Christmas doesn’t start on Christmas Eve.
It starts when the family begins to arrive.

One by one.
With bags, opinions, questions, chaos,
and absolutely no sense of personal space.

This episode is about that period before the big night:
everyone sleeping everywhere,
sharing rooms with people you barely know,
aunts observing in silence,
kids running wild,
last-minute shopping,
Christmas markets gone wrong,
and the slow realisation that…
this is just the warm-up.

It’s loud.
It’s messy.
It’s uncomfortable.
And somehow… completely familiar.

Because if this is already like this,
Christmas Eve is going to be unhinged.

December turns into a full-time job very quickly.

One minute you’re fine,
the next you’re decorating, buying, baking, donating, preparing,
opening advent calendars you’re never fully happy with,
and somehow doing everything — willingly.

In this episode, I walk through my December so far:
the tree, the traditions, the little rituals,
the things we laugh about, complain about,
and still do every single year.

Not because we have to.
Because it’s Christmas.

This isn’t about hating traditions.
It’s about living them — proudly, imperfectly,
and slightly overwhelmed.

And yes… I did all of them.

Work Christmas parties are not celebrations.
They’re social experiments.

In this episode, we sit quietly at the table and observe the full parade:
the loud ones,
the oversharers,
the awkward flirts,
the karaoke confidence,
the photos nobody asked for,
and the dance floor nobody wanted.

No big speeches.
No moral lessons.
Just quiet judgment, real situations, and that feeling of
“I’ve definitely seen this before.”

If you’ve ever survived a work party by watching everyone else implode,
this episode is for you.
