Tips to Survive and Thrive Through the Holidays with Blake Hollimon

Ben reintroduces Blake to you as a guy who has been the voiceover for our "Sons of Blunder" episodes and weighed in on our sports episodes. Blake has also appeared in our CYC videos through the years as well. On today's episode he joins us to talk about the holidays and how to not only survive them but thrive through them. Ben brings up the holiday get togethers and the feeling of the holiday rush. The guys all weigh in on the need to slow down and also be present when you are with family. The guys admit that they are still in training to say the word "NO" from time to time. Ben brings up the question of "The Grinch", could we still be happy if we woke up on Christmas and there were no gifts. Travis discusses the true meaning of the word "gift". Blake says that he and his wife are intentional about spending time with their parents through a meal every week. The guys speak about the shift of attitude in life from "What am I getting?" to "What am I giving?" Blake discusses the verse in the Bible that talks about hosting angels. The fellows wrap up with their favorite and not so favorite Christmas songs. Links mentioned in this episode:
