Some key takeaways from this episode include:

• Unpopular opinion: Christmas Day is a tad overrated. There’s something about the anticipation and lead up to Christmas Eve that feels so exciting, and that’s where the magic really happens!

• If you’re ditching some traditional elements of the holidays this year, we love it! Lee is forgoing two Christmas trees and tons of gifts for the kids this year in favor of one tree and one gift of concert tickets, AKA an experience they can all enjoy in 2024.

• Do that thing that you are afraid to do. We are always shocked at how the hardest things we’ve done have paid off so incredibly well. Going into 2024, we hope you don’t avoid the things that scare you and instead face them head on.
