This year, Vale, aged 10, and Charley, aged 7, received an early Christmas surprise in the form of a new furry family member named Fetch. Revealed through Savannah’s 2024 holiday card, the young dog has quickly become a beloved addition to their household. Celebrating her own birthday on December 27th, Savannah is looking forward to a month filled with gift-giving and festive cheer.
In a candid interview with TODAY.com last year, Savannah shared her insights on how to ensure a birthday that falls during the holiday season remains just as special. “Never combine gifts for Christmas and birthdays. It’s important to set aside something exclusively for the birthday celebration,” she emphasized. Savannah also advised against giving birthday presents on Christmas day itself. “Avoid the temptation to say, ‘Here, open this now, it’s for your birthday.’ Allow them to anticipate and enjoy their birthday gifts on their actual special day,” she suggested.
Savannah’s thoughtful approach to balancing Christmas and birthday festivities reflects her commitment to ensuring that each occasion is uniquely celebrated. As her family embraces the joyful chaos of the holiday season, the arrival of Fetch has added an extra layer of excitement and warmth to their home.
