Host (Interviewer)
Hey, Jana. Good morning.
Jana (Guest)
Hi there.
Host (Interviewer)
How are you?
Jana (Guest)
I'm okay. Happy New Year.
Co-host/Commentator
Happy New Year.
Host (Interviewer)
How did things go? How was this received by the rest of the family?
Jana (Guest)
It did not go well? No, no. You know, we went with my husband's plan and we left the note. He took down all the Christmas decorations overnight, left the note from Santa, and when the three kids woke up, they all cried. Well, my four year old and my six year old started crying first and then Zachary, the oldest, whose birthday it is on Christmas Day, he was really excited at first, but then once he saw his siblings start to cry, that was it.
Host (Interviewer)
So he wasn't happy? The siblings weren't happy. Did you guys do, did you do Christmas like on Christmas Eve the same exact way you would do it on Christmas morning?
Jana (Guest)
No, we left a note. You know, the note from Santa said that Christmas will be here tomorrow. So we were planning on doing Christmas the next day, resuming Christmas, basically.
Host (Interviewer)
So this was Santa's orders. Okay. Just because we do have kids listening right now. Okay. Yeah, I gotcha.
Jana (Guest)
So. Well, Zachary, again, the oldest, being so upset, asked for Christmas to come back. And, you know, he was really sweet and just, you know, he kind of said to us, well, he's a little old for Santa, but, you know, his brother and sister would really like Santa to visit today. And was there any way we could call Santa and have Santa come on Christmas Day? So I packed up the Kids and went to my in laws for lunch and they had some presents to open over there which was really nice. And explained to them that daddy was going to stay behind and call Santa to come while we were at our grandparents house and tell Santa to deliver Christmas while we were at lunch. So my husband stayed behind and took Zachary's birthday decorations down and prepared for Santa's visit and Santa came that afternoon. So after lunch we went back and had Christmas. And Zachary, you know, really was so sweet and I can't believe, you know, 12 years old he explained to us that he didn't mind, he didn't mind having a birthday and Christmas on the same day.
Host (Interviewer)
I'm more concerned with Santa here than anything else because his day is finally done. I mean he's gone around the world house to house.
Co-host/Commentator
He's probably already.
Host (Interviewer)
And he's tremendously relieved. The last, I mean the last name is crossed off the list and then he gets a call from your husband going, I'm sorry, you gotta be back in Atlanta. And he's like, come on man, I'm already passing. It's like I'm in Dan the Caribbean, Caribbean Grand Cayman in four hours. And I think it was cool of him to show back up.
Jana (Guest)
Me too. Santa really, really went out of his way for us this year.
Co-host/Commentator
That is pretty cool.
Host (Interviewer)
Santa clutches up. So at the end of the day everybody was happy with it. But if you were gon to give advice to others, you would say, no,
Jana (Guest)
don't do it, don't do it.
Co-host/Commentator
Don't mess with Santa's schedule. Let him come on schedule. If you haven't conceived your child yet, just be sure and try to plan it so that they're not born on Christmas Day. It just means hold off in March when you're ovulating in March.
Jana (Guest)
Right.
Co-host/Commentator
Isn't it, isn't that it?
Host (Interviewer)
I don't endorse that.
Co-host/Commentator
I say February or March. Yeah, just hold off one month.
Host (Interviewer)
So it all ended up working out in the end of the day, but definitely not the kind of advice you would give to other parents.
Jana (Guest)
Exactly.
Host (Interviewer)
Okay, thank you for the update.
Co-host/Commentator
I had some friends, I had some friends of friends over the holidays that tried to do this with their kids. They have three kids in Florida and woke up, did the whole, you know, Santa came, did the Christmas thing, whatever. And they said their big surprise was going to Disney World. So the final present that the kids opened was Mickey Mouse ears. And they said, all right kids, the car's already packed, we're going to Disney today. And they thought the kids were going to go nuts. The kids were like, but wait, we

want to stay here and play with
Co-host/Commentator
all of our toys that Santa brought. So it was a little deflating for the parents who had put together this whole plan that was a big thing for the Christmas. But they said once they got to Disney, it was all good and the kids forgot about it.
Host (Interviewer)
You just don't mess with that. Just that's not a day for surprises.
Co-host/Commentator
Yeah, mess up the tradition and didn't really come out the same thing. Talk about him being a people pleaser from now on.
Jana (Guest)
No.
Bluff (Host/Announcer)

Guest: Jana
In this episode, Bert and the team reconnect with Jana, who previously shared her family's bold attempt to "exchange" Christmas for her son’s birthday—since her oldest, Zachary, has a Christmas Day birthday. The family tried to move the Christmas celebration to December 26th so that Zachary could have a birthday free of holiday competition. Jana shares the aftermath, how her children reacted, and what she learned in the process. The episode discusses family traditions, the emotional weight of holidays, and what happens when well-meant plans go awry.
Tone:
The episode is lighthearted, self-deprecating, and warm, with the hosts joking, sympathizing, and offering practical takeaways for listeners facing similar holiday conundrums.
