About this episode
On this episode: Lucy Lopez , Elizabeth Newcamp , and Zak Rosen are trying to take some of the holiday stress off your shoulders. They have gift recommendations for every type of kid, from the sports obsessed (tickets to a game are always a win) to the young scientist (science kits l ike those from Kiwi Co . are sure to be a hit), they have ideas to help you make all the kiddos happy this season. But first: A listener has a very important question - how do they end the yearly (exhausting) tradition of the Elf on the Shelf. Is it possible to “kill” the elf while keeping holiday magic?
