Classical Conversations supports homeschooling parents by cultivating the love of learning through a Christian worldview in fellowship with other families. We believe there are three keys to a great education: classical, Christian, and Community.

Oct 28, 2025

The holidays can be the most wonderful—and most complicated—time of the year. From navigating family dynamics to keeping Christ at the center while culture shouts louder, how do we love our neighbors well when everything feels extra?

Join Lisa Bailey, Delise Germond, and Alicia Clark for an honest, refreshing conversation about navigating the holiday season with grace. These three homeschool moms get real about the joys and stressors of the holidays—from gift-giving anxiety and packed schedules to tricky family encounters and teaching kids about Santa (or not!).

You'll laugh, nod along, and maybe even tear up as they discuss:

  • The tension between materialistic pressure and generous gift-giving
  • How to set expectations early (before the post-turkey bombshell!)
  • Managing the "busyness of good things" while leaving margin for rest
  • Teaching children to focus on Jesus when culture is screaming something else
  • Practical ways to love your neighbors during emotionally tender seasons
  • What to do when relatives press hot-button issues at family gatherings
  • Creative approaches to Halloween that honor your values

Whether you're a holiday enthusiast or someone who dreads the stress, this conversation offers wisdom, solidarity, and actionable ideas for making the season truly about loving God and loving others well. Plus, you'll get some genius life hacks (double batch those favorite recipes!) that just might save your December sanity.
