<v Speaker 1>Still the Place with Laura Layton, Courtney Thorn Smith and.

0:00:09.680 --> 0:00:15.080
<v Speaker 2>Daphne's Amiga and iHeartRadio podcast. Hey everyone, we're here for

0:00:15.120 --> 0:00:17.640
<v Speaker 2>a mini episode. It's a holiday episode.

0:00:17.760 --> 0:00:21.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, welcome back and happy holidays to everyone. I just

0:00:21.400 --> 0:00:23.000
<v Speaker 3>want to say I was hoping that we were going

0:00:23.079 --> 0:00:24.520
<v Speaker 3>to be able to do this episode in person, but

0:00:24.560 --> 0:00:26.440
<v Speaker 3>because all of our schedules are so busy and everything,

0:00:26.440 --> 0:00:28.360
<v Speaker 3>we weren't able to get together and do it in person.

0:00:28.360 --> 0:00:29.720
<v Speaker 4>We're doing it on zoo. But I just want to

0:00:29.760 --> 0:00:30.120
<v Speaker 4>say that.

0:00:30.120 --> 0:00:33.080
<v Speaker 3>I've got a little holiday deliciousness to enjoy that I

0:00:33.159 --> 0:00:34.560
<v Speaker 3>was able to enjoy.

0:00:34.600 --> 0:00:35.560
<v Speaker 4>I did Okay.

0:00:35.600 --> 0:00:39.040
<v Speaker 3>So I took this recipe that I normally make into

0:00:39.120 --> 0:00:42.120
<v Speaker 3>a bunt pan that's really beautiful, you know, aunt pan.

0:00:42.520 --> 0:00:44.000
<v Speaker 3>You can get them in all different like shapes and

0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:47.600
<v Speaker 3>designs or whatever, but it's kind of like really hard

0:00:47.600 --> 0:00:49.400
<v Speaker 3>to make sure that it comes out of the pan

0:00:49.520 --> 0:00:50.280
<v Speaker 3>correctly and everything.

0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:52.400
<v Speaker 4>So I tried it today just as.

0:00:52.280 --> 0:00:54.680
<v Speaker 3>A loaf, like a loaf of bread, like like a

0:00:55.040 --> 0:00:57.440
<v Speaker 3>like an apple sauce gingerbready pumpkin.

0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:00.560
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, so it's really don't.

0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:01.480
<v Speaker 2>You were in person?

0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:03.640
<v Speaker 5>That I know? So good?

0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:06.600
<v Speaker 3>Maybe we'll be able to get together before the holiday

0:01:06.959 --> 0:01:09.800
<v Speaker 3>season is entirely over and we can share a little

0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:10.680
<v Speaker 3>sweet something together.

0:01:10.840 --> 0:01:12.160
<v Speaker 5>Oh that so fun.

0:01:12.440 --> 0:01:14.440
<v Speaker 4>Lift a glass, celebrate, Barnie.

0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:14.960
<v Speaker 1>Do you bake?

0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:17.319
<v Speaker 2>I know you've said that you cook, but do you

0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:18.640
<v Speaker 2>bake and stuff during the holla?

0:01:19.240 --> 0:01:21.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't bake because I can't have gluten. It gives

0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:25.920
<v Speaker 1>me migraines. So I t some Isn't that the craziest?

0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:28.520

<v Speaker 1>Sometimes super comfortable. Yeah, I don't know or anything.

0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:45.480
<v Speaker 2>I just have real it's with different flower, right, is

0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:48.120
<v Speaker 2>it like an almond flower or something spells or something.

0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:50.400
<v Speaker 4>It's just there's a lot of things that can be

0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:54.360
<v Speaker 4>gluten free, so you can replace it in lots of

0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:55.080
<v Speaker 4>different ways.

0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:58.520
<v Speaker 5>I would love some tips and tricks. Oh that's so fun.

0:01:58.520 --> 0:01:59.120
<v Speaker 5>I love that.

0:01:59.680 --> 0:01:59.880
<v Speaker 2>You know.

0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:03.120
<v Speaker 4>I don't bake. I never have. My sister does.

0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:05.800
<v Speaker 2>Back in the day, probably during I think it was

0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:09.160
<v Speaker 2>during Melrose Place. Actually she lived with me for a

0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:12.800
<v Speaker 2>while out here and had a baking business. So my

0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:18.040
<v Speaker 2>entire closet pantry in the entryway was filled with doileys

0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:22.800
<v Speaker 2>and pink boxes and gold trays, you know, vats of

0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:26.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what. But anyway, we're very different that way.

0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:28.680
<v Speaker 2>I love to go places that A.

0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:29.960
<v Speaker 4>Well we went through.

0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:33.280
<v Speaker 3>I usually have a whole lot of family around at Christmas.

0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:35.000
<v Speaker 3>I mean, first of all, we have four kids, and

0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:37.720
<v Speaker 3>now two of them have spouses. So when we're all together,

0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:39.959
<v Speaker 3>we're you know, we're not only six, we're eight plus

0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:42.200
<v Speaker 3>my parents plus my you know. Like so sometimes we

0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:46.200
<v Speaker 3>have just just a casual fourteen, you know, for all

0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:48.000
<v Speaker 3>the days and all the meals and whatever. And there

0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:51.000
<v Speaker 3>was I think there was a I think one of

0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:54.560
<v Speaker 3>the COVID Christmases where we didn't have our giant a

0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:56.880
<v Speaker 3>Christmas party that we often have, and we were just

0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:58.960
<v Speaker 3>the fourteen of us or eleven or however many that

0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:02.040
<v Speaker 3>were that year. We were just cooking and eating and

0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:04.320
<v Speaker 3>baking and eating and cooking and eating and bacon and eating.

0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:08.080
<v Speaker 3>And we called it the cake a Day Christmas because

0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:10.760
<v Speaker 3>I was baking a cake a day, Like I was

0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:13.560
<v Speaker 3>trying new cakes and like try this one, which you know,

0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:15.200
<v Speaker 3>and it was the cakea day Christmas.

0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:18.959
<v Speaker 2>Remember the sour dough during the pandemic, everyone.

0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:19.480
<v Speaker 5>Was doing a coward dough.

0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:20.480
<v Speaker 2>You probably did that.

0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:25.280
<v Speaker 3>Now, you know, my daughter is just a master at

0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:28.080
<v Speaker 3>sourdoaught bread and she bakes a couple times a week

0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:30.760
<v Speaker 3>and she's she's got that master. So she was.

0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:32.280
<v Speaker 5>That's amazing. I mean, that was one thing.

0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:34.680
<v Speaker 1>The meals, because when did you ever get three meals

0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:37.480
<v Speaker 1>a day together except when your kids or baby baby babies.

0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:40.000
<v Speaker 1>So I remember we went through a period having these

0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:42.640
<v Speaker 1>huge baked potatoes every day. We'd sit down onto these

0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:45.320
<v Speaker 1>huge baked potatoes. Start up baked potatoes, then you added cheese,

0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:47.480
<v Speaker 1>then you added bacon, then you had storgry by then.

0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:50.440
<v Speaker 1>But it's like a baked potato bar every day at lunch.

0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:52.480
<v Speaker 1>And it was fun to have that thing to look

0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:54.600
<v Speaker 1>forward to because the days were so weird.

0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:57.720
<v Speaker 5>Right, that's great, Yeah, yeah, it was really fun.

0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:01.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we looked forward to cocktails at five and then

0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:04.160
<v Speaker 2>begin well it's four thirty. Well it's a Tuesday.

0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:04.880
<v Speaker 3>Who cares?

0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:07.880
<v Speaker 5>You know, I was.

0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:12.160
<v Speaker 2>I remember all those memes and instagrams like about that.

0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:15.160
<v Speaker 2>You know how everyone picked up on the cocktail thing

0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:17.960
<v Speaker 2>and just this now we all had to like, oh, well,

0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:20.120
<v Speaker 2>what's a dry January anyway, who cares?

0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:22.000
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, And isn't it nice that this year?

0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:24.400
<v Speaker 1>It also makes you appreciate when you don't have those

0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:27.039
<v Speaker 1>restrictions right now that we're back to regular holidays. So

0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:30.120
<v Speaker 1>what are your holiday traditions that you really look forward to.

0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:32.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm not from a big family. It's a little bigger.

0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:35.080
<v Speaker 2>It's getting bigger because my husband has three kids and

0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:37.720
<v Speaker 2>one just got married and you know, they have partners,

0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:40.400
<v Speaker 2>and my brother got married and they're going to be

0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:42.760
<v Speaker 2>having a baby. Sit so it's growing. But I didn't

0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:46.560
<v Speaker 2>grow up with a big family, and so I kind

0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:49.800
<v Speaker 2>of can do a group and a crowd for a

0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:50.520
<v Speaker 2>period of time.

0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:53.240
<v Speaker 5>But I have to have my room to sneak.

0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:55.480
<v Speaker 2>Away to and shut the door. I have to or

0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:57.719
<v Speaker 2>I will go nuts. And I don't want to be

0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:02.560
<v Speaker 2>pressured into doing group things. Need I really like alone

0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:06.840
<v Speaker 2>time and Christmas time. The holidays are the only time

0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:11.880
<v Speaker 2>I can like let go and stop doing things because

0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:13.480
<v Speaker 2>I know everyone else is doing that too, so I

0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:16.039
<v Speaker 2>don't feel like I'm missing out or I'm getting, you know,

0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:17.480
<v Speaker 2>behind on things.

0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:18.920
<v Speaker 6>I like to.

0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:22.279
<v Speaker 2>Write, read, listen to music, do nothing, stare out. We're

0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:24.680
<v Speaker 2>going to be out in the snow with my sister

0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:28.360
<v Speaker 2>up in the mountains. So I just like to be reflective,

0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:31.800
<v Speaker 2>and I think it's important that people know that they

0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:34.839
<v Speaker 2>can do that or whatever feels right to you. This

0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:37.520
<v Speaker 2>is a time for reflection and slowing down and letting

0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:40.800
<v Speaker 2>the sort of day to day go. And if it's

0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:43.520
<v Speaker 2>a group, wonderful. If it's not, it's okay. And if

0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:47.320
<v Speaker 2>you're working through Christmas, I've done that too, so but

0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:49.360
<v Speaker 2>still to find what's right for you.

0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:51.279
<v Speaker 5>I don't like the external pressure.

0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:53.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's really important, I think.

0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:56.480
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I love that, laur And we do.

0:05:56.640 --> 0:05:58.560
<v Speaker 3>I mean, you know, we have kind of a giant

0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:02.120
<v Speaker 3>family and extend family giants. So we have a huge

0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:05.560
<v Speaker 3>crowd of people usually for the holidays, and kind of

0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:08.039
<v Speaker 3>a revolving door of people coming and going in different

0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:10.080
<v Speaker 3>travel plans. And especially now that some of our kids

0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:13.680
<v Speaker 3>are having families of their own, we're having to shift around.

0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:17.320
<v Speaker 3>Like sometimes Christmas morning doesn't look the way it did,

0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:20.920
<v Speaker 3>you know, back when everybody was little and lived at home.

0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:22.599
<v Speaker 4>You know, now sometimes we have to celebrate it on

0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:23.480
<v Speaker 4>a different day and it.

0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:26.320
<v Speaker 3>Doesn't really have to look the same as it did

0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:28.240
<v Speaker 3>when when they were kids. You know, it's sort of

0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:32.000
<v Speaker 3>morphed into what traditions are important and what.

0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:35.120
<v Speaker 4>You know isn't as important.

0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:38.680
<v Speaker 3>And of course we're having grand kids now we have

0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:41.080
<v Speaker 3>a grand baby, so this is kind of our first

0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:44.400
<v Speaker 3>big Christmas with a grand baby around. Who's you know,

0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:47.800
<v Speaker 3>walking and appreciating it and starting to you know, be

0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:50.479
<v Speaker 3>able to say Santa and stuff like that. So those

0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:54.080
<v Speaker 3>traditions come back again when, you know, when we have

0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:56.440
<v Speaker 3>grand babies around and everything. But some of the things

0:06:56.480 --> 0:07:01.640
<v Speaker 3>that we have maintained through the years, regardless of what

0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:04.960
<v Speaker 3>age people are or how many people are actually here

0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:08.920
<v Speaker 3>this year, is we love to enjoy music together and

0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:12.120
<v Speaker 3>we just you know, a couple of us play the piano,

0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:15.480
<v Speaker 3>and we have people who play a guitar, and we

0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:17.760
<v Speaker 3>have trumpet players in our family, and we have you know,

0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:20.760
<v Speaker 3>lots of people sing and so like just having fun

0:07:20.840 --> 0:07:23.440
<v Speaker 3>like sing alongs and just enjoying music.

0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:25.040
<v Speaker 4>That's such a big part of our holidays.

0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:29.880
<v Speaker 3>And besides baking, we actually and eating, we just love

0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:31.960
<v Speaker 3>the music part of it and finding any excuse to

0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:34.400
<v Speaker 3>just spend that kind of time together. But I hear

0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:36.880
<v Speaker 3>what you're saying, daff and I think that that day

0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:40.160
<v Speaker 3>after Christmas is always such like everybody gets a book,

0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:43.080
<v Speaker 3>and that time where everybody finds a separate place in

0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:45.120
<v Speaker 3>the house to go have a nap with their book

0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:48.560
<v Speaker 3>is like some of the best parts of Christmas to

0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:49.120
<v Speaker 3>look forward to.

0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:51.080
<v Speaker 4>It's just that quiet time alone and just.

0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:54.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's important because the time goes faster than you think.

0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:56.440
<v Speaker 2>And then if you work a lot and you have

0:07:56.480 --> 0:07:58.320
<v Speaker 2>a busy day and then you have this time off

0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:01.280
<v Speaker 2>and you're just going, going, going, you know, that's like

0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:04.880
<v Speaker 2>that's not good. We all have to like disconnect at times,

0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:06.920
<v Speaker 2>and yeah, decompressed.

0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:10.400
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, it's nice in la which is always so busy,

0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:15.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, in the entertainment istry. Everybody has two weeks

0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:17.760
<v Speaker 1>off at Christmas to New Year's so that the streets

0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:21.320
<v Speaker 1>are quiet, the town is quiet. It's such a lovely

0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:26.600
<v Speaker 1>time if you stay home to decompress. It's really magical

0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:29.080
<v Speaker 1>here at Christmas because it's the town. Everybody goes to

0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:32.280
<v Speaker 1>the Four Seasons in Maui and then you know, right.

0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:33.720
<v Speaker 5>No one's on the road.

0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:36.280
<v Speaker 4>I'm not going to the Four Seasons in Maui.

0:08:36.120 --> 0:08:39.480
<v Speaker 1>Now, but at the time maybe maybe I'm dating myself.

0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:41.680
<v Speaker 1>But that's what used to happen in the industry, and

0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:43.679
<v Speaker 1>now it's gotten so nice and quiet.

0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:46.800
<v Speaker 2>So you'll be here and you are you having fails.

0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:47.840
<v Speaker 5>I love to be here.

0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:50.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm really similar to you, Daphnel, Like I really

0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:52.040
<v Speaker 1>love my quiet time.

0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:56.240
<v Speaker 5>Like my favorite thing is New Year's Eve home alone.

0:08:56.320 --> 0:08:58.760
<v Speaker 1>I like to have that time when everybody's busy and

0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:02.040
<v Speaker 1>crazy that I'm home and I'm quiet and I'm cuddled

0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:03.720
<v Speaker 1>in a couple of years ago, we had a big

0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:06.800
<v Speaker 1>rainstorm and one of my girlfriends was staying with me

0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:08.640
<v Speaker 1>and she was going out to dinner with a big

0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:11.280
<v Speaker 1>group of people and I've been invited, and she's dressed.

0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:13.080
<v Speaker 1>It's eight o'clock a night. She's going out because I'm

0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:14.199
<v Speaker 1>sure you don't want to come, And I was.

0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:16.679
<v Speaker 5>Like, oh, absolutely sure.

0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:21.120
<v Speaker 1>I was so happy to be home on my couch

0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:23.600
<v Speaker 1>with my dogs. She's heading it and they had a

0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:27.360
<v Speaker 1>lovely time. But I was like, I love that time

0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:31.480
<v Speaker 1>to myself to really just sort of welcome in the

0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:34.400
<v Speaker 1>new year from this place of quiet and peace. And

0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:36.959
<v Speaker 1>my son and I have a tradition for Christmas, which

0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:39.200
<v Speaker 1>is not at all the traditions I grew up with,

0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:42.000
<v Speaker 1>but we make a big steak and mashed potatoes and

0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:42.720
<v Speaker 1>watch die Hard.

0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:44.880
<v Speaker 5>Well, I just.

0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:48.840
<v Speaker 1>Love that's our Christmas movie. It's so much fun. Diehard

0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:52.360
<v Speaker 1>Christmas movie, Christmas and it's so much fun. Although last

0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:55.240
<v Speaker 1>year we tried to watch die Hard too, and it's

0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:58.040
<v Speaker 1>way smarter than I ever have been or ever will be.

0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:02.320
<v Speaker 1>And he goes, this is the same movie as die

0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:04.280
<v Speaker 1>Hard just at an airport, and I was like, oh,

0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:06.360
<v Speaker 1>wait a minute, like I never pulled that threat.

0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:08.040
<v Speaker 5>I never that threat.

0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:10.200
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, well, maybe Diehard three will be

0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:12.080
<v Speaker 1>better like this, just wait and see.

0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:13.199
<v Speaker 3>But it was.

0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:16.440
<v Speaker 1>Almost verbatim the same movie, same beats, and then they

0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:18.600
<v Speaker 1>got more creative with three and four. I think they've

0:10:18.640 --> 0:10:23.160
<v Speaker 1>been five Diehards. Anyway, Yeah, that's a super fun tradition.

0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:25.720
<v Speaker 1>Then this year, one of my dear friends and moved

0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:27.600
<v Speaker 1>away is coming back, so it's going to be a

0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:31.760
<v Speaker 1>lot of girls dinners times with friends. So it's going

0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:35.720
<v Speaker 1>to be that family, right like my family of women,

0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:39.440
<v Speaker 1>my family of girlfriends, which is going to be so

0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:42.280
<v Speaker 1>much fun. I'm so looking forward to it. And I

0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:43.839
<v Speaker 1>love what you said, Daft because it's so true. I

0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:45.560
<v Speaker 1>remember one time I had to do I was doing

0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:49.439
<v Speaker 1>a TV movie, and they said that. They said, I

0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:51.720
<v Speaker 1>want you to send like a holiday greeting to people,

0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:54.520
<v Speaker 1>and everyone's saying, have fun with your families, have fun

0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:56.200
<v Speaker 1>with the tree, all this stuff, And I said, but

0:10:57.160 --> 0:10:59.360
<v Speaker 1>many of us have different kinds of holidays. Like it's

0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:03.400
<v Speaker 1>really important to say you can celebrate in so many

0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:06.120
<v Speaker 1>ways or not celebrate in so many ways, because it

0:11:06.120 --> 0:11:08.960
<v Speaker 1>can be a time too. You're sitting home watching these

0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:11.640
<v Speaker 1>Christmas movies and all that looks like this big thing

0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:14.160
<v Speaker 1>that I never had, right, Like I never had the

0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:16.440
<v Speaker 1>twenty people around the tree. I never had that, and

0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:18.800
<v Speaker 1>I used to feel bad about it. Now I don't.

0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:21.840
<v Speaker 1>I really look at what do I want this season.

0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:23.880
<v Speaker 5>To be for me? And it can be my son

0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:25.520
<v Speaker 5>and I watching die Hard.

0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:28.240
<v Speaker 1>It can be like a New Year's Day when everybody's

0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:31.120
<v Speaker 1>home with a hangover. I love taking my dogs on

0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:31.880
<v Speaker 1>a walk.

0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:32.320
<v Speaker 5>In the woods.

0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:35.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, like waking up early and celebrating the new year

0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:39.760
<v Speaker 1>with my dogs and my higher power and my inner thoughts.

0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:42.680
<v Speaker 1>It's just so beautiful when I can let go of

0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:45.760
<v Speaker 1>it has to look this way and I can let

0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:49.000
<v Speaker 1>it be whatever I want it to be in the moment.

0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:51.480
<v Speaker 1>And that's part of brwing up too. Yeah, that's part

0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:53.079
<v Speaker 1>of getting older and knowing who I am.

0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:57.600
<v Speaker 2>I've also noticed that those little magic moments can happen

0:11:57.640 --> 0:12:02.120
<v Speaker 2>at any time, Yes, anywhere. The blessings you feel that blessing,

0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:06.000
<v Speaker 2>you feel that connection, that can happen anywhere, online, at work,

0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:09.240
<v Speaker 2>in the car, It can happen anywhere. It doesn't have

0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:11.160
<v Speaker 2>to be with the perfect tree and the perfectness and

0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:14.400
<v Speaker 2>the perfect gift. So take the pressure off.

0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:16.400
<v Speaker 3>Well when it, you know, just the changing of the year,

0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:18.079
<v Speaker 3>like when it becomes a new year, I just think

0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:22.240
<v Speaker 3>that's a natural time for reflection and sort of looking back,

0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:25.920
<v Speaker 3>looking forward and regrouping whatever that is, you know, for

0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:29.920
<v Speaker 3>each person. I think that's just a natural time of that.

0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:32.760
<v Speaker 3>And it marks time, you know, the calendar changes, and

0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:33.960
<v Speaker 3>it's a marking of time.

0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:35.320
<v Speaker 4>And do you do.

0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:38.880
<v Speaker 3>Resolutions Like I don't know that I make thought about

0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:41.920
<v Speaker 3>it or resolutions, but I do think I mark the time,

0:12:42.040 --> 0:12:44.120
<v Speaker 3>like I note, like what is it that I want?

0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:46.320
<v Speaker 3>You know what I really I like to reflect on

0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:50.240
<v Speaker 3>the year behind and then think of what what it

0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:52.440
<v Speaker 3>is in the year ahead or the coming years ahead.

0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:55.880
<v Speaker 3>And but yeah, Courtney, are you kidding? Like I would

0:12:56.280 --> 0:12:59.160
<v Speaker 3>never like leave the house on Year's is like such

0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:00.000

<v Speaker 4>But yeah, I one year, I got really ambitious. We

0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:23.360
<v Speaker 4>had I think another couple over it, and we made.

0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:28.559
<v Speaker 3>Fortune cookies for resolutions. We all wrote like little resolutions

0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:30.160
<v Speaker 3>on these little strips of paper and then baked them

0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:33.440
<v Speaker 3>into these fortune cookies. That was sort of fun.

0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:34.959
<v Speaker 5>I only did it and then did you open them?

0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:36.840
<v Speaker 5>Whatever one you got was your.

0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:39.880
<v Speaker 3>Like, I mean, it wasn't like anything necessarily private, you know,

0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:41.600
<v Speaker 3>but it was like just a sharing moment, like oh

0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:43.720
<v Speaker 3>I put this one in and coming out of a

0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:44.320
<v Speaker 3>fortune cookie.

<v Speaker 6>As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda, and Charlotte navigate relationships

0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:12.160
<v Speaker 6>in New York City. The show helped push once unacceptable

0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:16.080
<v Speaker 6>conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative

0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:19.280
<v Speaker 6>around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them

0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:22.800

<v Speaker 5>With special guests.

0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:32.800
<v Speaker 6>What will begin with Sex and the City will evolve

0:14:32.880 --> 0:14:36.240
<v Speaker 6>into talks about themes that are still so relevant today.

0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:39.400

<v Speaker 1>only resolution is just a deeper surrender. Like my prayer is, God,

0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:00.840
