Chapter 1: What are the holiday hot takes discussed?
Four or five years ago. What? So Josh was home, and I'm out there painting, and it was really hot, and I had a safety harness on.
Praise God.
So when I fell, it caught me, but I was dangling like a puppet, and my ladder went one way, and the chimney was this way, so I was dangling like a puppet like this. It's like Christmas Vacation. And I was thinking the neighbor's going to see me because he had seen me the night before after work. He said, be careful. I said, hey, Jeff. Be careful.
And then when I fell, I was like this, thinking Jeff isn't going to say, I told you so. But nothing was said. And I'm just dangling there. So I started pushing myself. Finally got down. And I went inside. And Josh goes, what was all that banging? I was like, well, thanks, Josh.
That's such a Josh thing to say. When you were ringing the doorbell, he hit your door.
Remember when you got off? Josh heard a bunch of banging. He didn't come check on his dad.
And he's like in there eating his, whatever he's eating. That's such a Josh thing to do. Just like when you guys got locked out.
Yeah, we got locked out of the house. I told him we should be banging.
And he goes, I went back to sleep and you guys were locked out of the house.

Chapter 2: How do the parents feel about real versus fake Christmas trees?
No, I do our tree in about five minutes. It's so quick. Not ornaments, obviously, but setting up the tree itself.
I don't want to fasten a tree to my car like that.
I just want to put it in my trunk. We would definitely get into some sort of altercation if we were trying to chop a tree down.
We tried not to.
Hey, life hack. If you want to decorate early... Go and put your tree up in around October and put a sheet over it. Make it look like a big ghost. And then when Halloween's over, you pull the sheet off and you're ready.
I saw it and I told him. And now he's acting like he made it.
You probably saw this on Instagram Reels, didn't you? No, I did a chat GPT. Okay. Wait, hold up a second. You guys aren't on TikTok, but you're on Instagram Reels. Yes. Is that what everyone over 50 is doing these days?
I think they're on Facebook. Facebook. I just saw it on an Instagram. Somebody had done that. And I thought that was a cute idea.
That's kind of funny.
