Show Notes
Kim and Grandma Gail are back in New York after a little Florida stint, settling into holiday season real talk with St. Francis Winery. Kim shares how their family can feel like a reality show on Thanksgiving, while Grandma dives into why older generations “just blurt it out”. Together, they break down the biggest tension points of the holidays — from dating questions to appearance comments to political disagreements — and how to actually survive them with humor, thoughtful pivots, and, of course, a good glass of wine.
In The Rewind, they discuss movies that the whole family can agree and bond over during the holidays. The episode wraps up with a Should We Bring It Back? on controversial holiday songs and an Ask Grandma Anything on boundaries, gift budgets, friend drama, and navigating your first holiday without someone you love.

What do you keep, what do you toss, and when does sentimental turn into clutter?
