Jason and Emily are in full holiday chaos mode and nothing is going according to the Hallmark script. Jason is trying (and failing) to figure out what to buy the woman who hates everything in the “Gifts for Her” section, while Emily has accidentally become the kind of person who takes Christmas parade floats a little too seriously. Somewhere between a live nativity that might just be in the wrong town and a very opinionated rant about what churches are doing with kids these days, they stumble into a surprisingly honest conversation about what actually makes the season feel holy, fun, and not completely unhinged. If you like your Christmas episodes cozy, unfiltered, and a little bit feral, this one is it. 00:00 Christmas Parade Float 08:33 Paducah is BIG TIME 14:44 Family money 15:24 Mayfield…not so big time… 16:37 Bethlehem is amazing! 17:40 Children’s church sure is something… 24:27 Bethlehem continued… 29:19 Emily’s germaphobeness… 35:50 Christmas shopping is hard. 49:02 Having the right tools Sponsors for this episode include: Voetberg Method Experience This month, use my code: CRUNCHY20 to get 20% off each month you’re subscribed.
