This Is Awkward – Festive special 

 

The weather is on the turn, the big brands have busted out their blockbuster style ads and festive tunes are playing in the shops. It can only mean one thing…yes Christmas is here. 

According to song, “It’s the most wonderful time of the year!”. But is it though? 

From tricky family dynamics, to present buying etiquette to dietary requirements, the most wonderful time of the year can also be absolutely fraught with awkwardness. 

Luckily, in this episode, Kristy and Lyanne chat to the award-winning Clinical Psychologist and writer Dr Emma Svanberg, (also known online as the Mumologist), who is on hand to help us all navigate this festive minefield. 

Our top 10 awkward festive conversations include: 

  1. Is Santa real? 
  2. Making chit chat with people you don’t normally spend time with 
  3. Navigating having your parenting on show 
  4. Being a guest in someone else’s house & following other people’s rules / traditions 
  5. How to be sensitive to people who don’t celebrate Christmas 
  6. Dietary requirements 
  7. Saying no (but embracing your community)
  8. Christmas loneliness 
  9. Mental load 
  10. Money
