23. Jump Scare: Christmas Is Coming!

Show Notes

THIS IS NOT A DRILL!

It’s October, which means it’s officially time to clock on for Christmas. We’re talking tree traditions, the VERY controversial debate about when the decorations should go up (spoiler: it’s probably not when you think) and whether Christmas actually lives up to the hype.

Plus, who’s taking charge of Christmas dinner these days and are we still finding the magic in it all or just adding more to our already overflowing plates?

We’re getting organised, getting festive, and asking the questions we’re all thinking but probably haven’t said out loud yet. Because Christmas is meant to be the most wonderful time of the year… but is it really?

Got a question that’s keeping you up at night? Head to our instagram page and tell us about it. We want to talk about it!
