Friends! Apparently, it’s December 1st? Somehow? And Thanksgiving already happened? Wow. Good to know.
If you haven’t watched yet, we made a special episode of our QVC+ show for you. We kept calling it a Holiday Spectacular, kind of tongue-in-cheek, because it’s just a little late night show. But honestly? We think it turned out more spectacularly than we could have hoped! Please check it out by downloading the QVC+ app on your smart tv, or you can watch it on any device by clicking here: BUSY THIS WEEK HOLIDAY SPECTACULAR!
We think it just might bring you a little joy while you finally wash those last few crusty dishes in the sink or you’re putting up the tree or even if you’re just trying to fend off the Sunday Scaries.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you haven’t watched yet, watch all the way after the goodbye for a special Marvel-style post credits cameo by a very special guest!
THEN, if you want the behind-the-scenes of the Holiday Spectacular, we talk all about it on this week’s podcast! Believe it or not, there was some drama & we weren’t sure whether or not the show could go on. GAH! Please subscribe, to the pod and set your app for automatic downloads RIGHT HERE! Go ahead & click it, we’ll be right here while you do, we promise.
ON this week’s podcast, we briefly went over Busy’s kids’ Christmas lists & discussed the Neiman Marcus Fantasy Gifts catalog. We thought it would be fun to share our Christmas lists and we wanted to invite you to share yours too! It can be ridiculous fantasy items like Neiman’s Yachting Treasure Hunt Through Indonesia for $485,000 or, it can be, like, lip balms and fuzzy socks from the drug store. Or it can even be concepts of things you’re wishing for that cannot be bought! Anyway, if you want to put your list in the comments, go ahead. If you want to email them to BusyDoingHerBest@gmail.com, you can do that. You can even send us a pic of your handwritten list if you want. If we get enough, we’ll do a roundup post of what Besties are wishing for this year. Why? Just to put that hopeful energy out there! And, if it sweetens the pot, anyone who participates will be entered into a random drawing for some podcast-related treats. We’ll choose 3 winners on Friday, 12/6.
Finally, if you’re doing any holiday shopping, we hope you will consider shopping QVC by using the handy pop-ups during our show Busy This Week. We also hope you’ll support the sponsors who help keep the podcast going week after week. Someone messaged us to let us know they shopped one of our sponsors for Christmas and couldn’t use our code because it wasn’t their first purchase, but they went ahead and sent a message saying they’d become a repeat customer because of us & honestly, it made our day!

WE LOVE YOU & WE CAN’T WAIT TO HEAR WHAT YOU THOUGHT OF THIS WEEK’S SHOW & PODCAST!
I just got back into town after visiting family over the long weekend, so I haven't listened to the most recent BTW episode. But I plan to put it on while decorating the Christmas tree tonight!
Top of my Christmas wish list is Purl Soho's Learn to Knit Kit. My mom passed away in October, and knitting was one of her favorite pastimes since retiring a few years ago. She would knit soft little toys to donate to the local children's hospital. So I hope to actually learn to knit well enough to hopefully carry on with my mom's sweet, thoughtful hobby.
Happy Holidays, Busy and Caissie! Thank you so much for continuing on with these podcast episodes. They are such lovely spots to my week, while living though everything else that is so hard and rough. <3
I binged all the new BTW episodes today! So good 💜
My fantasy Christmas wish list item? To have my student loans paid off! 🤣
