Deck the halls with legal briefs! This week on Get Doc'd, Daphne, Wilsen, and "El Profesor" Michael are diving headfirst into the most wonderful time of the year... and the most litigious. We're dissecting the documentary The Fight Before Christmas, the story of a Christmas-loving lawyer whose obsession with spreading holiday cheer puts him on a collision course with the local Homeowners' Association.

Join us as we unpack the battle for the soul of the suburbs. Was this lawyer a festive freedom fighter or a legally-armed Grinch-tracker? Does an HOA's rulebook have the final say on holiday spirit? We'll be debating the fine print of festive expression, the absurdity of neighborhood politics, and asking the big question: where do you draw the line between community standards and a man's god-given right to go Clark Griswold on his own house? Grab your eggnog and your gavel—it's about to get jolly in here.
