Well, what better way to start the
weekend and our show by doing a segment
of hot topics and today on hot topics
were talking about all things holiday,
including Advent calendars and the newest
dog owner here has one for her pooch.
I love this from Trader
Joe's every day is another treat.
It's his first Christmas,
so I thought that I had to do it all.
But last year I got a treat for myself.
I figure I've been wanting to get
one of those wine Advent calendar.
Yeah, and it was like height.
Of the pandemic,
so I figured we're not doing anything.
We're stuck inside,
so is there a bottle of wine a day?
It was like a small.
It was like an airplane size bottle of wine,
but it was super fun. I loved it.
I mean, I am here for that.
By the way, do they have cat Advent?
Calendars are just talked to, but
they're harder to find. Yeah,
that's right. All those characters,
OK, but the Advent calendar I I must have.
I've never seen one.
That's more exciting.
France chocolates.
They have one every year and this year.
It's this snowman with their
beautiful hand painted box.
And then 25 days of Nirvana,
I mean every day is a gift.
Oh my gosh, you like number one.
I love that number 10.
It was my favorite.
Salted salted chocolate
caramels and you know what?
They're beautifully wrapped individually.
So maybe if you decide to be
the giving kind of person,
you can give away whatever you get that day.
Although I'm not giving this mine and
you can reload it again every year.
This is just I mean, this is yeah,
just like the heaven belong.
Yes, the top at the top.
Another fun part of the holiday
season is the elf on the shelf.
We talked about this at
the beginning of the show.
And I am curious your mom?
Yeah,
buddy hadn't made an appearance
when my kids were little.
Thank goodness 'cause I kind of feel like
this is a little bit of HO on Earth.
Hell on Earth instead of piece on her right?
There's a lot of pressure related to buddy,
and his antics were her DOK.
So you probably did you have
enough on the shelf?
I
never had one and I don't have one now.
I don't have kids. I feel like
it's more fun when you have kids.
I would be open to doing it, but
how would you feel about an
ELF spying on you? As a child,
you're closer to childhood than I am.
Yeah, I don't like that.
I don't like that I was a good kid.
OK, do you?
Does your family invite an elf?
It was a good kid. I think
that the elf knows how busy we
are this time of year and I just,
you know, our family just wouldn't be
able to give the elf the attention.
Well that yeah, that's so good,
but I do have a ton of friends who do
it and I love looking at
their social media pictures.
But like you said pressure,
yeah, I mean it's a lot of pressure.
That's a lot. There's a lot going
on during the holidays, you know.
Get it, yeah, if you choose guests
off guest now Speaking of guests
cleaning up for guests is something
that's been on my mind lately and
I just learned there's something
online called clean influencers.
OK, yes, what is this
OK. Well even though I'm a part of
Gen Z, I've actually only heard
about this yesterday. Thanks
to Susie. I'm not until Susie. Yeah, I'm
actually on Tik T.O.K.
But so I kind of have two thoughts.
So my first thing is I don't
love like influencer culture
and I won't get into that.
But the second thing is,
I actually really like cleaning.
And being organized and neat,
and so you would like this I, I mean,
I would watch these videos I love.
I love a good cleaning tip,
but they give you like
hacks and tips. Yeah, and
it looks like you know,
people find it relaxing and
I I kind of read about.
It's something that came
up during the pandemic.
But you know, I've kind of been
teased about liking cleaning,
so if they're making it
cool then I'm here for
that person vacuuming their driveway.
Yeah, no, it's there.
It's a rug. They put the rug out.
Oh, OK. Thank you. I hate
cleaning, but I enjoy watching this.
I don't know why it doesn't make any sense.
You know why it's satisfied sizes?
So look at this.
Isn't that gorgeous? Is that?
That's not really cool, cleaner,
and we just called the Gordon.
Yeah, I don't know gorgeous.
I'm not here for color.
The color is fun.
What I wonder, though,
if this translates into more of us cleaning
because it is sometimes cool to watch it,
but I'm I'm motivated to get up
and go go clean unnecessarily.
But there are tips and tricks that I enjoy.
Yeah, I do enjoy that.
And and I love how you know the
social media science make it so.
You can share these.
Yeah, the people who clean in your life and I
think people just love it before and after.
Are we talking about?
Maybe your husband?
That's right.
I can't imagine that that's
really great for partnerships.
When you're forwarding the cleaning
videos to them, this wanted to see this.
How cool is live?
Alright, I'm working myself and travel.
