It's been so fun sharing real-life friends with you during this Christmas season, and this week is no different – Megan Alexander and I have been friends since preschool! Today, we talk about her television show, Small Town Christmas, and children's book (inspired by the show), The Magic of a Small Town Christmas.
During this episode, Megan and I chat about how impactful it's been to tell stories from around the country as small towns share their traditions because they remember how to do things slower and aren't so easily caught up in all the busyness of it all. Allowing us all a peek inside traditions of their towns, Megan reminds us all that it's not all the big stuff we do during Christmas that creates memories, but rather the things with intention behind them.
In this episode, you'll hear:
🎄 Some of Megan and my memories from childhood
🎥 Filming in places like Branson, MO; Pigeon Forge, TN; and North Pole, AK
🎅🏾 Her favorite parts of filming + why she loves volunteers and impromptu Santas
🥰 The importance of the rretelling of old stories and traditions
