- Good morning, Clan.
Merry Christmas Eve.
Is that a thing? Do you say that?
A Merry Christmas Eve, I don't know.
Anyways, it is Christmas Eve, it is 11:49 A.M.
and our house is just about ready for
our guests to start arriving.
I believe my grandma is gonna get over here early just 'cause
that's what grandmas do.
Tiffany's mom's probably gonna get here early 'cause she's
gonna come, start cooking.
Bryce is being a goofball.
I'm trying to vlog over here, dude.
- Hey. - [Clintus] You creeped me out.
Go pick up dog poo. - I'm petting the dog.
- [Clintus] If you start picking it up,
she'll leave you a fresh-y.
She'll drop a fresh one for you.
- No. I'm good. (Clintus laughs)
- So, tradition in my family Christmas Eve we do Mexican food
'cause, you know, we live in Arizona,
desert, southwest, we're actually just having this
discussion with Bryce, why we eat so much Mexican food.
Because being so close to Mexico
we have really good Mexican food.
We were raised on good Mexican food therefore we inherently
love Mexican food.
So we're making tamale casserole.
- Mexican pot luck.
- Yeah, we're having a Mexican pot luck but
what are you making?
- Tamale casserole. - Tamale casserole.
- I've never made it. Hopefully it's good.
- It'll be good. It's gonna be good.
My grandma's bringing goop.
Which goop is consistency of
ground beef and refried beans, mixed.
It's kinda soupy, not soupy but like goopy.
It's goopy, goop. Get it?
Then you make tacos tostadas out of it.
I'm sure one of my brothers will bring rice.
The other one's gonna bring guacamole and salsa.
- [Tiffany] No, it's a mystery pot luck.
- Yeah, well we don't know exactly what everyone's bringing
but I'm making guesses. I'm making guesses.
Someone's gonna bring rice,
someone's gonna bring like salsa and guacamole.
Yeah, so, I'm very excited.
But I have one more stop to make.
As you guys know, yesterday me and Bryce did some
last minute shopping.
There is one couple that I didn't buy something for because
I was trying to be unique with each person.
Wasn't able to find a unique gift for this couple so I'm
gonna go back, I'm gonna try one more store on the way and if I
don't find something there I'm gonna go back to the store I was
at yesterday and just buy the same gift that I got another
couple and just like it is what it is.
'Cause I'm buying 'em gifts. 'Cause that's what I want to do.
- [Tiffany] You back in the kitchen?
He's been helping me a lot lately.
- Only when I'm invited. Sometimes she's like,
"Get out of the kitchen. You're in my way."
Other times she's like,
"Can you help me? Can you chop my onions for me?"
Alright, so this is the next round
of Tiffany's tamale casserole.
Nice and crispy on top.
Meemaw's cooking something here.
She'll make another casserole.
I just got done making the guacamole
so we're just letting that chill. Oh yeah.
Alright, I got the customary chips and salsa, guacamole.
Some cream cheese with, what is that?
Jalapeño jelly? - [Bryce] It's pretty good.
- [Clintus] A little jalapeño jelly.
We'll make some enchiladas here real quick.
We got one casserole in here.
Another one down here.
My grandma's brought her goop here.
The Bevos brought queso dip here.
Family is starting to arrive.
It's time to chip and dip.
- So me and Uncle Austin just handmade these.
- [Clintus] I know, I missed it. I was talking.
- [Sierra] Well, we're gonna make another tray.
- [Clintus] I want to see how you make 'em.
- [Sierra] He puts like cheese and the sauce in there and he
just pours on the tortillas, and rolls 'em up.
- [Clintus] That's how you make enchiladas.
Alright, let's do the greens.
- [Austin] It's just like that.
That'll work.
- [Clintus] Now, Sierra's making some punch.
What are you makin'?
- Snowball punch. - [Clintus] Snowball punch.
- It's gonna look like snowballs 'cause I'm gonna
put ice cream scoops in it.
- [Clintus] I like it, I like it.
Some Hawaiian Punch, some pineapple juice,
some Sprite, some ice cream.
Oh yeah. - [Sierra] Very sugary. (laughs)
(indistinct chatter)
- [Clintus] You got to jump, Victoria.
Yeah, good job, Max.
All wrapped up with dinner.
Desserts are starting to make their way out.
Everyone's outside enjoying the amazing weather.
It is

A little sunny, just nice, right?
Like a little light sweater.
We got some of the space heaters going on.
Cardinals are kicking butt on TV.
Kids are getting antsy.
They're getting ready to open those presents
so I think we're gonna start that now.

(indistinct chatter)
