☕🎄 The one where Kayla almost files a police report against the cold, her Keurig and microwave both die, and she solves the mystery with a tripped breaker… then drinks a caramel macchiato AND hot apple cider because waste not, want not.

Then we get to the real chaos:

• The annual November 1st Christmas tree uprising
• Forcing her husband onto the roof with a coffee in one hand and a water bottle projectile in the other
• The 15-year-old who thought “if I don’t help, the tree can’t go up” (spoiler: it went up)
• And the onion-chopping heart-to-heart that ended the boycott and had both of them ugly-crying into the pasta water

From “I used to hate holidays” to “I’ll put Halloween up in July if you let me,” Kayla spills the real reason she goes full Clark Griswold every year… and why even the eye-rolls are worth it.

Funny, cozy, zero judgment, and a reminder that traditions aren’t about perfection—they’re about showing up, making memories, and maybe traumatizing your teenager with early Christmas music (in the best way).

Grab your mug (or two beverages at once—no rules here) and settle in for the official kickoff to the 2025 holiday season.
