Don't Get Holiday Stressed!

Married to Portuguese

Remember the days of late-night Christmas feasts and mountains of gifts? Well, for us, those days evolved as our children grew up and moved out on their own. We discovered that traditions could change, and in this lively chat, we share our journey from extravagant gift-giving to a budget-friendly, stress-free holiday season with the help of an app called Elfster.
We contrast our different childhood Christmas experiences and how it shaped our current holiday traditions. From midnight mass and door-to-door partying to a more organised Secret Santa tradition, we navigated our way through these changes while keeping the holiday spirit alive. Interestingly, Elfster came to our rescue, simplifying the tradition of gift exchange and bringing convenience to our scattered family. So sit back, relax and join us as we reminisce about the twists and turns of our evolving family traditions and how we found balance in celebrating the holidays.
