As children, Christmas was a season of wonder for many of us, but over time we often start to anticipate less, expect more and even develop a sense of entitlement. In this extra-special replay episode, Brian shares why Christmas is still so dear to him and teaches how anyone can tap into the magic of the season all year long.

 

YOU WILL LEARN:

  • How to rekindle a sense of childlike anticipation and appreciation.
  • The story of the best Christmas Brian ever had.
  • Why the present is the most precious gift of all.
