you know, But it's like
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't have them on Christmas Eve, and
Speaker 2: I really just don't know which which time I like.
Speaker 2: I don't like any of them, but like which one's
Speaker 2: easier than the other, because it's like, it's so hard
Speaker 2: to to not have them Christmas Day noon on, and
Speaker 2: it's so hard to not have them Christmas evenight. Like
Speaker 2: every year, it's like I struggle in the like this sucks.
Speaker 4: I don't like this one. I don't like that.
Speaker 1: So were you were just trying I heard you were
Speaker 1: trying to decide whether you were going to do like
Speaker 1: a different Christmas Day again basically.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I don't. I brought it up to Jolie
Speaker 2: because I'm like, you know what, this isn't about me.
Speaker 2: It's not about what I want. And so I'm like,
Speaker 2: let me, let me just test the waters with Jolie.
Speaker 2: And so I was like, hey, girl, I was like,
Speaker 2: do you remember when Santa came early or Santa came
Speaker 2: the next day? When this was like two years ago,
Speaker 2: and She's like kind of like she didn't really remember,
Speaker 2: jas didn't really remember. I was like, well, what we
Speaker 2: did was, I was like, we asked Sanna like Santa
Speaker 2: came on Christmas Day, but then we also had you know,
Speaker 2: Santa came another day. And she was like, no, I
Speaker 2: want Santa to come on the same day. And so
Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, like if that's what if that, if
Speaker 2: that's what she wants, then you know that I'm gonna
Speaker 2: like honor that and this is about her, and so, uh,
Speaker 2: what I'm gonna do is I'm going to bake cookies
Speaker 2: with them on Thursday.
Speaker 4: And then uh, I asked Mike.
Speaker 2: If I could, uh if Christmas Eve, if there's just
Speaker 2: like fifteen minutes that I could, I'm like, I can
Speaker 2: even come pick them up. I was like, but I
Speaker 2: still want them in the act of like putting the
Speaker 2: cookies out that we make, you know, so uh And
Speaker 2: he's like that's fine. He's like, I can, I can
Speaker 2: drop them off and you know it's like we can
Speaker 2: you know, come in and come in or whatever. And
Speaker 2: I was like, no, no, I just like I just
Speaker 2: want I just want them, so like I can go.
Speaker 2: He's like, no, it's fine, like I can bring them.
Speaker 2: Like oh, I was like, but it's like I also
Speaker 2: know it's his day, so I'm like, okay, yeah, so
Speaker 2: he's going to bring them. We'll just put the cookies
Speaker 2: out and then it'll be Christmas Day when they when
Speaker 2: they come in and that I think that that's sweet. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's it's like a bummer, you know, like the whole
Speaker 2: like I like to read the book the night before
Speaker 2: and like, right, but it is what it is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, and so Santa will come on Christmas morning
Speaker 1: and it'll be there waiting for them, waiting for them
Speaker 1: when they get there. And then yeah, I mean, is
Speaker 1: there like a way you can start a new tradition
Speaker 1: of when that's your or that is the new tradition
Speaker 1: and can you do it the opposite way next year,
Speaker 1: like when you have them, would you take them over
Speaker 1: to Mike's and let him do the same thing if
Speaker 1: it mattered to offer it.
Speaker 2: To him, like if you want them to like come
Speaker 2: leave the cookies out. I just don't even know if
Speaker 2: they like make cookies.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 1: That might not be good, that might not be something
Speaker 1: that's important to him, like it is important to you too, So.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I have no idea.
Speaker 2: But I did say, like, and if you need an
Speaker 2: hour like that too on Christmas Eve, like you can
Speaker 2: do that for you next year.
Speaker 1: There may be something different that's really important to him
Speaker 1: that maybe he asked for.
Speaker 2: And I just don't know, like some people were dming
Speaker 2: saying you should swap like one has them Christmas Eve
Speaker 2: all day, one has them Christmas all day.
Speaker 4: I just don't know what.
Speaker 2: And I maybe it'll change, like I have a friend
Speaker 2: this year doing or they're going to trad off Christmas Day.
Speaker 2: But I'm like, I don't know. I don't think I
Speaker 2: would not want to see them at all on Christmas Day,
Speaker 2: you know, right, maybe when they get older, like I
Speaker 2: want them because I didn't like Christmas because I felt
Speaker 2: like I was having to go to so many different
Speaker 2: houses and it was so stressful. So like, I want
Speaker 2: to like obviously honor what they want when they get
Speaker 2: older too, but.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know, so we'll see. But either way,
Speaker 4: it's just like it.
Speaker 2: I just have to come to the realization that it's
Speaker 2: not how I ever pictured or saw it, and that
Speaker 2: it's okay. Like I've cried every year I haven't been
Speaker 2: with them, no matter if it was on Christmas Eve
Speaker 2: or not Christmas Eve or whatever. So it's just acknowledging
Speaker 2: that it's hard, it's not how it's supposed to be
Speaker 2: and we'll figure it out.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, and making it your own, getting it to
Speaker 1: a place where it feels like it's your own and
Speaker 1: you're happy and everybody's happy with what it is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I appreciate everyone reaching out. I do like
Speaker 2: greatly chap that all. Have you finished your shopping?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you feel good about it?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I got done. It's been a weird, you know year.

Speaker 4: So you didn't want to put a bow on it.
Speaker 1: Well, I had nothing to do with this. I'm literally
Speaker 1: on my way out of town. I knew we had
Speaker 1: to pick it up relatively soon, but I didn't know
Speaker 1: when I am driving out of town and he's like
Speaker 1: picking up Cadence truck and surprising him today, and I
Speaker 1: was like cool, but I just had to like.
Speaker 4: Would you have done it any like a different way?
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 1: I kind of gave them. I had nothing to do
Speaker 1: with the truck on this one. I kind of let
Speaker 1: them just handle it all, which was something for them,
Speaker 1: which was was kind of nice. With what the truck
Speaker 1: he picked, we didn't really have an option to like
Speaker 1: wait till Christmas. Like the guy needed to get rid
Speaker 1: of it. He had done some work on it, and
Speaker 1: he can really hide a truck exactly exactly. So yeah,
Speaker 1: so he's excited about it. He's been driving it. It's
Speaker 1: like real big tires has.
Speaker 4: Been driving it. Oh No, he's not alone yet, no,
Speaker 4: because that's it, but.
Speaker 1: Like the tires are big, like and so I'm like,
Speaker 1: you've got to get like used to this for the
Speaker 1: next couple months.
Speaker 4: So what makes is it hard to drive big tires? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I mean it's like real wide lifted, like the truck
Speaker 1: is lifted and with big tires, oh, so like the
Speaker 1: radio has been driving my yes, like I don't even know.
Speaker 1: He has not attempted to park it yet. He'll probably
Speaker 1: have to park like far away, right, I mean yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean my truck is big, so he's kind of
Speaker 1: used to it. The radius isn't as good because it's like,
Speaker 1: you know, an old truck with big tires. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm excited for him.
Speaker 4: I love that.
Speaker 1: So that's fun.
Speaker 4: Did you get Nick anything?
Speaker 1: I did a lot of random stuff you did, Like, this.
Speaker 2: Is the first year he didn't ask me what to
Speaker 2: get you, and I'm a little worried.
Speaker 1: Same.
Speaker 4: He didn't ask me at all, and I was like
Speaker 4: I was waiting for it to be like I would.
Speaker 1: Like I sent him like two things. I know one
Speaker 1: he didn't get, but I think he got the other maybe.
Speaker 1: So we weren't really going to do gifts because there's
Speaker 1: like just so many practical things we need to do
Speaker 1: right now, like a new garage door and like random stuff. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I kind of thought we were just going to
Speaker 1: take care of all that. Yeah, but then we just
Speaker 1: kind of haven't, so we did. I just did like
Speaker 1: clothes for him and some like practical hunting gear stuff.
Speaker 4: Yeah, would you do Brown?
Speaker 2: Well, I can't say because he I mean, not that
Speaker 2: he listens to the podcast, but but I did get
Speaker 2: him something, but I was it's not that I was.
Speaker 1: I would.
Speaker 2: I would always get him something. But I really wanted
Speaker 2: to do the practical stuff too, because I really, I
Speaker 2: really really really really really want to sauna like badly
Speaker 2: because I'm trying to like detox a few things and
Speaker 2: I've just like heard so many benefits of saunas, but
Speaker 2: they're expensive, and so I'm like, babe, why don't we
Speaker 2: just do that together? And he's like, no, it's Christmas,
Speaker 2: you need to open things. I'm like what, I'm like,
Speaker 2: I just I'm like I don't need design or this design.
Speaker 2: Like I was like, please don't like police, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean, Like, let's put it together, let's put
Speaker 2: it to the tennis court. We want to do in
Speaker 2: the back or the you know, it's not like those things.
Speaker 2: I'm like, I don't. I'm like, or wrap a beautiful
Speaker 2: framed something like. That's like, please don't spend the money.
Speaker 2: But he's just and it's something I've actually never I
Speaker 2: would always spend money and do really nice gifts, like
Speaker 2: for my ax and stuff. I never got that reciprocated back,
Speaker 2: like I don't think ever. And so with Alan, it's
Speaker 2: like it's so sweet that he wants to, but I'm like,
Speaker 2: I really don't. It's nice, but I'm like I don't
Speaker 2: need it. Yeah, and it's like he it's like it
Speaker 2: doesn't matter right, right, So.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm sure y'all will get lovely gift.
Speaker 2: But it's sweet. Yeah, anyways, but I love like I
Speaker 2: love the holidays.
Speaker 1: I'm so excited, so excited.
Speaker 2: It's just yeah, and it's so nice to everyone's like, well,
Speaker 2: you say I have Roman. I'm like, I know, but
Speaker 2: it's it would be nice to just have all the babies.
Speaker 1: But we will, It'll be great.
Speaker 4: Everything will be great.
Speaker 1: It'll be great. Everything will ye well, you'll it'll be
Speaker 1: I I know that it will be hard for you.
Speaker 1: It always is, yes, but I do feel like you'll
Speaker 1: see a cool part of it with y'all and Roman too.
Speaker 2: H yeah, I think that'll be easier when he gets older, right,
Speaker 2: but and the like the kids can help too. I
Speaker 2: will say this though, and you know I love my
Speaker 2: husband so much, but that man does not do well
Speaker 2: with the elf on the shelf.
Speaker 1: Oh, we're awful and like.
Speaker 2: My kids are so bummed when he doesn't move, and
Speaker 2: so he even put like a an alert in his
Speaker 2: phone and I.
Speaker 1: We have one every night.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and he never does it.
Speaker 2: I'm always doing it, and it's one of the things
Speaker 2: I'm like, please, I need your help with it because
Speaker 2: I will forget. But I don't think Roman's going to
Speaker 2: get enough on the shelf.
Speaker 1: Oh I wish we would have never done that.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So it's like if if the I'm going to ask
Speaker 2: the kids if they want to do it for Roman
Speaker 2: when they know that the elf on the shelf, and
Speaker 2: then after that, like that'll be their job. If they
Speaker 2: want to do it, they'll do it for a little
Speaker 2: while and then they'll.
Speaker 1: Say, then you'll get to where we are where nobody's
Speaker 1: Like last year, Emmy and all our friends were helping.
Speaker 1: It was so creative. It's all the things they haven't
Speaker 1: moved at once this year. Yeah, well I take that
Speaker 1: Backimmy's maybe move moved them a couple of times, but
Speaker 1: we're just not like creative.
Speaker 2: It's so creative that I'm just like, we just move them.
Speaker 2: I mean, they get so creative.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I am like slightly jealous of those people, but
Speaker 1: also I don't have it in me, so right, it's
Speaker 1: fine though, everything's fine, everything's fine.
Speaker 4: It's a holiday season, so they do all right.
Speaker 2: So on that note, we hope everyone has a happy holiday,
Speaker 2: and we just are so thankful for you for listening
Speaker 2: to the show, and we just yeah, we hope everyone
Speaker 2: has a safe, healthy and happy holiday.
Speaker 4: And remember why we have this season. Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas.
