But what if celebrations could be both joyful AND sustainable?In this mid-series conversation, Lili-Ann and Bron tackle the tension educators face during end-of-year celebrations. They explore five key areas: creativity, gifting, food, energy, and children's expression, framed by the hundred languages of children, where small, intentional shifts can align your celebrations with your year-round values without sacrificing joy or magic.This isn't about cancelling Christmas or making families feel guilty. It's about bringing the same care and connection to all cultural and festive practices that you give to everything else.
