78. Giving you holiday swaps, daddies, and intrusive thoughts

There’s nothing better than relaxing into the holiday season…unless you’re around family, of course. In this week’s episode, Alex and Jon deal with holiday drama from petty in-laws to boyfriends that will never become husbands. It would be a holiday miracle if everyone got along during this season but you can’t make everyone happy. Once you accept that the holidays come with drama, you can actually relax into the experience because you can’t have joy without a little bit of sadness.
