    HAPPY HOLIDAYS, COMMUNITEA!  Auntea Kerel and Auntea Jerrell hold down the fort while Auntea Dawon battles the world's worst Airbnb Wi-Fi. We're kicking things off with a therapy session on "Holiday Late-ness"—is the 5-minute grace period real, or was your dad a "if you aren't an hour early, you're late" kind of man? We also dive into the dark side of the season: Retail Trauma. We talk about why hearing All I Want For Christmas Is You for the 500th time in a shift is a trigger, and why we all owe Jesus a 20-year-overdue apology for the lies we told to skip Bible study. Plus, the Aunteas go head-to-head in their Holiday Music Bracket 2025, debating which Christmas song truly deserves the crown.
