On this episode, Maggie and Aubrey recap how for the first time, they took both of their families to the Christmas Tree Farm to pick out their trees together. They both found what they think is going to be the perfect tree. There were snowballs thrown, snowmen built, and hot cocoa drank. It was a fun time had by all!

How do you get your kids involved with giving during the Christmas season? This can be tricky especially when it involves taking your kids into a store, but it seems like Maggie has tried all kinds of strategies with her kids and she has some advice for you. What has worked well for her and what does she recommend avoiding?

During Decades Diary, Maggie and Aubrey reminisce about how Santa showed at their homes as a child and what old and new traditions they are carrying forward for their children. But also, Jesus is the reason for the season, so how are they incorporating this aspect into their Christmas season?

Christmas decorating with kids, did you survive?! Maggie and Aubrey are minimalists when it comes to decorating for Christmas these days and haven't really bought new Christmas decorations in years. What they have is working and they just don't have the mental capacity to prioritize buying new decorations. As moms we are already have so much to do around the holidays and buying new Christmas decorations just isn't a priority in this phase of life! If including the kids, just remember it takes more time, more patience, and items may break.

Of course they end the episode with Joy Jar. Maggie filled her cup by pitching a Christmas Play idea to her pastor. She is so excited to work on this project with her dad and see her own kids in the play. Aubrey filled her cup by selling some gentle used items on Facebook market place and discusses how this journey has been rewarding for her, but not in the financial sense.
