"As they’re getting older, Christmas Day looks slower than it used to," Joanna confessed. "We stay in our pajamas all day long, and someone usually pulls out a puzzle or board game that we all gather around."

They recently opened up about their decision to keep their children off social media for as long as possible.

"Our house rule is that you get social media the summer before you go to college," Joanna said on an episode of Today with Hoda and Jenna

"But it’s a challenge," Chip cut in. "I mean, you can tell these kids want it before that. So it's not like it's this agreed place where we've all decided that roughly 18, and they're like 'Oh thank goodness, I didn't want it to begin with.' They wanted it at 12, 13, 14."
