Sugar For The Holidays

The holidays are supposed to be a time of joy and gratitude. But for many of us, the expectation of what the holidays should be is what can make them, instead, a time of anxiety and dread.

In this episode, the Sugars take on some of the big questions of the holiday season. How do we balance the competing demands of families? How do we act like adults when we return to our childhood homes? And, what if we aren't sure we should return home at all?

Given the added anxiety of the holiday season, the Sugars called in backup. They're joined by Heather Havrilesky, who writes the Ask Polly column for New York magazine.

New episodes of Dear Sugar Radio are released weekly.
