In this festive episode of JJ Meets World, JJ and Tucker dive into the unwritten rules of office Christmas parties, the art of planning unforgettable events (without becoming a party tyrant), and the real danger of losing a king-sized Snickers bar in your own house.

From Mad Men, The Office, and Office Christmas Party (2016), to the genius of Sam Richardson, the team explores how pop culture shapes our expectations for holiday gatherings. You'll learn why the worst sin is hosting an office party AT the office, why drink tickets beat open bars, and how a toy poodle could (almost) steal Christmas.

This episode also includes. 🎁 The war between perfect vs. practical gift wrapping 🍗 Why March might be the best time for a "Christmas" party 💀 Turning a Home Depot skeleton into a year-round decoration 💡 Cultural questions: Why do ALL big holidays cluster in 3 months? 💥 And a preview of next week's story: A skunk sprays JJ's house!
