  Speaker 3: I think we are this year though, right, but that's
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: still not stress. I'm just gonna get you guys a
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: couple of gifts, but I don't.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: There's no stress of well are we doing gifts now?
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Mom wanted to draw names, and I'm like, there's three
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: of us. Mom, let's just get one extra GIF. If
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: you're gonna get one for me, just get one for Easton.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Or if I draw your name, like, what's one extra?
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah you got a big deal but easy, but yeah,
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: no no stress, I think because it's everything's just so
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: easy and planned out, like I know so too. We
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: talked about it on the other jam Packed even though
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: we don't like it, but it I kind of like
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: that OHI is coming up, and then after OHI we
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: go to Palm Spring, so it's like there's I know
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: everything that's gonna happen, so there's no stress. So I
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: guess that's kind of been it. No money stress, yeah,
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: no money's stress for gifts, that's great.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: The only thing I miss is just some snow.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Some snow.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Like coming from Hawaii and then getting here it's
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: it's snow.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I agree. It's so funny because when you live
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: in Utah and it's snow and you're like watching movies
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: that take place and you're like, wow, California sounds so warm.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: I wish we were spending it there, and then you
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: get here and you're like snow. But that goes back to,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: like you just we want what we don't have in
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: the moment, and I think that's something that a lot
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: of people, except for my mother, could work on, because
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: she seems to just be comfortable and content at all time.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Look at her, you look beautiful.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: She is just mentally always in Hawaii no, she really is.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: I don't. I'm not really stressed this yesterday.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Can we just talk about one thing?
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Always?
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: She looks at the both of us, and she goes,
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: I forgot my norse Strom's credit card. Why, she goes,
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: I had Uno cards and I was putting them away
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: with the credit card and I just put it into
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: the Uno box and.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: She goes, whatever, and she just starts hulaying again. And
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: this was yesterday.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: I remember that I had the credit card in my
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: hand when I was picking up the beach house, and
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: I made a mental note, I better not lose this,
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: and sure enough I stuck it in the Uno box
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: and put it.
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: In the cabinet.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: It'll be there next year.
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so I did call and get a new one.
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: I love that for you.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: I know, you look so comfortable. I find it weird
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: when when you're like set to be on the podcast.
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: It's the visual. I think. When there's no cameras on me.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: You're comfortable.
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: I'm chill.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Should just be a camera on you.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: I know I'm scarred from eighth grade. We talked about
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: that already, about well, let's.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Not turn this into a therapy. We're not here to
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: cure your eighth grade traumas. Moving on, just kidding, we
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: can talk about it.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: You're here, What is your.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: What's your biggest stressor?
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't have one.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Why am I not shocked by that?
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: I don't know. I live in the moment. I don't.
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: I don't look at ahead. Just chilling, that's just chill.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Even when it comes to buying Christmas gifts, you don't
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: think ahead. You just kind of if you're at the story,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: no plan.
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: Getting my daughter already know, want to give my son.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: I don't have a lot of presents to buy for
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: and I'm so excited to give Ocean her present, talking
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: about it for days.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Well, we both want to state claim on this gift.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: And then Santa wrote me a letter and he also
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: wants to state claim on the gift. And I think
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: he might bring it.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: To you, yep, And I can't wait to reveal it
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: after the holiday. Yeah, it's gonna because it's it's going
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: to be a game changer.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah it is. We love to think about gifts and
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: go which one's going to be a learning experience as well?
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Which one is going to keep this room clean?
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: All right? So this person wrote in and said I
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: often think about if this will be my last Christmas
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: with someone and I don't know it. We've spoken about
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: that before.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: I wish you wouldn't have read that.
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: Sorry you have issues with time?
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Oh have?
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: You can totally relate.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I may have to be medicated for
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: that point.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: You really do. But there was something and it was
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: like if you're it was like my age. I don't
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: know how it knows for you page, but it was like,
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: you only have like Mac sixty summers.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: I was like, oh my god, that's.
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: Down that road.
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: I can't think about it even because I don't have
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: sixty summers left.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Oh god, stop all right, moving on, moving, moving on.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: My oldest is thirteen, and for the first year his
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Christmas list had zero toys. That would be hard. So
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: he wants electronics, probably electronics, clothes, close, shoes like Jordan's.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Now I'm stressed.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: This episode is going to crumble me.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: No, can I tell you there are like Mom said,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: I am funny about time, and even when you had
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: the scooteries and I was like, I'm having so much fun,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, what if Eason doesn't come back on
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: a scooter? What if something really bad happens. Oh my gosh.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Then I'll never want to come back to Hawaii. Oh
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: my gosh, I'll never think about the holiday the same.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: And then you're in a rabbit.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: I dig until I can't get on the old bottom.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: That's when God steps in and I'm like God, And
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: then I think about it. I'm like, well, my dad
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: died and he seems to be fine.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: I'm like, happier than all of us.
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he's cheering his song lass of Love.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: He did love a good He never did phronsie bottles.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, later on in life, but he had his box
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: of phronsie. I don't know.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: I like how you guys call it phronsie to make.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: It a bit more.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Stress. Money after after paying anxiety, love lights and new
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: and old traditions. And she's listening to in sync Merry
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Christmas and Happy Holidays on repeat. That is what is up.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: I think that's one of my most favorite Christmas songs
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: is Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays. Just such a feel good song.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: And I love because I love its you his love
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: and everything's okay. Merry Christmas Holidays, yes, girl. Money stresses
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: are a lot for everybody. Many people that wrote in
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: they're stressed about that, And that's where I encourage you
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: to talk to your family. There's no reason to give
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: gifts if you are stressed for money, plan a fun dinner.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: You could literally do Postmates and like Lisa says, everything
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: costs money. You know, even if you want to save
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: money and you want to stay home, you got to
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: keep the lights on, you got to order food. I
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: totally get it, but you got to feed yourself and
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: keep the lights on. Anyway, don't add the extra part
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: of like a gift have something at your house.
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: But I don't think they're talking about that. I think
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: they're talking about the S A N T A.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Gifts Well that part as well. But that's why I'm saying,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: don't do it for adults.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: What do you.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: Mean we don't get gifts for each other, but for her?
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Right, save save, save where you can absolutely and put
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: that money that you do have into something for your
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: children the kids.
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, or have some fun traditional dinners and invite people over,
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: and that one to them.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: I think I am not stressed because yes, we're doing gifts,
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: but it's like we've all talked about it, so I
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: feel like that's why I'm not stressed.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Well, there's three of us, hello, Yeah, and I just
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: find I remember, you know, back in the day when
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Dad started having money troubles and Christmas and Holidays got
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: very very stressful, and I would put like my little
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: modeling money gig, the money that I made for modeling
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: gigs together and try to make it like a special
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Christmas for my mom and for Easton and write Dad's name,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: because Dad did go from being like the bread winner
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: to like really having nothing in two thousand and eight,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: and people experience that. And I remember looking at the
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: holidays being like, I hate this. This is this was
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: like the best time of my whole life when I
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: was a kid, and now it's just pressure and stress.
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: Well, can I do you know what? I remember? You
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: came home from a modeling gig and they paid you
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: in cash.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: Do you remember when you found it out and it
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: was like a couple of thousand dollars and you gave
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: each of us hundred bucks?
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: I do remember? Really? Yeah? Wow?
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: I remember that you came out and you went you
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: had it like this, and you kept going like this,
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: and you go one for you, one for you, one
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: for you, and you're like, oh yeah, yeah.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: I just find that as someone who has been through
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: not having money when I lived back in Utah, or
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: my dad not having money and then moving out to
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: LA and having to really be on a budget and
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: my you know, paying rent and paying bills and you
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: just didn't have a lot to then kind of getting
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: on my feet and having things. Let me tell you,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: things do not bring how happiness in the slightest money
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: We've talked about this money makes the stress go down
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: a bit because you don't worry about certain things. Take
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: the pressure off. Talk to the adults in your life.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Don't give gifts. Talk to your friends. I really don't.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: I don't have the money to take gifts this year.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Can we please not?
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: No one needs anything, and instead of a gifts, bring
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: a plate of something and to create an experience.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: That's how I feel. Well.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: I love that our way that I think so too,
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: like the friends giving the.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: Friends miss like, just do that, you bring a bowl.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: You don't have to get gifts. Yeah, the gift is
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: your presence.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: I fully agree. And by the way, you're going to
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: remember that way more than you're going to remember the
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: necklace that Nancy got for you back you lost you
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: know twenty twenty nineteen or whatever that you probably did
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: lose or you know whatever. It just you see that
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: things just aren't that freaking cool. Yeah, my sister and
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: I are not speaking, and I don't know why she
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: and her six grown kids will not be there. That's
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: another hard thing is when people start getting older and
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: rifts start happening, and the holidays come around and you
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: start reminiscing about all the times that you had together
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: and things aren't the same.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: Well, kids start getting older and her kids, like her
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: sister with the how many kids, she has.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Six grown kids.
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: But she doesn't grow.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Oh, but the speaking thing is weird.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: But like that's the other thing is like she has
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: that maybe she's wanting to do something with her own
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: family now.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: But they but they're not speaking. It's not just about well,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: by the way, I know plenty of people where you
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: say one thing and some people just ic you out
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: and you're like, hello, what's going on? There are people
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: who are queens and kings of doing that the silent
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: treatment where you don't know what's going on. Kyle Richards,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Kyle Richards is being accused of that. I don't know.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: She seems to have spoken her mind quite a bit
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: in the last seasons that I've seen, so I don't
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: know what happens off camera. We will never know. Getting
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: gifts for my partner's fam I don't love giving generic
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: gifts that can be for ever, that can be for anyone.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: I feel this so hard because I am the worst
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: gift giver on the planet.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: I always overthink the gift giving exactly.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: And now you got to get it for your partner's family. Ooh,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: that's intimidating.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: That's a gift card, gift card, gift card.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but she doesn't want it to be for anyone.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: I don't think that's what I recommend, you know.
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: I remember about our Christmases too. What can I just say?
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I loved our bingo nights.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: That was so much fun. So we would go to
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: my grandma's house and there were like over.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Twenty of us. Yeah, it was a lot.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: We and each family. Each person would bring a gift
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: and when you got bingo, you would go and pick
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: your gift, and then after everyone had one, you would
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: open them and then the trading started and you had
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: to get bingo in order to get a different gift.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: That was a lot of fun. I love that, so
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: I only need to have like ten more kids to
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: make it fun.
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: Ye, but you know what I'd do.
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: I'd buy things that I wanted and I'd always get my.
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: Stuff back at the end of the night.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Why does that not surprise me?
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: I know, why didn't you just buy it for yourself
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: and I'll play the game? She likes.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: It?
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Or do I have to go back and buy it again?
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was stupid double pay.
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: But I got I remember I bought licorice and no
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: one wanted it, but there was dollars hidden in it.
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: That's genius.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you got it? What do you guys?
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: Got it?
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Good enough? Balling?
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: I read that one already. This person is they're listening
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: to so Mom. Were you here when I told you
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: what the bonus is about. We're talking about everything stressor's
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: favorite Christmas tradition, favorite song. This person said, the Gwen
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Stefani Christmas album is so good, So that will be
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: downloaded because no one loves a good Christmas album more
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: than Ocean Kent. This one is. She's just cutting straight
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: to it. I'm broken. It's stressing me out. Fail you
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: by the way, most people I don't know how anybody
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: the cost of living, let alone adding on Christmas that
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: is specifically for some just about giving gifts. I want
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: to get back to why we have Christmas, but.
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: Can I tell you something.
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: I think it's horrific because people put things on credit
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: cards and they can't pay it off, so they pay
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: the minimum. And if you look at how long it's
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: going to take you to pay off that credit card,
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: it can be thirteen years paying the minimum and the
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: interest is twenty nine percent or thirty five percent.
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: People will never get out of debt.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: You're buying like one hundred dollars credit card. Yeah, you have.
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: To put stuff on a credit card, don't buy it. Yeah,
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: if you can't pay it off at the end of
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: the month, don't buy it.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: I'm happy you said that, because so people they will
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: put one hundred dollars gift on their credit card, and
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: that one hundred dollars gift that they thought with everything
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: is coming out to be like one hundred and ninety
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: eight dollars with how long it takes them to pay back.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right, it's actually costing me.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: It cost credit cards.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Well, I think that I love this so much that
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: I think that she should just write I'm broke and
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: it's stressing me out and put it in a box
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: and give it to everybody, because I would lack my
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: ass off, and that's a gift I would remember.
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: Forever to go. No, please look at Christmas lights with
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: your family one night.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying, Like we got to take the
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: pressure off. It's not about the gifts. Some people do
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: celebrate Christmas because, as the Family Court system says, it
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: is a commercial holiday. I was not raised as it
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: being a commercial holiday. Did we have all like the
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: whistles and bells of like, like did Santa Claus come
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: to my house?
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: Yes?
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: He did, ocean. But I just always remember things like that.
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: Or make Christmas cookies or like just do some fun things.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: I agree, very early pregnant with my third wondering if
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: I should tell the fam at Christmas.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: That would be though, you have to, that's what you
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: have to.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: I have chill.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know how you do it, or you
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: have like everybody open at the same time, or do
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: one or like your mom and dad open it in
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: front of everybody.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: But that is a Christmas that you'll forever remember.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: I know. I'm thinking back when Cheryl announced her pregnancy.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Christmas at thirty eight.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, we were at their house, but it's it
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: was it.
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but we lived at thirty six.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: And she wanted I opened it and she was like,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: read it. And I was so terrified of reading in
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: front of people. And she was like, just read it,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: and I'm like I can't. I just forget how to read.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Give it to someone else who read it. I ended
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: up reading it because she pressured me. But then it
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: was totally worth it because it's worth the pressure. I
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: love delivering the news.
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: So cool.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Oh, this girl is listening to It's a Christmas sleigh

• 17:17
  Speaker 1: been stressing me out. Actually why because it's the first
• 17:21

• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Back to the gifts, don't overthink it.
• 17:24

  Speaker 1: Oh, Lauren loved Lisa loved it too, because it meant
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: she was opening something.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: Lisa loves a good gift.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: Lisa is the most stressful person in the world to
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: have in your life.
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: I love but you know what I love to know
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: what words of affirmation?
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Oh, so now we have to do both. So that
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: means she expects a good card with her gift.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: Speaking of the card, Easton gives me a happy happy Birthday, Mom.
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: Card doesn't even write she got beforehand. And then I.
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: Told him, but Mom, it has such a good message.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: I had a feeling.
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: I told her I was her birthday bag.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: That's what you should have opened the card with, Happy birthday,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: old bag, that's.
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: What he calls me.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you where my stress lies with Sosa
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Christmas rolling around even her birthday, I'm starting to stress
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: about because I'm like, why do I feel like I
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: just want to have like an intimate get together, like
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: she's not gonna remember. However, and then I think back
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, but then when she gets older, she's
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: gonna look at Ocean's first Christmas, Ocean's first uh birthday
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: and be like, are you joking?
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're not joking.
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: We found out that it was not worth the money,
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: and we're sorry we didn't do it for you, kid.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: But yeah, no, but you have a little bit more
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: money in your college.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Also March April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December. Yes,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: I did have to couch. She was nine months at
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: her first Christmas.
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah, not four different.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: I think it's way different. The extra the out of month.
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: Get a couple of things that she needs and call
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: it a day. She needs some new bibs, she needs some.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: That would be fun to open.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: What a rip roaring gift.
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: Well, like, she's gonna know.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: But I think it's just so exciting that looking back
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: at this time, I had just found out that I
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: was pregnant. Same with this girl who's celebrating her the
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: first Christmas with her baby born a day after SOS. Yes,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: it's just wild to be like last year was when
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: we were like, oh wow, and you go next year
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: at this time, as my mom would say, next year
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: at this timee, we're gonna have a new baby. And
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: the time passed and she's here. Why are you doing that?
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: She doesn't cry. Ever, I didn't say she did. Oh
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: I thought you went yeah.
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: Oh no, I was excited.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: No, I'm very excited.
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: Stress. She's an angel baby. We have two angel babies.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: By the yay, you are an angel baby. Stress because
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: we won't see our daughter who's two thousand miles away.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Haven't seen her in over a year. Oh, this is
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: when I adore electronics and I'm like not seeing someone
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: because here's the thing. Yes, I love the fact that
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: you can FaceTime people now so you feel like you
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: got but it's the touch, right Like they haven't hugged
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: their daughter in over a year and she's two thousand
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: miles away. That's sad, It's very sad. But these are
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: the things that people think about when the holidays approach.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: She's not a mission or just elsewhere does it say?
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: It doesn't say, But I just find it to be
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: like not everyone is so lucky to have their their
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: family in the same place, and not only that, speaking
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: and liking the family that's in the same place.
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: That's so true.
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: I mean I when I moved I here, a piece
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: of my heart was missing, just because Easton was in Utah,
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: so well, they would imagine.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: There was a Christmas he didn't come out.
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and I got to see him.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was like two years ago.
• 21:24
