Masaya pa ba ang Pasko… or pagod lang tayo?

Christmas hits different when you’re older—and not always in a bad way.

In this episode, Anne and Georgie unpack the reality of adult Christmas:
the schedules, the budgets, the logistics, the emotional bandwidth (or lack thereof), and the quiet pressure to perform joy.

We talk about the Christmas we imagined growing up, the Filipino traditions we were raised with, the nostalgia that still tugs at us… and the compromises we now make to survive the season with our sanity intact.

From fake trees and fake wrapped gifts, to choosing rest over perfection, this episode is for anyone who loves Christmas, misses it, resents it a little, or just wants to get through it gently.

Because maybe Christmas isn’t dead.

Maybe it just grew up with us.

This Week’s Reminder:

Christmas is a holiday — not a performance.
Rest is allowed.
Simplicity is enough.

✨ If you’re far away from family this Christmas, we’re here with you.
✨ If your Christmas looks different this year, that doesn’t make it wrong.
✨ If you’re tired, welcome, you’re among fellow pagods.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
