This week, Jaci and Chelsey debate your hottest Christmas takes, because the holiday is approaching fast and there is so much to discuss. You sent in everything from whether strangers — or even straight-up enemies — should be welcomed into festive gatherings for the sake of holiday cheer, to whether wish lists are turning gift-giving into a consumerist chore instead of something magical. With plenty more cozy controversy sprinkled in, this episode is all about questioning the traditions we’ve accepted and deciding what actually makes the season feel meaningful.

| 0:00.0 | The following podcast is a dear media production. |
| 0:09.8 | Hello, hello. Merry Christmas, everybody. |
| 0:13.6 | We are here feeling festive as ever. |
| 0:16.3 | If you're watching on YouTube, you get the special sneak peek of our outfits. We initially wanted to match. |
| 0:23.6 | I keep like trying to talk, but not going, not going full enough out. Continue, continue. |
| 0:29.4 | We initially wanted to dress up as the topic of today's episode, which is naughty or nice, |
| 0:34.9 | if you're on the naughty or nice list. And we're like, oh, it would be cute if one of us wore white, one of us wore black. But neither of us wanted to wear black. So we're here. So we're both your local, your local ho-ho-hoes, your local Christmas angels. I'm kind of feeling like Mrs. Claus right now. Yeah, it's giving rich Mrs. Claus. Thank you. It's getting rich mom sitting on the couch, like, sipping her tea. |
| 0:56.3 | Sipping my tea that I didn't bring today. |
| 0:58.6 | Your haircut looks very, very cute. |
| 1:00.7 | And the new, the fresh color, you're really inspiring me. |
| 1:03.8 | And I've never wanted, like, my hair in this moment, looking at yours is feeling so |
| 1:08.5 | overstimulating. |
| 1:09.3 | Because it's hitting that length where it's like... That length is actually the worst. Yeah, I need to... Not looking. It looks great, but feeling. Thank you. I do... I'm regretting not putting it up today. I do need a little fresh chop, just like an inch, I think, or like a half inch even. Because I like the long bob. I think it's cute, the lob, but it does get to that point where it's just looking, it's hitting at a weird spot. I'm understanding that now. People always talk about like the awkward length and I understand what you're talking about now. Ladies, I get it. But the fresh bob is looking very, very cute and chic, I will say. Thank you. Yeah, I went darker yesterday. |
| 1:44.7 | I'm feeling really crazy. It's about the craziest thing I can do. I've been seeing a lot of |
| 1:48.7 | beautiful blondes around and they're blonde, like the blonde hair that's just like blonde to the |
| 1:55.3 | root that's just so like that yellowy blonde. Oh, I just have this like alter ego that just wants to have that kind of hair. |
| 2:04.9 | And I just know that's not meant for me. |
| 2:06.9 | I know I'm not supposed to be that person. |
| 2:08.8 | But so I went black instead. |
| 2:11.6 | Love that. |
| 2:12.1 | But I've been seeing it and just kind of feeling envious of them. |
| 2:16.3 | I feel that. |
