Season 31 Kickoff: We Had a Plan… Then Cousin Seth Showed Up

<p>Season 31 is here , Christmas Cousins (yes, 31, Seth even triple checked out math)! </p><p><br></p><p>We arrived with an agenda, an outline and the almost-professional intention of previewing our upcoming fall episodes while laying out Cousin Seth’s next seasonal semester: what exactly must our former Jolly Junior accomplish to advance from Kringle Kindergarten to Festive First Grade on his long and winding road toward Christmas High School?</p><p><br></p><p>It was an excellent plan. It lasted approximately three minutes...until Cousin Seth started talking.</p><p><br></p><p>One life update led to another, and suddenly our carefully constructed fall preview was tossed aside as we discussed Seth&#39;s love life. And because this is the Christmas Cousins and apparently boundaries are merely suggestions, before long we were meeting Lindsay herself—live on the show.</p><p>So forget the syllabus. Forget the lesson plan. Today we’re talking Seth, Lindsay, life updates, love and whatever else happened once we completely surrendered control of the episode.</p><p>It’s the quintessential Christmas Cousins show: we came prepared with a topic and discovered reality was considerably more entertaining.</p><p>We promise the fall festivities, seasonal education and Cousin Seth’s matriculation toward Festive First Grade will resume shortly. But some breaking Cousin news simply demands the floor. </p><p></p>
