This week we're talking about Christmas traditions! We talk about some of the traditions we had growing up, some traditions we'd like to start or have acquired along the way, and share some interesting (and equally haunting) information about Christmas traditions in the countries our family originated from. Merry Christmas from these sisters to y'all!

With Christmas right around the corner, this week we talk all things gift-giving! Giving you the full inside scoop on how we go about finding and giving gifts with our own personal lists as inspiration!

This week we dive into all things American Girl Doll! We divulge our own experiences and personal obsessions, the history of the company, and what the company did for the good of girls everywhere as a whole. We also touch on the ICONIC "Care and Keeping of You" book that helped us through our preteen years for sure. Other things discussed in this week's episode are what a real New York Style cheesecake tastes like, Golden Bachelor SPOILERS, the best of the best Christmas albums, including the one and only Mannheim Steamroller, and CAUTION for your young listeners and LITTLE EARS, (not so) hot takes on your Elf on the Shelf.

On this week's pilot episode, Erin and Allie discuss their origin story as enemied sisters turned friends, and their journey to starting this podcast. They discuss Thanksgiving 2023, happy meal toys, the Royal Family, becoming a real Star Wars fan, and what (and what not) to put down the garbage disposal.
