Hello and welcome to Solicited Advice: Holiday Edition. For the next few weeks, we’ll be answering all of your most pressing holiday-related questions, dilemmas and queries. In our penultimate episode, Alison is joined by actor and activist Busy Philipps to help you manage expectations and set boundaries during this year’s holiday season. Together, they tackle some truly festive conundrums: how to divide your time between parents and in-laws without losing your mind, what to do when Christmas as an adult doesn’t quite sparkle like it used to, which group games work best when everyone... doesn't exactly get along, how to politely (but firmly!) ask guests to remove their shoes at your party, and, yes, whether it’s finally time to retire your homemade wienerschnitzel tradition. Got a burning question for our final holiday episode? Call us at 856-502-4816 for your chance to get some expert advice. Solicited Advice is proudly presented with distribution and revenue support from the Talkhouse network.
