Holiday Q&A: Gift-giving rules, blending traditions & traveling with a 1 year old

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we’re answering YOUR holiday questions — from gift-giving rules to family traditions to surviving holiday travel with a 1-year-old. We’re talking what we’re getting Tate for Christmas (if you’ve been here since last year - you know the answer), our official stance on physical gifts (less is more), and the tiny things we’re doing to make the holidays feel magical in our house. Plus questions like: does Santa exist? (Easy answer: yes.) How we’re celebrating Chrismakkuh. And of course… what holiday traditions we hope will become our traditions as a family (and seriously — how did it end up being the Turkey Trot???) Plus: a Thanksgiving recap, holiday travel stories (please weigh in: do you think cats should be allowed on planes?!), and our best attempt at keeping Tate on schedule during holiday season (spoiler alert: you really cant). As always, LOVE YOU GUYS! Timestamps: 00:00:00 Welcome back to Two Parents & A Podcast! 00:11:15 Q&A: What are you getting Tate for Christmas? 00:14:58 Q&A: Thoughts on gift giving for kids?
