Are We the Grinch or the Griswolds This Year?

It’s our BSW Holiday Special — the one where Lisa and Josh talk about what it was like growing up without Christmas, how weird it felt watching other kids celebrate, and what the holidays look like for us now as adults (and parents) trying to figure it all out in real time.

We’re also diving into our “Holiday Power Couples” sibling showdown — Mariah Carey vs Kevin McCallister, Jack Skellington vs Batman, Clark Griswold vs John McClane.

Plus: the holiday characters we accidentally relate to now, the traditions we’re learning on the fly, and how midlife has turned December into equal parts magic and meltdown.

If your holiday energy is somewhere between The Grinch and Kate McCallister sprinting through the airport, welcome home.

New BSW every Thursday starting in 2026— come hang out in the festive chaos with us.
