In this episode, we dive into the topic of holiday traditions - how they've evolved for our family over the years, and the importance of finding what works best for you. Whether it's adjusting the timing, scaling back on gifts, or simply focusing on quality time together, the holidays are about being present with loved ones, not perfection. I'd be curious to hear how other families have navigated this - what are some of your favorite traditions?

Welcome to Becoming Chick and Pop... A podcast about our family, past and present, FOR our family in the future. We discuss family, marriage, faith, and all the things that made us... Chick and Pop
Our story begins like this: My closest friend in college was obsessed with this guy....
31 years and counting
WHY WE ARE MAKING THIS PODCAST
First and foremost, for our family... the way it looks right now, and for the next generation who might want to know a little more about their family's history.
Maybe this is just for anyone who wants to listen in on the wins and losses of a married couple who have been at it for over 30 years.
Maybe your own family isn't very big yet, or it's spread all over the world and you just want to follow along with our family...be our guest.
Make no mistake, we DO NOT think we are marriage experts... BUT we have been married a looooong time and we're still best friends.
We DO NOT have degrees in parenting and definitely don't think we were perfect parents, BUT we reeeeally LIKE our adult kids and feel very fortunate to have them as friends now.
We ARE NOT theologians, BUT we do love Jesus and are inspired by our God on a regular basis.
We ARE NOT perfect people, but we hope to learn from our past, from OUR experience, and to learn from the experience of other people, and from the good, bad and ugly of our own family through the years.
