What is it like to live without a nanny?
Yeah, it's a disaster. It really looks like the house of a toddler.
She's a newborn.
But what do you think we actually would have done?
If your visa didn't get renewed, we'd stay here in America and you'd go back to Canada.
Are they really moving abroad?
So, the question then becomes, when you get raw chicken, what should the restaurant do?
Comp the entire meal and it is not close. Welcome back to another episode of Just Alex. Happy holidays. So you transition to happy new year?
100%. So when can you start saying happy holidays? And then if you're saying it ends January 1st, how long do you say happy new year for?
I think you say happy new year all of January.
You give happy new year a month? That's ridiculous.
How can you travel with a newborn?
Or at least like the first week or two.
I think first week, no brainer. I think the second week, you're kind of stretching it.
What should restaurants do when serving raw chicken?
I'm not gonna be mad if I get a happy new year the third week. I'm not gonna be mad.
I'm gonna be like, yeah, you gotta get something new to focus on.
Well, I'm not gonna be focused on the new year.
But if someone's coming in. And then, and sorry, when do you think you should start with the happy holidays?
I think that people, I think that Thanksgiving to me is not in part of the happy holidays. But I do think when you start saying happy holidays, you're also saying I'm shutting my laptop. I think they very much so go hand in hand. Like, Have you seen those memes where people are like, happy holidays and we'll touch base after the new year? That vibe? I think that starts around Thanksgiving.
Okay, so you're saying you start the happy new year after Thanksgiving.
I guess. Or the week of Thanksgiving. Listen, I don't start throwing happy holidays around until December.
Okay. You? I think that... Into the Thanksgiving week, it's like, hope you have a great Thanksgiving. Then Thanksgiving week, happy Thanksgiving. And then I think the week after Thanksgiving, you say, hope you had a great Thanksgiving. And then after that week, you transition to happy holidays. Happy holidays, you ride till Gen 1. Gen 1, you go, happy new year. Happy new year, really a week of it. I think past a week is a bit of a stretch.
And if anyone breaks any of those rules, are you mad or?
No, but maybe some judging.
Oh gosh, I don't agree. Not around the holidays.
Well, that's the whole point. The holidays are done, so you're allowed to judge. The judge-free era ends.
No, I don't think so. One bit. I think it's all fluid. I'm good with whatever you want to say. I don't care. I don't care when you start saying it. Listen, I'm down to start saying happy holidays around October when Halloween hits because it's also a holiday.
Yeah, you don't respect boundaries and holidays as we've learned over time.
Yeah, because I'm a jolly lady. Oh, and I've watched two Christmas movies. I'm in the spirit. Guys, the house is a mess. The wheels have fallen off here.
It really looks like the house of a toddler.
She's a newborn.
Yeah, it's a disaster.
But here's the thing that we're trying to do. Because the nanny, so we had a temp nanny who was filling in until we found our permanent nanny. And when she started filling in, it was two months ago. And we said to ourselves, we'll definitely have a nanny in place by December 1st. And we just didn't interview anybody. And so now the nanny's done. She was lovely, but it is nice. I just love having Tater for December. It's the holidays. I want to dress her in Christmas stuff. I just want to hold her. And with that, the house has completely fallen apart. And for the first time in my life, like I, my goal is to clean it tonight. But usually the house being this messy would stress me out. And I'm really detached from it. I'm really just like embracing it.
