Merry Christmas Eve!
In this special episode, Colm opens up about the reality of facing his first Christmas without his wife, Anne. He reveals why he can't face the traditions at home this year and is taking his kids to New York and Miami to escape the memories .

Dream Dinner Guests: Who would you invite? Colm picks Roy Keane and Reese Witherspoon. Rebecca chooses chaos with Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and Enoch Burke in the "bad boy corner" .
The "Heineken" Letter: Colm tells a true story about a neighbor who sent a begging letter asking specifically for cans of beer .
Nativity Fails: Why Rebecca couldn't see her child in the play, and why we think the Three Wise Men weren't actually that wise .
