Ep. #18- Managing The Chaos of The Holidays

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas… but with some extra chaos thrown in! Listen in to today's episode to hear all about the Christmas chaos that ensues around The Inn Between. Enjoy stories and life lessons from Christmas past, present, and future. We're talking about the overextension that happens so often during the holiday season and those feelings of guilt that sometimes come with saying no to events. Especially when you're married and trying to split every holiday into two, it's hard to find ways to make everyone happy. On the more festive side of things, we're talking about what's worked for us to make the holidays more enjoyable for all. We're so excited to catch up with all the friends and family this holiday season, drink hot chocolate, and look at all the buildings decked out in Christmas lights.
