The holidays are here…. and someone pass us a cocktail, immediately (extra dirty with blue cheese stuffed olives).

But really, this is a beautiful time of the year filled with an abundance of love, laughter, conversation, gratitude, and most importantly – food. And of course, one too many drinks and a side of family tension.

So to help you (and us) survive the holidays, we threw together our 10 ways to survive the holidays…. the truth + dare way! Admittedly, you’ll probably recognize one or two of them and already know that these tips are should-dos, but it’s always nice to be reminded of the essentials, especially as the season continues to unfold.

Also, we should forewarn you, this conversation was recorded days before Carly’s wedding and things get a little weird/all over the place/cray cray. But hang in there, we promise it’s a good time and worth a listen!

Now come join us, laugh with us, and get ready for the holidays with us! And hey, have any other holiday survival tips, drop them in the comments below, share them on social media with us, or leave an iTunes review.

Happy holidays friends, from our family to yours!
