This week, we’re barely easing into the holiday madness with a mix of pure chaos and a few hard truths. Amanda kicks things off by potentially being pregnant (will have to update next ep?), while Jessa recounts a solo edible-fueled zoo trip that went as tumultuously as you’d expect.

Our Friendsgiving recap is one for the books with gratitude shouting matches, potluck throwdowns, and a noise complaint from a little someone that nearly ended in eviction (honestly worth it).  Quick pivot to Black Friday, where Jessa’s questionable impulse purchase - a sauna for her .... kitchen .... takes center stage.

But beneath the laughs, we dig into how consumerism has hijacked the holidays. Why does showing love have to come with a price tag? And is there a way to escape the capitalist holiday trap?

To round things out, Jessa shares her traumatic late discovery that Santa isn’t real (at 14, no less). A little holiday therapy, a lot of laughs, this one’s got it all.
