PCPS Light: A Christmas in the Life

Inspired by one of our most downloaded episodes of all time called A Day in the Life, today's episode invites you into the childhood homes of Carolyn, Kristin and Michelle as they celebrate Christmas with their families on one specific year. One of us questions the existence of Santa while another shops for her first boyfriend with her babysitting money (which cologne do you think she bought?). Getting dressed up to go shopping, stirring the cheese dip, dancing to Swedish folk songs, experiencing snow for the first time, listening to Johnny Mathis, all of this and more creates a varied and nostalgic picture of Christmas past -- and maybe it will sound familiar to you? Our Christmas memories are powerful reminders to slow down and enjoy the moment; even if your children are full grown and wish for nothing more than money for the holidays, all we have to do is light a candle, listen to a favorite album, go for a wintry walk and enjoy each other's company to keep making those memories.
