Here is what our viewers said on today’s show: 

Colin Parry My son was misbehaving at school and at home, so took the tree down and told him Christmas was cancelled… his attitude and behavior improved immediately lol. 

Megan Perkins Present trick this year for my snooping 15 year old. All my sons presents are labeled for my husband and vice versa. Size and weight gives presents away.

Jessica Patterson Yes, we are doing my family’s small Christmas the day before Christmas eve, his family Christmas eve day and just us three all Christmas day to ourselves.

Kanasha Bontrager All we do is stay in, snuggle and enjoy a day off with each other. We might go to an extended family dinner, but my children understand, that enjoying family is the biggest gift, to give and receive.

Luke A Anderson Wife and I have already booked a trip for just us at tax time since we have 7 daughters between us.
