Hello friends and welcome back to the podcast. I am so excited for today's

podcast because it is a little reflection episode. As you guys are listening to

this it is the week of Christmas I honestly hope you're just

enjoying time off time with your family really just soaking in all of the holidays

because I think that getting kind of like a Christmas week is honestly so special. I love when

Christmas isn't on the weekend because then you can really just enjoy the week even if you're

working you feel like you're in the holiday spirit. I just love that time and I kind of also hope that maybe you're

chilling away from the content for a little bit, maybe just listening to this before you settle down or whatever it may be. That's kind of my plans.

I'm really excited because Aiden is actually taking off work next week.

And he really doesn't take off very often.

So we might do a little staycation somewhere in Texas for a couple of days or just hang out, whatever it may be,

and then we're just spending the holidays here with my family like we always do.

I would love to hear what your holiday plans are. I know you can't actually comment on this or anything but this year I know things are a little bit different and so for this year personally for my, we are just opening presents and doing the Christmas

day stuff with my immediate family.

We always do that.

We kind of thought about visiting my grandparents in Ohio, but that obviously didn't end up happening.

And so we're just doing everything with my immediate family,

which is still a lot of people decently

because I have four siblings and then some of us

are married and my parents, kids. So it'll be really fun. I'm just really

excited to kind of like slow down and I've kind of been trying to slow down more

which made me want to do today's episode. I know that it's not technically the new year
