So anyways, I 46 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 1: thought that it would be nice to kind of just 47 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,800 Speaker 1: share what I like during the holidays, what we eat 48 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: in my family, what we're gonna eat out there in 49 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: the mountains. I want to take this time to go 50 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: back back to the good old days when my mom 51 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 1: was here, when my family and i'm my extended family, 52 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 1: we were all super close and I was young, I 53 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: was I don't know. I think my best Christmases were 54 00:02:55,600 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: like anywhere from seven to like fourteen, maybe sixteen years old, 55 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: and we would always get together at Grandma's house. I 56 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 1: actually have a picture that I'm probably gonna share this 57 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 1: year on social media of all the cousins together at 58 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 1: Grandma's house in our pj's. The house always smells like that, 59 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,519 Speaker 1: Malis and Grandma was there with all my Theias making 60 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,079 Speaker 1: the tamilis, showing them her little recipe. She never gave 61 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: them the full secret. She would just show them. You 62 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 1: know this is Yagolos Males. I'll never forget. One year, 63 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: we were again at Grandma's house and we were waiting. 64 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: It was the twenty fourth because we opened our gifts 65 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: on the twenty fourth at midnight, so basically the twenty fifth, 66 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: but I like the twenty fifth in the morning. You know, 67 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: Mexicans we do that. We were at Grandma's house, like 68 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: I said, and they put boxing gloves on all of us, 69 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: my cousins and I, and we were all they just 70 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: made us fight each other. And I'll never forget because 71 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: they put me with my cousin Karina. My cousin Karina 72 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: is my theo Gus's daughter and who I've always been 73 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: really close to, and they put us together and she'd 74 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: kick my ass. Let me tell you, she's two years 75 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: younger than me. But they just made us like, you know, 76 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: it was all play fighting, but some of us, Now 77 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 1: I didn't get mad, but some of my cousins did 78 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: get upset and they started like kind of fighting for real. 79 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: But then they calmed us down, and they're like the 80 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: winner got money, so then they would give us like 81 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: I caancias like piggybinks that my grandparents throughout the entire 82 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 1: year would fill up with coins and quarters and just 83 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,840 Speaker 1: money that they would get from the casino. They loved 84 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: going to the casino, so all year they would do that. 85 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: And they had a piggy bank for all the grandchildren 86 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: and they would give it to us on Christmas and 87 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: we would break it with the hammer outside and you know, 88 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: sometimes we'd come out with like, I don't know, hundreds 89 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 1: of dollars of just coins. It was so much fun. 90 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 1: I missed those days, to be honest, I miss those 91 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,919 Speaker 1: types of Christmases where we all literally got together. But 92 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: it's nice. It's nice to look back and have those memories. 93 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,280 Speaker 1: And hopefully one day I can do that with my 94 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,280 Speaker 1: nieces and nephews with my own children. But for us, 95 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 1: it was just important to eat, chill in our pajamas, 96 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: watch movies together, and just enjoy, you know, enjoy each 97 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: other's presence. My mom one year, she was always really busy, 98 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: you know, with work or whatnot, and I would always 99 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: do like the Christmas shopping for her. She would give 100 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 1: me a list and kind of an idea of what 101 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,479 Speaker 1: she wanted to get each of us, and I'd go shopping. 102 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 1: But there was this one year, I think it was 103 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: like two two thousand and nine where she went shopping 104 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 1: by herself. She says, I want to do it myself. 105 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: I'm going to go and I said, okay, cool, and 106 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: she says, I'm gonna wrap them too, I'm gonna wrap 107 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: them this year. I'm like, all right, awesome, And I 108 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 1: guess what she did. She went shopping, which I thought 109 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: was really cute. She got all of us things that 110 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,720 Speaker 1: you know, reminded her of us, which was really nice. 111 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: But she didn't have time to wrap anything. So she 112 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 1: put all of our gifts in one big ass box 113 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 1: and she didn't even wrap the box. She just put 114 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 1: it under the tree. And she's like, okay, put our 115 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,799 Speaker 1: names on them. So we each had a big box 116 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: and in them were just things that she went to 117 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 1: the mall and bought for each of us us. I'll 118 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: never forget because it was just so sweet because I 119 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: knew how busy she was, especially that year, traveling and everything. 120 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: That was one very very special Christmas. Yeah, and I 121 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: have a few of those. Even when before, even before 122 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,159 Speaker 1: Jenny Rivera was Jenny Rivera and we were living in Compton. 123 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: You guys, we didn't have money for Christmas, and she 124 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,600 Speaker 1: bought a little tree that sat on top of a 125 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,799 Speaker 1: speaker and she decorated it and that's all we could afford. 126 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 1: And literally I had one gift under the tree. But 127 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: it was just so nice to know that she went 128 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: out of her way and to get us that one gift. 129 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 1: It was always mom trying to make everything so special, 130 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: not even just on Christmas, but also on Valentine's Day. 131 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,839 Speaker 1: On my mom would even make us baskets for Easter. 132 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 1: It was just so cute. She would go to ninety 133 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: ninth sent store and pack it up, but it was 134 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 1: just like a big old basket full of stuff for us. 135 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: So anyways, here I am going down memory lane.

I just got socks. But now 173 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: I'm grateful, So I think it's kind of funny how 174 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 1: things change. No, those are just a few of my memories, 175 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 1: but those are the ones that are the highlights I 176 00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 1: think now for me. Holidays, especially Christmas, I think it's 177 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: important for my siblings and I to be together, whether 178 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: it be at my house or my sister's house. And 179 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 1: I think it's also important to have a Christmas tree 180 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 1: if it could be real. I prefer a natural tree 181 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: because of the smell, and it just smells like Christmas 182 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 1: when you walk in. I have been busy, especially this 183 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: year with the move and everything, and last year was 184 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 1: kind of crazy, but I always find the time to 185 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 1: get a Christmas tree, get someone to decorate the house 186 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: for me. I just love to have the feeling of Christmas, 187 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: even like having the kisses. You know, they have like 188 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 1: always these holiday kisses that only come out during December, 189 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,959 Speaker 1: the Hershey kisses, and I love having those at home. 190 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: Or peppermint ones, which are so bom you guys. If 191 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: you haven't tried them, you need to. They're like my favorite. 192 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 1: And having just candles that smell like vanilla and cinnamon 193 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 1: and just all these Christmas candles all that is so 194 00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 1: important to me because it just feels like a big 195 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: hug when you walk into your house and it smells 196 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: like pine and it smells like Christmas and cookies, and 197 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 1: it's just for me that is important. That's something that 198 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: my mom always had no matter what, no matter how 199 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 1: busy she was, whether we had money or not, it 200 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 1: was like, we have to have a Christmas tree, we 201 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,839 Speaker 1: have to have candies. She was all about even though 202 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 1: she didn't eat them. She was like, have candies at 203 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:25,319 Speaker 1: the house, have candles. I want fresh flowers. So those 204 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 1: are things that for me are now as an adult, 205 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: are important. You guys know that, yes, holidays are about food, 206 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 1: well at least for me, about food and drinks. And 207 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 1: I have to say that for Christmas, I do like 208 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 1: maybe breakfast cooking, but I've always left that to like 209 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,959 Speaker 1: my grandma.

I've seen other families that 250 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 1: get all dressed up, and I think it's nice with 251 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 1: their like nylons and their cute dresses and their cute 252 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: high hills, and I think that's really nice. You know, 253 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 1: my family's never been like that, so I'm not used 254 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 1: to that, and I don't know, maybe that's something that 255 00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 1: I want to do with Like my family when I 256 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 1: have kids, it's like, hey, everyone dressed up, We're going 257 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 1: to take a Christmas picture. But it's always been like 258 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 1: be as full the long guys you possibly can. So 259 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,440 Speaker 1: maybe that's something that I got to change up.

Because usually the times that we've gone 264 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: to like Big Bear or wherever there's snow, we always 265 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 1: go after Christmas. This is the first time ever that 266 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 1: we're going to be there during Christmas, so I'm thinking. 267 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: I talked to my sister about it. She's like, you 268 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 1: know what, what if we just take like friejlees and 269 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: we take some rice and we cook it out there, 270 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 1: or we just go to the grocery store when we 271 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 1: get there, like the local grocery store, and just buy 272 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: everything we want. You know, I don't know. I really 273 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 1: don't even want to care about the calories. I want 274 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: to eat as many carbs as I possibly can because 275 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 1: it's just like my last chance to just say okay, 276 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 1: and then January comes along and then I really have 277 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 1: to get on a strict dight, you guys. But I 278 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 1: want to have orioles, nutter butters. Ooh, the oreoles and 279 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,960 Speaker 1: the milk so delicious when you like just let them 280 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 1: just soak in the milk and you get the spoon. 281 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 1: It's just so good. So I'm looking forward to that. 282 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 1: I want sandwiches with doritos on the side and a halapano. 283 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 1: I want to eat all of it, all of it. 284 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 1: So I'm probably like the kids love Tody soak on welo, 285 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: so we're gonna do that. I'm and make some beans 286 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 1: and media loves want to make them beans with cheese. 287 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 1: I make some bomb ass beans, you guys, refried beans. 288 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 1: I gotta make that.

I'm gonna write all 291 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 1: this down. I'm just gonna listen to the to the 292 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 1: podcast on my way there to the snow so I 293 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 1: remember exactly everything I want to eat. So, as I promised, 294 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 1: I'm going to share some gift giving tips with you. Guys. 295 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 1: Can you believe that we're less than one week away 296 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 1: from Christmas? I cannot believe it. This year went by 297 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:55,239 Speaker 1: so quick. So if you're still undecided, time is running out. 298 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: And I'm real proud of myself this year because I 299 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 1: did all of my Christmas shopping already and that never happens. 300 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 1: So you guys, get on it. So when shopping for 301 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 1: your significant others, I think it is important to keep 302 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: in mind obviously what they like and they don't like. 303 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 1: If they're into sports, what are they a foodie? Are 304 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 1: they tech savvy? Fashion? Because there's some you know men. 305 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 1: In my case, guys, am, I significant other's a man 306 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 1: that is not into fashion, you know what I mean. 307 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: He's more of like, it's really hard to shop for 308 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 1: clothes for him, so I don't even go there. I 309 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: know he likes shoes, I know he likes hats. I 310 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 1: know his hat hat size. He's not really a sports guy, 311 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 1: so it's important if he likes sports all that stuff. 312 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 1: You have to write all that down. For me, I 313 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 1: need to make a list, priority list, and then the 314 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 1: second I always have that, I'm like, okay, this will 315 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 1: probably I could do this on Amazon dot com, I 316 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 1: don't know, so I always go. I cannot go shopping 317 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 1: without a list. So it's super important to just think 318 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 1: about those things, the primary things. Another thing that I 319 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 1: think is super cute for your significant other is a 320 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: perfume or a cologne, you know, because it's something that 321 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: for me, it's like, I want my man to smell goods. 322 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 1: So if I like the Colonne, he better like it 323 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 1: because will I'm gonna be smelling it, right. So I 324 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: like to also do baskets with their favorite foods, with 325 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 1: a cute little cologne, some gift cards or favorite stores 326 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 1: I don't know, Home Depot or best Buy, I don't know. 327 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 1: And putting a little basket together I think is something 328 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 1: easier for me, I think, than to do individual gifts. 329 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 1: But immedia was pretty easy to shop for. To be honest, 330 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 1: for the men that are listening, I have some tips 331 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 1: for you as a woman and as a woman that 332 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 1: loves to be surprised. I think it's important for you 333 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 1: not to overthink it when you are buying a gift 334 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 1: for your girl. Don't go over there buying her pots 335 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 1: and pants if she doesn't ask for them, okay, because 336 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 1: she's gonna feel like, oh, you're buying them for me 337 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 1: so I can cook for you. It's kind of like, no, 338 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 1: make sure, I don't know, like even as easy as 339 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 1: getting her a gift certificate for a manicure and petticure. 340 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 1: We all need a petticare a massage. I don't know 341 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 1: whoever she gets her hair done with, get her a 342 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 1: certificate like here, I'll buy you know you, I don't know, 343 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,359 Speaker 1: one time to go get your hair done or three 344 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 1: months or whatever. Things like that go such a long way, 345 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 1: and I think it's important that you know, like, Okay, 346 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 1: what's gonna make her happy? Think about her. For me, 347 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:25,640 Speaker 1: it's I'm so like easy to please in that area 348 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 1: where I'm like, okay, just buy me things that I need, 349 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 1: like my socks, like candles, like wipe these even baby wipes, 350 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 1: you guys, are so important because I use them every 351 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,399 Speaker 1: single day. So It's like if someone were to give 352 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 1: me a box of baby wipes, I'd be so happy 353 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,920 Speaker 1: because those logs are expensive. So men, when you're shopping 354 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,639 Speaker 1: for your girl, just think about what will make her happy, 355 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,639 Speaker 1: what will make her smile, Think about like, I don't know, 356 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 1: even like her favorite place to go eat. I think 357 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,440 Speaker 1: those types of things go a long way for us women. Yes, 358 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,440 Speaker 1: persones are nice. Yes, diamonds are nice. I'm not saying no. 359 00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 1: But even if you can't necessarily afford that this year, 360 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:04,200 Speaker 1: it's just the littlest things that make us smile, even like, oh, 361 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 1: he remembered my favorite type of chips, you know what 362 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:08,640 Speaker 1: I mean. Like to me, it's like, oh my god, 363 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 1: it's so cute. He knows I like ha Cheetos. He 364 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,719 Speaker 1: bought me some Ha Cheetos. You know, you don't have 365 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,399 Speaker 1: to like go all lavish to make her happy, at 366 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,399 Speaker 1: least not a lot of the women that I know. 367 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 1: I think. It's just it's the thought that counts, and 368 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:22,360 Speaker 1: for you to go out there and get it yourself 369 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 1: for her, you know. With that being said, even a 370 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:29,400 Speaker 1: gas card, you guys, we all need gas every single 371 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 1: day of our life. It's that simple. I just think 372 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 1: those little things, I'm telling you go a long way. 373 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:42,679 Speaker 1: So gifts for him, ladies that are listening. Again, if 374 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 1: he's into sports, it's important that you get him a jersey, 375 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 1: a cup, There's all kinds of stuff that I've seen 376 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 1: sports stuff. If he's not into sports, is he techi? 377 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 1: Does he like I don't know, get him a new 378 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,680 Speaker 1: pair of AirPods if you can. If not, another thing 379 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: they like home Depot, if they like all these guy stores, 380 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,399 Speaker 1: even if they're like games I love. Honestly, I really 381 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 1: like gift cards. And I know a lot of men do, 382 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 1: like my brothers. When I give them stuff, they're like, 383 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: oh my god, yeah, just give me some cash. And 384 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 1: sometimes I feel like cash is a little like, I 385 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:17,399 Speaker 1: don't know, like unthoughtful, I guess. But gift cards, I 386 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 1: think it's kind of like, oh they know what I 387 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,439 Speaker 1: what I'm into, you know. So I think it's important 388 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,440 Speaker 1: to know your man. And again, a lot of them 389 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,399 Speaker 1: need underwear, new briefs. Get them some briefs. They need them, 390 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: and you're gonna, you know, see them, so you might 391 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 1: as well get something you like. My brothers always appreciate 392 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 1: socks again, colognes, But it is important to know your 393 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 1: significant other and not just get something that you think 394 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,920 Speaker 1: they'll like. It's really pay attention to what they really love. 395 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 1: And that goes I'm telling you a long way now 396 00:19:55,640 --> 00:20:00,640 Speaker 1: talking about people that quote unquote may have everything. I've 397 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,440 Speaker 1: gotten that quite a bit. And I used to think 398 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 1: that about my mom or I'm like, oh my gosh, 399 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 1: she can buy herself anything. What can I possibly get her? 400 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 1: But I think sometimes we're thinking of something super expensive 401 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 1: because you feel that people that have money want branding things, 402 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:21,120 Speaker 1: and that's not necessarily true. My mom was that type 403 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,520 Speaker 1: of woman that was just like she was happy with 404 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 1: the smallest things, with a devotional for instance, a book 405 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 1: she loved that. She loved candles. She wasn't into flowers 406 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,480 Speaker 1: really too much, like when you gifted her flowers, She's 407 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,160 Speaker 1: just like buying flowers for her home. But like when 408 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: you gave her flowers, she was kind of like, eh, 409 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 1: you know, but it's just it's not even about branding things. 410 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 1: It's more of the little things that count. Like I 411 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:48,680 Speaker 1: would always give her a certificate to go get a massage, 412 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: you know, and she loved that because anyone that's busy, anyone, 413 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 1: it doesn't even matter if you're busy or not busy 414 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 1: or whatever, Everyone and anyone appreciates a nice massage, a 415 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,400 Speaker 1: day at the spa. Think about things like that, dinners, 416 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 1: a concert, ticket music. Everyone likes music, you know what 417 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 1: I mean? Like think of like outside the box. It 418 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily have to be expensive to make someone smile. Now, 419 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,440 Speaker 1: if you're on a budget, which I completely understand, especially 420 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:19,400 Speaker 1: after the tough year year, should I say that we've 421 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 1: had I think the pandemic came and really put a 422 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,679 Speaker 1: lot of things into perspective and made a lot of 423 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 1: things difficult. So if you're on a budget, we all 424 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:32,880 Speaker 1: know this, but we really need to believe it that 425 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,719 Speaker 1: Christmas and the holidays are to spend time with your 426 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 1: loved ones, to show your love, not with just giving gifts, 427 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 1: but just giving someone your time, your quality time, even 428 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 1: a card expressing your feelings and your thoughts about that person, 429 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,719 Speaker 1: about how grateful you are for them. That is something 430 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 1: someone can keep forever and it's priceless. My sister one 431 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 1: year I was having difficulties financially and she went to 432 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 1: Michael and got some It sped out some ornaments and 433 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 1: she filled them up with cute little I think it 434 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,399 Speaker 1: was like confetti and stuff, and she made each of 435 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:14,959 Speaker 1: us a special ornament. Yes, it was already Christmas and everything, 436 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:16,640 Speaker 1: but we had it for next year, and I thought 437 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 1: it was super cute. She says. I'm sorry you guys, 438 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 1: I don't have a lot of money this year, but 439 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,400 Speaker 1: I thought it was so thoughtful to make something handmade, 440 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,680 Speaker 1: and it was so beautiful and it meant so much 441 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:26,919 Speaker 1: to me because it was a picture of me and 442 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 1: my mom and Mikey with his dogs, so it was 443 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,920 Speaker 1: just and lunas. It was just really nice. I think 444 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,199 Speaker 1: that sometimes when you make something handmade, it's something that 445 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 1: can last forever and it's a memory for the rest 446 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,399 Speaker 1: of your life. So even cooking something, baking something for 447 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:45,919 Speaker 1: someone that's beautiful. Okay, cookies, I don't know, I said earlier, 448 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,439 Speaker 1: like gift baskets their favorite foods. You know, you can 449 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 1: literally spend twenty bucks on a basket and just put 450 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: their favorite foods, and that's something that people will appreciate. 451 00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 1: I mean, people that really know the meaning behind what 452 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 1: holidays are about. And if they don't appreciate it, then 453 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 1: they should not be in your life. Okay. I hope 454 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 1: that these tips helped you, guys.

But the most important 458 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 1: thing at the end of the day is spending quality 459 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: time with those that you love and creating memories, because 460 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 1: that's what stays forever.
