Nicole and Rich wrap up your week, exhausted by Elf on the Shelf and the added challenge of keeping the Santa myth alive. Their advice for parents participating in Elf on the Shelf? Use your worst penmanship to keep the magic going!

Do the holidays bring out the most awkward conversations with your kids? Nicole experienced it firsthand during last weekend’s road trip with her children. Their curious questions included: What do clouds taste like? What’s cremation? and Can you smile at someone and say they have an ugly face without being mean?

Meanwhile, Rich and producer Jess share their love for Home Depot, but Nicole is still frustrated that they didn’t help Matt secure their Christmas tree on top of their car.

And you won't want to miss Today’s Top That featuring donut eating, football watching, and freezing in pajamas—because what’s the holiday season without a little chaos?
