It's December, and that means it's all about the joyful chaos that is December with a lead up to Christmas. Join Anke, Alisa, Kim, Tammy and Heather as they discuss the start of the Christmas season including preparations for the Mums' Annual Karaokefest. What are your favourite karaoke hits? The mums are talking Musical tunes (Wicked for Good mention), hip hop preferences, and more. Join in next week for a post-Karaoke recap to hear all about the high jinx the mums got up to!

The mums talk favourite advent calendars they have had, or that they organize for their kids, including homemade calendars, chocolate calendars, tea advent calendars, beauty advent calendars and even advent calendar romance novels. Shout out to Jacquie Lawson eCards Advent Calendar from Kim! There is even an advent calendar experience in a village at a new person's house every day! Listen in to find out all about some of these extremely clever advent calendar ideas.

The start of December means it's also Christmas rom-com (Romantic Comedy) time... and the Edinburgh Society of Unapologetically Imperfect Mothers is all in. The mums will review a Christmas rom-com every week this month - so tune in every week! This week's Christmas rom-com is "A Merry Little Ex-Mas" starring Alicia Silverstone, Melissa Joan Hart, Oliver Hudson, Pierson Fode, and Jameela Jamil. Find out what made this rom-com special for the mums including THE HOUSE, what we think of the British characters that appear in it (team Jameela), how entertaining we find Chet, and how many glasses of proscecco each of the mums are rating it! We will also be posting our ratings on our Instagram so check that out too.

The ladies move on from Christmas rom-coms and other favourite Christmas movies to "competitive momming" during the holidays... everything from doing detailed Christmas cards to decorations to homemade food and all of the other pressure mums put on ourselves during the holidays. Find out from the mums what we can do to avoid pressure override! But of course, when mums see the eyes of the kids light up with joy during the holiday season, it all seems worth it!
