Holiday Spirit Traditions Travel and Christmas in Delaware

In this episode of That Delaware Podcast, we are diving into all things holidays from the cozy parts we love to the stressful parts we do not always talk about. We chat about getting into the Christmas spirit when the gift list feels overwhelming, the little traditions that make this season feel special, and the magic of simple nights at home with movies, hot chocolate, and a lit tree.

We also share our favorite local holiday vibes around Delaware, how our families celebrate, and what it looks like to balance busy calendars with actually enjoying the season. From cookie days and gingerbread marathons to serving with the Salvation Army and taking a first-ever family Christmas trip out of the country, this one is all about finding joy, giving back, and taking some pressure off.
