We're So Xmas

Go to the dollar store, grab some Valentine's Day decorations and just keep the tree up! Nobody can go anywhere, so who's going to judge you?

To cap off our 25 Days of Christmas Podcasts, we did a live episode on Boxing Day! You can listen to the audio version, or head over to our Facebook page and watch the video!

On this wonderful, wonderful holiday, Heather and Chrysanthemum Cliff reflect on gifts of Christmas past.

Ok, it's Christmas Eve and you have that ONE last gift to buy. You aren't going to the store because between the crowds and the COVID it's just not worth it. You've already spent 8 hours on Amazon and come up with NOTHING. Don't worry, We're So Xmas has got your back.

Heather swears this is an Irish tradition passed down in her family, but Cliff is going to have to do some more research.

Heather tells us about the delightful - but expensive - Nitro Coffee from Starbucks and we decide that Heather definitely would date Santa Claus' kid.

Looking for a last-minute Christmas gift? Heather recommends a gift card to a local restaurant or shop! Not only is it a great gift, but also helps out your struggling local businesses. Cliff also wants you to know a dirty secret and that is that nobody gets anything done between Christmas and New Years, which is why everyone should get that week off. Honestly, we deserve it.

Ok, stop doing what you are doing right now (even if that means that you are going to have to put a pause on listening to this episode). Go on Facebook or Twitter or Instagram and as your friends and followers to list their favorite Christmas traditions. We guarantee it will make you smile.

Do you have any friends that might be experiencing their first "real winter" in a while? Heather has the perfect gift idea for them. Chrysanthemum Cliff spun the random wheel of Christmas movies and ended up with A Dogwalker's Christmas Tale! It's a pretty great Christmas movie that's only real failing is not being called A Dogwalker's Christmas Tail.

Content Warning: If you are a mother of anyone involved in this podcast (or the spouse of anyone involved in this podcast) you might want to skip this episode. If you think you might be offended even if you aren't one of our moms, you might want to skip it too. But honestly, it's also probably not that huge of a deal and you might pick up an idea for an easy stocking stuffer you can pick up at Tar...

Have an audio nerd on your Christmas list? Check out Premoplugz on Etsy (Heather's a huge fan!) Cliff talks about the latest Disney Sing-Along and admits that he knows nothing about pop music.

Heather delves into the world of last-minute Christmas gifts while Cliff drags up some little known facts about one of your favorite Christmas TV shows.

Depending on your sensibilities, this one might be slightly NSFW. But maybe not, who knows what work even is any more? Heather has some recommendations on a gift for that special person in your life that needs some help trimming their tree. Or their ornaments? I dunno, just assume there is a lot of innuendo and we'll leave it at that. Also, if you haven't bought your Christmas tree yet get on it s...

You have to act quickly, but tomorrow morning (if you live in New York) you can book a nights stay at FAO Schwarz! Slightly less quickly, but still on a schedule, get ready to see the Christmas Star a week from today!

Heather has a great idea for how you can make someone's holiday brighter via their vet. Cliff admits his fascination with the Cinderella trope and Disney Channel Original Movies with a review of "A Cinderella Story: Christmas Wish"

Heather and Cliff say "underpants" way more in this episode that Cliff is comfortable with. We also talk about the new Netflix TV-MA rated Holidate!

Never forget, Edible Arrangments are the gift that keeps on giving! Also, if you are out at the grocery store picking up ingredients for cookies or holiday meals, why not grab some flowers for someone you love? In movie news, We're So Xmas is strongly in the "Die Hard is a Christmas movie" camp, but what about American Psycho?

Did you know there is an actual National Weather Service approved definition of what a White Christmas is? Did you know that the movie Elf almost didn't get made? You can listen to the podcast to find out about the first one and watch The Holiday Movies That Made Us to find out about the second!

Looking for the perfect gift for your perfect best friend that doesn't live next door? Or something to remind the other half of your long-distance relationship that you are thinking about them? How about a Friendship Lamp? Once you get that locked down, check out an owl so cute it made Heather cry (and hear how it ended up in New York City!)

Heather thinks the Oura ring might be a great gift for the fitness buff in your life (or yourself!) Chrysanthemum Cliff isn't going to cut down his own Christmas tree, but 100% wants everyone else to know that it's a super-economical way to get a great tree, especially if you are looking for something tall!

Hang out (virtually) on Thursday, Dec. 10th with Heather at the Nurse of the Year Awards. Right now nurses are working so hard to keep people healthy during the pandemic and could absolutely use some recognition. And if you are looking for somewhere to make a last-minute donation too, the March of Dimes is always a fantastic candidate.  You wouldn't think this would be related, but if you are in t...

Heather has found some awesome floating speakers that would make great gifts (although Cliff thinks they look like little floating Death Stars from Star Wars). Cliff talks about a Christmas tradition that started over 100 years ago and is now being handled by the Coast Guard. Give this episode a listen to learn more about the Christmas Tree Ship.

Heather found a perfect Christmas mask for that special person in your lift. When you see it, you'll know exactly the person it will be perfect for. :) Chrysanthemum Cliff watched The Christmas Switch and The Christmas Switch: Switched Again and loved both of them!

Christmas is the perfect time for COOKIES and Cliff has two fantastic options for you! If you want to try the brown butter cookies, head to the Brown Butter Cookie Company. If you want to try the corn cookies, head over to the Milk Bar.

Heather has been getting some very good targeted Facebook ads from Bed, Bath and Beyond lately and Cliff loved Midnight at the Magnolia!
