Each December 25th, most moms look at a living room full of scattered wrapping paper and vow to do less next year. Then Black Friday rolls around. But can you really downshift on how much Santa brings once a baseline has been established?
 This week Amy and Margaret talk about managing the holiday craziness. (Disclaimer: for both of us, that does mean Christmas, although we feel the pain of the Hanukkah Harriets out there, we really do). Here’s some of what’s discussed in this episode:
  * how to get your kids more involved in holiday preparations— at any age
 * the very appealing “three kings, three gifts” rule* how to carefully consider any new holiday “traditions” before instating them (we’re looking at you, Elf on the Shelf)
* how the Laws of Holiday Attrition can work in your favor* how Amy uses this cookie recipe every December and it’s easy and amazing
* what to do when your spouse gives you a Pajamagram
