15: The Holidays Aren’t as Hallmark as They’d Have You Believe

Twinkly lights, presents, singing, dancing, mulled wine, huge meals, all around the fire. This is the picture of Christmas we are often painted, but of course that’s only some of the story. In this week’s episode Áine and Ruth take a look at the picture that’s painted of Christmas, and how it can differ for people in different circumstances. It might differ a little from the “ideal” Christmas, or it might differ a lot. But no one has the perfect time, so let’s talk about it.
