As we step into the holiday season, our hearts light up with excitement. But amidst all the festive cheer, it's clear that one of our greatest joys is finding time to host family together.

The Holiday Hustle: A Little Christmas Catch-Up
12/17, 2025 - The Start of Our Holiday Hustle
In December, we decided to take a break from our usual holiday preparations and instead embark on a journey filled with joy. This was our first time hosting family together in over a year, and it was an exciting start.
The Open House: A Perfect Start
Our first stop was a Christmas Open House in the neighborhood. It was a day of celebration, where neighbors brought dishes to share, drinks poured, and families gathered around the "Grinch" room set up by our host, David. The atmosphere was lively, with laughter and chatter echoing through the house. We left the event feeling rejuvenated and ready to dive into another season.
The Work Party: A Day of Feeding Kids
As we moved on, we found ourselves at a work party for his brother, Star the Elf, at The AC Hotel in Greenville. It was a day filled with excitement and joy, as David joined us for drinks and an app before heading to the party. The kids were already busy wrapping presents, building fire, and hovering around my feet as I prepped for hosting.
The Four-Day Meal Plan: A Weekly Mix of Fun
After our work party, we settled into a four-day meal plan designed to keep us busy and energized throughout the week. Each day was packed with delicious meals, snacks, and treats, ensuring that we had plenty of options to enjoy together. The meals were carefully planned to cater to different tastes and preferences, making sure everyone would have something to eat.
Personal Reflections: A Motivation for Community
As we continued our holiday Hustle, we reflected on the joy of hosting family. We realized that this was not just a time for us—it was a way to feel called to pour more into local community and make a difference. It was also a chance to bond with our children, who were already becoming quick little feeding stars.
The Motivation: Feeding Our Children
Our journey continued with tips for feeding our children, such as using Buttercup's glow sticks and encouraging them to explore the kitchen together. These simple yet meaningful practices helped us build a love for cooking and cooking together, reinforcing the idea that family is at the center of everything we do.
The Conclusion: A Season of Joy and Motivation
As December approached its end, our holiday Hustle was complete. We had celebrated with friends, enjoyed delicious meals, and found joy in the bonds we shared. This journey taught us that hosting family is not just a time for us—it’s a way to feel connected to others, build relationships, and make meaningful connections.
Final Thoughts: A Season of Hustle and Motivation
In the end, our holiday Hustle was a season filled with joy, motivation, and connection. It was a reminder that family is at the heart of everything we do, and that finding time to host together can be as fulfilling as any other activity. As we look ahead to the next season, we carry with us the lessons of gratitude, community, and the love we share with one another.
