Feeling overwhelmed this Christmas season? You’re not alone. The pressure to buy, wrap, and “get it all done” can leave us spinning, stressed, and missing the whole point. In this heartfelt episode of Together, Unscripted: Love, Laughs, and Leftovers, Jenn and Danny invite you to take a deep breath and remember what truly matters.
With Christmas just days away, they share their most cherished family traditions—stories of saran wrap game chaos, childhood Nut Bread, and Christmas mornings with the Chipmunk Song on repeat. But these stories aren’t about extravagant gifts or outdoing someone else; they’re about the laughter, love, and togetherness that make the season unforgettable.
From pulling wagons uphill during freezing parades to decorating the tree while Chevy Chase crashes his sled in Christmas Vacation, Jenn and Danny remind us that the best memories often happen in the simplest moments. They even share how they taught their kids the joy of giving—like sponsoring families in need or volunteering at community dinners.
So, what really makes a holiday meaningful? Is it the biggest gift under the tree—or the moments spent together, smacking each other in a goofy family game (out of love, of course)?
If you’re feeling the weight of the season, this episode will inspire you to step back, reconnect, and embrace the joy that’s right in front of you.
Listen now for laughter, a little nostalgia, and a whole lot of heart—and join us in making this Christmas about memories, not “more stuff.”
