To, Like I just want to lay as much as possible.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
And I like looking like a hobbit, like I like
just like throwing my hair in a clip and like
not wearing makeup. But I did a lot of Christmasy
things and like holiday things leading up, Like we went
to like the boat parade, and I was trying I
find a nutcracker around town to go see, but I didn't,
So I failed myself in that.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
But did you get all your shopping done already? Like
you're done? No? Oh okay, Yeah, I haven't done a
single thing.
Speaker 3 (05:12):

Yeah, I'm a little overwhelmed.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Yeah it's okay.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
I'll get it done. I always do. This is no different.
I think I just feel two weeks in Japan, come

Speaker 2 (05:26):
You know what, I bothers me though every year I
tell myself I'm gonna do better next year, Like.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
I'm gonna plan ahead.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
It's at the end of September I'm gonna start thinking
about things. I'm gonna start getting things. I'm gonna start
wrapping things so that I don't feel this way because
I really want to just like not have to worry.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
About that stuff these two weeks.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Like I really want to like unplug an unwind and
not have the stress of the presence.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
And I never do it every year. Same, it's annoying.
Why can't I do that for myself?
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Do you exchange gifts? Do you and Robbie exchange gifts?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
We typically do, And that's the plan this year. But
I'm like, I have no idea what to get.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Him, like truly no clue. I know he's a simple guy.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
He is a simple He's so simple.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
I'm like, what do I was thinking about getting some
like barbecues, tools or something.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Like it's like a man gift.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Well, I also we like readed our backyard and stuff,
and so I found this really cool heater like outdoor
heater and it's really chic and you can either have
it standing straight on or it can like fold out
and be like over the table. And it's plugin, so
there's no propaine or anything needed. And so I asked Haley.
I was like because all her family was wanting to
(06:43):
get me something, and I was like, can you just
all go in on this because I don't need stuff
and I don't like people wasting their money and spending
money on me if I don't need it. And so
I was like, this is something I'm excited about. She's like,
are you sure? Yeah, I'm stoked. So when we got
back from hand that night, because we laid it at like
two pm and we didn't want to go to sleep
(07:04):
and mess up our schedule, I like, built the built
the night, I mean the heater and everything, and it's
amazing that I will send it to you. It's incredible.
YA would use it so much.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
All the time I was frigid out in my backyard.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
I'm likeazing, Well, what prompted it is that at Halloween
we had rented I mean Halloween Thanksgiving we rented heaters
and they left them over the weekend and we ate
outside and had one of them on, and I was like,
oh my gosh, this is so fun being outside and
not being miserably cold. Yeah, so I'm really excited. No,
(07:39):
it's just a plug it. Yes, it's amazing. She was
not a cheap girl, but she.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Is worth it very Renting them is so expensive.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
I'm like, even renting them, I will make up the money.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
I know, when we were doing Thanksgiving, Robbie's like, we
don't need to spend money on heaters. I'm like, we
absolutely do, and I was like, I think we need
to buy some because like this is so crazy, Like, yeah,
why are we buying a heater.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
For Valentine's Day? I'm gonna be asking you for another one.
So like you talk about getting stuff that's like a vacuum,
like it's exciting as an adult, I.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Know, but I'm like, I don't want to be in
that phase of my relationship where we're like buying each
other like vacuums, and like you.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Could do it then also a cool piece of bracelet
or something. I don't know what is Robby, Like.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
You've been really wanting new pillowcases, like every time.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Exciting. I love a new pillowcase. Get him a silk
pillow case.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
I don't even think he wants the sill phone.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
He just wants it because like we change our pillowcases
every night, so we put it on a new pillowcase
every night. We just have a ton of pillowcases.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
But they have like, wow, every single night.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Yeah, because Sonny like gets on our pillows and.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Kind of gross.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
That's insane. What but do you wash your sheets every day? No,
just the case, just winning the poop the sheets. But
he's changing his pillow case every night. Sure, that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Let me tell you this is not something that he
would do.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
This is a Tanya thing. Okay, yeah, it's not like he.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
How many pillow cases are you gonna need to that's
I gotta get a lot of pillowcases.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
But our pillowcases have like they're like ripped. I mean,
I don't even know. These are from like when I
was in college. Like we just like combined all of
our pillowcases when we like.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Got together and even like uniform pillow cases.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
No wow, thrill.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Yeah, we have the ones that like belong with the
sheets and stuff. But there's four of those, so we
go through those in two days.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
I have collected my silk pillowcases, which are like they're expensive,
so I keep them, but every now and then I'll
order when I'm like I need fresh ones, I'll order
us fresh one. So now we have a little container
that just has our silk pillowcases. It's amazing.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Wow, you know I should get a silk pillow. Everybody
keeps telling me about this.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
You should definitely have them one, I know for your
hair and extensions and everything. I know you should look
into that. I'll get to one. A monogram. You're in
on it, thank you so much. Yeah, so gifts her
gifts are it's hard. I also like, I'm like, what
do I get Haley? I got her a diamond ring, yeah,
a trip to Japan.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Like it's too much.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
Now, what do you want?
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (10:16):
I also two of the gifts actually got her for Christmas.
It was like a sweater and already.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Got her her gifts for Christmas.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Well, I got her sweater and jeans and I was like,
she'll probably want to wear these in Japan, and she
did wear them on our proposal day. So I'm like,
I just need I like to have her for her
to have something to unwrap, yeah, under the tree. So
I just am like trying to get creative and what
to do for that.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
So a cute ornament would be nice. One one year
I got Robbie like a white Bronco Christmas tree ornament
and like he loved it. It was like five ninety
nine on Amazon and he loved it.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
When so at the Four Seasons we they had all
these ornaments and they had like four seasons on them
and stuff, and we're like, that'd be so special to
have as like a memory. And they weren't for sale,
so we we were like, could we get one of those?
And they brought us two of them, so we have
two ornaments.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Well we should have done that without her knowing because
you could wrap that.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
Shoot. Yeah, so wish Mill can be out on the
streets shopping.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Getting an ornament every year is very We started doing
that like the last couple of years, like making a
point to like like December first we go to ornament
shopping and talk about a wild married life activity. Uh,
it's really fun, like like yeah, we just went to Hallmark.
I got a little the Heat Miser from the year
with out of Santa Claus. I don't know if you guys
know the Heat Miser.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
He's mister Green Christmas.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
He's mister He's got fire for hair.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
People know what I'm talking about from the seventies. But
I got a little guy I think Allison got a
little mouse riding on a sledge that looks like a button.
It's fun. It's fun to do that.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
They're still Hallmark stores.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Oh, there's still Hallmarks at the mall m.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
A L L.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
I haven't seen one of the I love the Hallmic
story is so fun.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
I know, it's so nostalgia.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
There's one close to us in Sherman Oaks.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
At Sherman Oaks Fashion Square.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
With a Hallmark stories I believe. Yeah, yeah, today.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
I go to the one the Santa Anita Mall, and
they're very nice there every year when you go, yes, yes, yeah,
they know us now. But it's a fun tradition. I
think to do that. And now we've got our tree
was like full of crazy.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
Old Yeah, I know, and that's what I want because
it takes a long time to make a collection of ornaments.
You know, mine are pretty generic. Do y'all do like
(12:50):
a traditional kind of Thanksgiving esque food situation on Thanksgiving?
I mean on Christmas? I do you have turkey and
stuffing and all the things.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
It depends on where we're doing it.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
If my sister hosts Christmas, her husband my brother in
law like does like a whole feast. But if it's
just like if this year's just gonna be like me
and my parents would probably like go out to dinner somewhere.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
Oh nice.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
We don't really have something that we do. The only
thing we do every year on Christmas is decorate Christmas cookies.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
That's fun. Yeah, I love a tradition. We were just
talking about like traditions and what are the traditions that
you had growing up, And I couldn't think of anything
like specific that we did, Like we would do cookies
and stuff, but and decorate and like hang the ornaments
and stuff. But I couldn't think of you know, people
will be like we go in a nighttime ride.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
And look at all the Christmas like on Santa's lap, Like, yeah,
my only thing my memory is of Christmas was like
we couldn't open our presents until everybody had woken up
and had their coffee and breakfast.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Like that was kind of like the rule. It is
just like nobody opens gifts.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
You can go into your stocking, but like no gifts
are opened until everybody's had breakfast and coffee. And so
by that time everybody has a breakfast coffee, we're all
sitting by the tree and then everybody goes one by
one youngest to oldest wow opening a gift that was
kind of like our thing.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
We were like we did have to wait till everyone
was up, but they would wake it whoever was up
first and wake us up at like four thirty.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
It'd be like also the rule like you can't wake
anybody up.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
We did not have that rule, and there was no
like as soon as we went into the to the
room where all the gifts were, we just it was
like free for all. My parents did.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
I can rip it like you all just like went
to town.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
We just went to town. My parents were not like
gonna make us all wait.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
One by one, yeah, one by one, but yeah, I.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Mean I feel like that makes sense so that everyone
feels like they get there do attention. But I never
needed that, Like I never wanted actually wanted to enjoy
open my gifts like and be in my own space
without the attention.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
I think it was like because we all got each
other gifts, what I mean, so it was like this
presence from like my brother, this person is from so
it's like everybody could see the other person opening up
like their gifts gift.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
I think it's like nice.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
But I think I'm thinking about when we were kids
we didn't bite each other gifts we did.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
My parents would give us money and we would like, oh.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
That's cute street.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Yeah, yeah, what do y'all do for food?
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Trying to remember we don't do like where we did
a turkey one year. It was kind of rough.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Usually Turkey's fantastic.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
We were figuring out how to do is this the
two of us?
Speaker 4 (15:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (15:25):
On Christmas last year we did the Feast of Seven Potatoes.
That was really fun. We cooked seven different types of potatoes.
I think we talked about on the podcast here. And
I don't know what we're going to do this year,
because you know, it's hard to not al the restaurants
through open We got to figure something out.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Yeah, so shoot, you're.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Right, Yeah, I did not factor that in.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Yeah, there's a there's a barbecue place and Minrobia. It's
advertising that. They're like, we're gonna have breakfast burritos on
Christmas Day and New Year's Day. And I was confused
by that, and I can't stop thinking about it. I
might try the barbecue plays sounds good, so good, but yeah,
we actually kind of figure that out.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
So I don't know what we're going to do. I
know I don't know what we're doing either.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Let me tell you what hits on a Christmas morning?
What a cinnamon Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
We always I feel like we always had some version
of a cinnamon role in my house.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
I'm like trying to think because like now, obviously, like
my step kids are Jewish and so they've never celebrated
raided Christmas until like I came into the picture. And
it's like so cute because people will be like, when
do we get to open our socks?
Speaker 3 (16:31):
And I'm like, oh, oh, they're.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Stalking, you know, like they don't, that's like not what
they the stockings?
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Yeah, like he calls them socks, Like well, yeah, so cute,
so cute.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
And so I'm like trying to figure out kind of
like because we've had them every other year, so we've
only celebrated I think like two or three Christmases with them,
but they celebrate Hanakah, so it's like we do both.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
But I'm on a try.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Like the one thing that had every year in my
stocking was this like amazing gingerbread, like man, that I
only got in my stocking every year, and it was
so delicious, and so I'm like I want to have
that I still haven't figured it out what it is
I want to have like a one thing that is
like every year on Christmas from me. Yeah, and I
still haven't done that. And it's been like I've spent
(17:20):
three Christmases with them.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Maybe this is the eerie you begin, But.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
What is it that's so like my mom in my
stocking always gave me like a balsa wood airplane, like
those little like lightwood plane, like she still does like
when I go visit, you know, we go up in
like January to like see her and give her Christmas
gifts and she'll still give me that plane. And like
it's a very fun.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Yeah, Like there's something sweet about like have just getting
that one thing. Yeah, And I was I was thinking
about doing like a gingerbread cookie, but neither of them
like gingerbread cookies, so like that.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Wouldn't be hit the same way.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Yeah, maybe like candies or chocolate that they like.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Yeah, there's like this specific chocolate store, but I get
chocolate from them like it throughout the year, so it's
not like as But yeah, there's something I could figure
it out.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
Yeah, twenty twenty six is gonna be here.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
You have all your to think about it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Well,
we love you so much. If you're celebrating Christmas, the holidays,

So I love to just like I really just found
this new love of la so I really want.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
To, Like I just want to lay as much as possible.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
And I like looking like a hobbit, like I like
just like throwing my hair in a clip and like
not wearing makeup. But I did a lot of Christmasy
things and like holiday things leading up, Like we went
to like the boat parade, and I was trying I
find a nutcracker around town to go see, but I didn't,
So I failed myself in that.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
But did you get all your shopping done already? Like
you're done? No? Oh okay, Yeah, I haven't done a
single thing.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Single thing. We finish the kids and that's about the
extent of it.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Yeah, I'm a little overwhelmed.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Yeah it's okay.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
I'll get it done. I always do. This is no different.
I think I just feel two weeks in Japan, come
back and now I'm like.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
You know what, I bothers me though every year I
tell myself I'm gonna do better next year, Like.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
I'm gonna plan ahead.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
It's at the end of September I'm gonna start thinking
about things. I'm gonna start getting things. I'm gonna start
wrapping things so that I don't feel this way because
I really want to just like not have to worry.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
About that stuff these two weeks.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Like I really want to like unplug an unwind and
not have the stress of the presence.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
And I never do it every year. Same, it's annoying.
Why can't I do that for myself?
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Do you exchange gifts? Do you and Robbie exchange gifts?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
We typically do, And that's the plan this year. But
I'm like, I have no idea what to get.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Him, like truly no clue. I know he's a simple guy.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
He is a simple He's so simple.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
I'm like, what do I was thinking about getting some
like barbecues, tools or something.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Like it's like a man gift.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Well, I also we like readed our backyard and stuff,
and so I found this really cool heater like outdoor
heater and it's really chic and you can either have
it standing straight on or it can like fold out
and be like over the table. And it's plugin, so
there's no propaine or anything needed. And so I asked Haley.
I was like because all her family was wanting to
(06:43):
get me something, and I was like, can you just
all go in on this because I don't need stuff
and I don't like people wasting their money and spending
money on me if I don't need it. And so
I was like, this is something I'm excited about. She's like,
are you sure? Yeah, I'm stoked. So when we got
back from hand that night, because we laid it at like
two pm and we didn't want to go to sleep
(07:04):
and mess up our schedule, I like, built the built
the night, I mean the heater and everything, and it's
amazing that I will send it to you. It's incredible.
YA would use it so much.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
All the time I was frigid out in my backyard.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
I'm likeazing, Well, what prompted it is that at Halloween
we had rented I mean Halloween Thanksgiving we rented heaters
and they left them over the weekend and we ate
outside and had one of them on, and I was like,
oh my gosh, this is so fun being outside and
not being miserably cold. Yeah, so I'm really excited. No,
(07:39):
it's just a plug it. Yes, it's amazing. She was
not a cheap girl, but she.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Is worth it very Renting them is so expensive.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
I'm like, even renting them, I will make up the money.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
I know, when we were doing Thanksgiving, Robbie's like, we
don't need to spend money on heaters. I'm like, we
absolutely do, and I was like, I think we need
to buy some because like this is so crazy, Like, yeah,
why are we buying a heater.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
For Valentine's Day? I'm gonna be asking you for another one.
So like you talk about getting stuff that's like a vacuum,
like it's exciting as an adult, I.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Know, but I'm like, I don't want to be in
that phase of my relationship where we're like buying each
other like vacuums, and like you.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Could do it then also a cool piece of bracelet
or something. I don't know what is Robby, Like.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
You've been really wanting new pillowcases, like every time.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Exciting. I love a new pillowcase. Get him a silk
pillow case.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
I don't even think he wants the sill phone.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
He just wants it because like we change our pillowcases
every night, so we put it on a new pillowcase
every night. We just have a ton of pillowcases.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
But they have like, wow, every single night.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Yeah, because Sonny like gets on our pillows and.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Kind of gross.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
That's insane. What but do you wash your sheets every day? No,
just the case, just winning the poop the sheets. But
he's changing his pillow case every night. Sure, that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Let me tell you this is not something that he
would do.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
This is a Tanya thing. Okay, yeah, it's not like he.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
How many pillow cases are you gonna need to that's
I gotta get a lot of pillowcases.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
But our pillowcases have like they're like ripped. I mean,
I don't even know. These are from like when I
was in college. Like we just like combined all of
our pillowcases when we like.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Got together and even like uniform pillow cases.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
No wow, thrill.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Yeah, we have the ones that like belong with the
sheets and stuff. But there's four of those, so we
go through those in two days.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
I have collected my silk pillowcases, which are like they're expensive,
so I keep them, but every now and then I'll
order when I'm like I need fresh ones, I'll order
us fresh one. So now we have a little container
that just has our silk pillowcases. It's amazing.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Wow, you know I should get a silk pillow. Everybody
keeps telling me about this.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
You should definitely have them one, I know for your
hair and extensions and everything. I know you should look
into that. I'll get to one. A monogram. You're in
on it, thank you so much. Yeah, so gifts her
gifts are it's hard. I also like, I'm like, what
do I get Haley? I got her a diamond ring, yeah,
a trip to Japan.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Like it's too much.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
Now, what do you want?
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (10:16):
I also two of the gifts actually got her for Christmas.
It was like a sweater and already.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Got her her gifts for Christmas.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Well, I got her sweater and jeans and I was like,
she'll probably want to wear these in Japan, and she
did wear them on our proposal day. So I'm like,
I just need I like to have her for her
to have something to unwrap, yeah, under the tree. So
I just am like trying to get creative and what
to do for that.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
So a cute ornament would be nice. One one year
I got Robbie like a white Bronco Christmas tree ornament
and like he loved it. It was like five ninety
nine on Amazon and he loved it.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
When so at the Four Seasons we they had all
these ornaments and they had like four seasons on them
and stuff, and we're like, that'd be so special to
have as like a memory. And they weren't for sale,
so we we were like, could we get one of those?
And they brought us two of them, so we have
two ornaments.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Well we should have done that without her knowing because
you could wrap that.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
Shoot. Yeah, so wish Mill can be out on the
streets shopping.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Getting an ornament every year is very We started doing
that like the last couple of years, like making a
point to like like December first we go to ornament
shopping and talk about a wild married life activity. Uh,
it's really fun, like like yeah, we just went to Hallmark.
I got a little the Heat Miser from the year
with out of Santa Claus. I don't know if you guys
know the Heat Miser.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
He's mister Green Christmas.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
He's mister He's got fire for hair.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
People know what I'm talking about from the seventies. But
I got a little guy I think Allison got a
little mouse riding on a sledge that looks like a button.
It's fun. It's fun to do that.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
They're still Hallmark stores.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Oh, there's still Hallmarks at the mall m.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
A L L.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
I haven't seen one of the I love the Hallmic
story is so fun.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
I know, it's so nostalgia.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
There's one close to us in Sherman Oaks.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
At Sherman Oaks Fashion Square.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
With a Hallmark stories I believe. Yeah, yeah, today.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
I go to the one the Santa Anita Mall, and
they're very nice there every year when you go, yes, yes, yeah,
they know us now. But it's a fun tradition. I
think to do that. And now we've got our tree
was like full of crazy.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
Old Yeah, I know, and that's what I want because
it takes a long time to make a collection of ornaments.
You know, mine are pretty generic. Do y'all do like
(12:50):
a traditional kind of Thanksgiving esque food situation on Thanksgiving?
I mean on Christmas? I do you have turkey and
stuffing and all the things.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
It depends on where we're doing it.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
If my sister hosts Christmas, her husband my brother in
law like does like a whole feast. But if it's
just like if this year's just gonna be like me
and my parents would probably like go out to dinner somewhere.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
Oh nice.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
We don't really have something that we do. The only
thing we do every year on Christmas is decorate Christmas cookies.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
That's fun. Yeah, I love a tradition. We were just
talking about like traditions and what are the traditions that
you had growing up, And I couldn't think of anything
like specific that we did, Like we would do cookies
and stuff, but and decorate and like hang the ornaments
and stuff. But I couldn't think of you know, people
will be like we go in a nighttime ride.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
And look at all the Christmas like on Santa's lap, Like, yeah,
my only thing my memory is of Christmas was like
we couldn't open our presents until everybody had woken up
and had their coffee and breakfast.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Like that was kind of like the rule. It is
just like nobody opens gifts.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
You can go into your stocking, but like no gifts
are opened until everybody's had breakfast and coffee. And so
by that time everybody has a breakfast coffee, we're all
sitting by the tree and then everybody goes one by
one youngest to oldest wow opening a gift that was
kind of like our thing.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
We were like we did have to wait till everyone
was up, but they would wake it whoever was up
first and wake us up at like four thirty.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
It'd be like also the rule like you can't wake
anybody up.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
We did not have that rule, and there was no
like as soon as we went into the to the
room where all the gifts were, we just it was
like free for all. My parents did.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
I can rip it like you all just like went
to town.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
We just went to town. My parents were not like
gonna make us all wait.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
One by one, yeah, one by one, but yeah, I.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Mean I feel like that makes sense so that everyone
feels like they get there do attention. But I never
needed that, Like I never wanted actually wanted to enjoy
open my gifts like and be in my own space
without the attention.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
I think it was like because we all got each
other gifts, what I mean, so it was like this
presence from like my brother, this person is from so
it's like everybody could see the other person opening up
like their gifts gift.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
I think it's like nice.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
But I think I'm thinking about when we were kids
we didn't bite each other gifts we did.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
My parents would give us money and we would like, oh.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
That's cute street.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Yeah, yeah, what do y'all do for food?
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Trying to remember we don't do like where we did
a turkey one year. It was kind of rough.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Usually Turkey's fantastic.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
We were figuring out how to do is this the
two of us?
Speaker 4 (15:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (15:25):
On Christmas last year we did the Feast of Seven Potatoes.
That was really fun. We cooked seven different types of potatoes.
I think we talked about on the podcast here. And
I don't know what we're going to do this year,
because you know, it's hard to not al the restaurants
through open We got to figure something out.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Yeah, so shoot, you're.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Right, Yeah, I did not factor that in.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Yeah, there's a there's a barbecue place and Minrobia. It's
advertising that. They're like, we're gonna have breakfast burritos on
Christmas Day and New Year's Day. And I was confused
by that, and I can't stop thinking about it. I
might try the barbecue plays sounds good, so good, but yeah,
we actually kind of figure that out.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
So I don't know what we're going to do. I
know I don't know what we're doing either.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Let me tell you what hits on a Christmas morning?
What a cinnamon Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
We always I feel like we always had some version
of a cinnamon role in my house.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
I'm like trying to think because like now, obviously, like
my step kids are Jewish and so they've never celebrated
raided Christmas until like I came into the picture. And
it's like so cute because people will be like, when
do we get to open our socks?
Speaker 3 (16:31):
And I'm like, oh, oh, they're.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Stalking, you know, like they don't, that's like not what
they the stockings?
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Yeah, like he calls them socks, Like well, yeah, so cute,
so cute.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
And so I'm like trying to figure out kind of
like because we've had them every other year, so we've
only celebrated I think like two or three Christmases with them,
but they celebrate Hanakah, so it's like we do both.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
But I'm on a try.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Like the one thing that had every year in my
stocking was this like amazing gingerbread, like man, that I
only got in my stocking every year, and it was
so delicious, and so I'm like I want to have
that I still haven't figured it out what it is
I want to have like a one thing that is
like every year on Christmas from me. Yeah, and I
still haven't done that. And it's been like I've spent
(17:20):
three Christmases with them.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Maybe this is the eerie you begin, But.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
What is it that's so like my mom in my
stocking always gave me like a balsa wood airplane, like
those little like lightwood plane, like she still does like
when I go visit, you know, we go up in
like January to like see her and give her Christmas
gifts and she'll still give me that plane. And like
it's a very fun.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Yeah, Like there's something sweet about like have just getting
that one thing. Yeah, And I was I was thinking
about doing like a gingerbread cookie, but neither of them
like gingerbread cookies, so like that.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Wouldn't be hit the same way.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Yeah, maybe like candies or chocolate that they like.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Yeah, there's like this specific chocolate store, but I get
chocolate from them like it throughout the year, so it's
not like as But yeah, there's something I could figure
it out.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
Yeah, twenty twenty six is gonna be here.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
You have all your to think about it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Well,
we love you so much. If you're celebrating Christmas, the holidays,
wherever you are, we love you.
