In today’s episode, I am sharing 4 holiday stories of home from guests featured this year on the podcast. You will hear from Emily Baxter, Charity Gibson, Cara Semler and Bess Hawthorne as they share their Christmas memories, traditions, recipes, favorites and more.

You will also hear a special piece from former guest, Kristen Howard, called Skipping Christmas. And I am sharing more about Traditions & Time Together with a segment on setting up 12 Dates of Christmas with your husband. It is a very full episode, so I’m sure you will gather lots of ideas to inspire your own holiday homemaking.
