What The Holidays Mean To Us and How to Make Them Meaningful

In this episode of Excuse My Grandma, Kim and Grandma Gail are navigating the holiday season in Florida. They discuss the magic of the season, from the rush of Christmas lights to the warmth of family traditions, but not without some honest opinions on how festive they actually feel. Grandma gets nostalgic with an old story about how she wanted to celebrate Christmas as a child.

Curious about holiday gift-giving? Grandma shares her thoughts on timeless presents, from candles to jewelry, and the importance of being thoughtful over trendy. In the Grandma Report, Kim and Grandma also tackle the stresses of over-committing during the holidays and discuss how to set boundaries, deal with family drama, and embrace the chaos with humor. They discuss this Mel Robbins NYT clip. Grandma offers her wisdom on how to avoid holiday burnout, saying it’s okay to take a break.

The episode wraps up with The Rewind (Stranger Things recap) and Should We Bring It Back about old-school holiday décor, including vintage glass ornaments and the tradition of seeing The Nutcracker and the Rockettes in New York City. Kim and Grandma also share some fun holiday plans, emphasizing the beauty of giving back.
