Chit Chat 184 Holiday Mishaps, Masterclass Mix-ups. Happy Birthday Rachel in Ohio!

Surprisingly, reflecting on personal growth during New Year's resolutions can reveal just how much you've changed (and how much you haven't). Sam admits she's become more compassionate over the past year but still catches herself being judgmental toward certain people, a relatable struggle for anyone trying to improve themselves.

After specifically requesting only a Kindle for Christmas, Sam received cash instead, which technically covered the purchase but eliminated the joy of unwrapping that one item she wanted. How disappointing is it when people don't follow your extremely simple gift request? Meanwhile, her husband Cameron purchased himself a Masterclass subscription at 11:57 PM on Christmas Eve, accidentally ruining the exact surprise she had planned for him.
