HO HO HO and merry SEVENTH episode of 12 Weeks of Christmas the podcast! This week, we discuss some of my favorite and least favorite Christmas traditions regularly practiced in America! We go into the history of these traditions, and how they came to be what they are today. I also read some of the traditions you all told me you participate in with your families! Then, I read the best story of Christmas hope so far (grab the tissue box for this one my little gingerbread people). Please follow the show, and enjoy!
