Episode Details

Happy Christmas Eve Eve! This week we're keeping it light and festive with a replay of one of our favorite past episodes, our favorite things, originally episode 72. We're sharing everything from holiday traditions and gift-giving tips to the simple, everyday joys that make life feel a little sweeter, work related and not.

We pulled up our community AI search feature to see what Hustle Humbly listeners already know are our favorite things (clean countertops, bacon, real wood-burning fires, and getting our hair washed all made the list), then updated it with what's new for us this year, from a thumb ring Alissa bought on a girls' trip to Waco to a two-tier lazy Susan that's changing Katy's medicine cabinet game. We also get into holiday traditions, from wine bottle name-drawing games to opening gifts youngest to oldest, and share some go-to gift ideas that don't require reinventing the wheel every single year.

Wherever you are this week, we hope you're feeling happy, healthy, and a little bit rested. Merry Christmas, y'all.

Here's what we cover in this episode:
-Our current favorite things, from a thumb ring to fresh sourdough
-Simple joys that make the list every time: clean countertops, bacon, naps, and a good book
-A two-tier lazy Susan hack for organizing a medicine cabinet, gifted to Katy's parents
-Holiday gift-giving traditions, including a family wine game with personalized labels
-Why opening gifts youngest to oldest can be more fun (and slower) than tearing in all at once
-Go-to mass gift ideas: local spice shops, address stamps, and closing gift paintings as Christmas gifts
-A funny in-law tradition involving an ever-growing collection of Santa statues
-Community service traditions during the holidays, including Christmas presents for local schools
