Show Notes
One year. One movie choice. And Christmas was never the same. đŹ
In this holiday episode of The Jinger & Jeremy Podcast, Jeremy confesses to the moment he almost completely derailed Christmas â and from there, things only get more controversial.
Weâre answering the spiciest Christmas questions people are afraid to ask, including:
đ Should adults even exchange gifts â or is Christmas just for kids?
đď¸ Has consumerism ruined Christmas?
đ Real tree vs. fake tree (this might start a fight)
đĽ Is eggnog actually good⌠or are we all lying?
đ Santa, traditions, and what we tell our kids
đŹ The best Christmas movie ever (no, we donât all agree)
We also talk about:
- Family traditions that actually matter
- Why memories beat âstuffâ
- Sentimental gifts vs. last-minute Amazon panic
- How Christmas looks different in seasons of marriage, parenting, and adulthood.
This episode is funny, honest, nostalgic, and a little unhinged â perfect to listen to while wrapping presents, driving to see family, or taking a moment of peace in the bathroom.
đ§ Let us know in the comments:
đ Did Jeremy actually ruin Christmas?
đ Are you team REAL tree or FAKE tree?
đ Is eggnog elite or disgusting?
Merry Christmas from our family to yours đ¤

More from Call Your Sister with Joy & Jinger
This week on Call Your Sister, Joy and I are talking about moving out for the first time. Neither of us went to college, so most of our âlearning to live on our ownâ happened inside marriage, and weâre sharing all of it.
Hey guys, itâs Jinger! This week on Call Your Sister, Joy and I are talking about our first heartbreaks. Joy hasnât had a classic heartbreak story, so she turned the tables and interviewed me. We start with our first crushes and Joyâs story of sitting through Austinâs plans to ask another girl out when she was 16, and how she tried to be supportive while hoping it wouldnât work out.
This week on Call Your Sister, Joy and I are talking all things learning to drive. We grew up in Arkansas, where you can get your permit at 14 with a quick written test, and our dad taught us to drive long before any of that. We started on the weed eater, worked up to the lawnmower, then moved on to the golf cart and ATV, and eventually got behind the wheel of a car.
This week on Call Your Sister, Joy and I are talking all things weddings â the details nobody remembers but felt huge in the moment, the stuff we'd actually change if we could do it again, and the behind-the-scenes reality of getting married while being filmed for TV.
This week on Call Your Sister, Joy and I are talking all about sibling rivalry and what it was actually like growing up together in a house full of kids. We get into some of our favorite (and funniest) memories â like Joy's infamous fight with our brother over the school computer, and her reputation as the sibling who'd get talked into doing things she probably shouldn't have. Joy also owns up to being the one who body-slammed and pranked our brothers a little too much growing up!
