In this episode, Corrine and Neil talk about why Christmas traditions are so important and how they help kids feel a sense of belonging, meaning, and home. They share how traditions become “anchors” for families, why familiar foods, smells, and rituals make Christmas feel magical, and how simple moments often become the memories children cherish most.

They also open up about their biggest early-marriage misunderstandings, which came from unspoken expectations on Christmas Eve, and how it taught them to communicate clearly, blend their families’ traditions, and avoid holiday stress. With honesty and humor, they walk through what helps couples stay on the same page and create a Christ-centered Christmas without perfectionism or overwhelm.

Along with favorite listener traditions, Corrine and Neil offer practical pillars for making the season meaningful, including anchoring in faith, embracing familiar cues, choosing fun for kids, and letting everyone participate even when it is messy or imperfect. It is a heartfelt guide for anyone wanting to simplify, connect, and build Christmas traditions that truly last!
