Honoring Cultural & Faith Traditions At The Holidays: Voices 82

December 02, 2022

"Mom, is Santa Jesus's grandpa?" If you've found yourself in the (somehow surprising?) position of Adult In Charge Of The Holidays, you too might be on the receiving end of kids' questions about what's going on, exactly, with all these rituals and traditions. The answers don't always come easy, because even as adults it's not always obvious how (or whether) to carry our own family of origin's traditions into a new generation, how to merge faiths and cultures with our partners, and how to explain it all meaningfully to our kids. In today's Voices episode, Sarah chats with three members of The Mom Hour team about bringing traditions forward from the past, creating new ones that feel right for right now, and navigating interfaith and intercultural dynamics. It's a vulnerable, nuanced, and sometimes funny topic, and while we don’t pretend to have every aspect represented or covered today, we invite you to join us as we learn a little from one another!
