In This Episode:
It’s the most wonderful time of the year and Tyler and Mike are trying to take their celebration to another level. The conversation starts with traditions that usher in the magical season of Christmas and then the guys ask what can be done to, as Elvis sings, make every day like Christmas. There are levels to it as the guys explore the deeper meaning of the season–the importance to accept the true gift of Christmas and change. This episode does come with some homework for Tyler and Mike. Feel free to join in the fun and find your “one thing” to change.
