Hey Friend! 

On today’s episode, I’m chatting about the five dumb things we accidentally do to mess up Christmas in the hope we can avoid making these common mistakes.

We’ve all been there – we want Christmas to be perfect and magical, but sometimes it’s not. Sometimes our less-than-idyllic Christmas is due to circumstances that are out of our control, but other times it’s because we make choices that mess up our holiday season. But, today’s discussion is intended to equip us to experience all the peace and joy our souls long for this Christmas season.
