This is the special Couples Christmas Episode of NFWJ! In this episode, I'm joined by my BF Elwood, my sister, Olivia, and my brother-in-law, Trey. As couples, I thought it would be fun to talk about some funny Christmas themed advice columns.
Story 1: A woman is upset very upset for all the wrong reasons. She bought her daughter-in-law a gift card to a yarn store because she likes to knit and crochet. Her daughter-in-law then turns around and uses the yarn to make this woman and her husband a bedspread out of yarn that she received from that girt card. This lady wanted to go as far as writing this woman a letter about "gift etiquette", whatever that is. Honestly, we all thought she sounded super selfish and cold. This lady didn't even consider the hard work that it takes to put together a bedspread, she just focused on the fact that she felt they were buying their own gift.
Story 2: This story was more funny than serious. A man has a girlfriend with a Santa fetish... Yes, you read that right, a Santa fetish. She has an affinity for sitting on his lap and showing up when he says "ho ho ho." The dilemma is that this guy wants to borrow his sister's Santa suit that he uses to entertain his nephews. Without his sister's consent of course. I won't say much about this story but Santa Sauce... If you listen to the podcast, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
Story 3: A woman is hosting a Christmas party at her place and wonders if she should take the opportunity to hit on her boss while his wife is out of town. No ma'am, no ham, no turkey. Don't end up on a show named Obsessed because you want to sleep with your boss. Bad idea! There is one person in the group that basically tells this lady to "shoot her shot" though. Listen to this and more on this episode of NFWJ.
