So the host sends her home with a doggy bag of the food she wouldn't eat. A mother-in-law who has claimed the good holiday for ten years running. Two letters from Vaughan, both about the same thing: who gets to decide.\n\nPlus the holiday group chat. The longest message you've ever seen, a reply to a question from nine messages ago, and one uncle who sends a thumbs-up. To what, Frank? What have you agreed to?\n\nJoseph reads both letters, torches neither woman who wrote in, and admits that one disappointed \"oh, okay then\" on the phone and he'd offer to host both families, cook two turkeys, and pick everybody up. And bring back his container.\n\nThis episode is brought to you by Savor Us Catering in Vaughan. Elvira and her team cater across the GTA.
