Looks like a knit skirt (black) and leggings (black).

Even so, the skirt looks waaaaay shorter than what she would usually consider! It barely is longer than the coat. I consider this some sort of small progress!

I thought this was an engagement announcement since Jana is holding hands with this sweet little old man.

Jesus, the electric bill!!

Also... all my shoes have come from walmart/payless my whole life, and they last a couple years at least.  I wore the same pair of target flip flops for 4 or more years.  Now, I did have 1 pair of Sketchers from Bealls, and they lasted..... 14ish years.

They decorated that whole fence with lights?  Oh my stars what a job and yes what an electric bill.

I don't think it's progress so much as it's Operation Make Jed Look Mainstream. 

Jana seems to be one of his designated accountability and normalization partners. Perhaps the primary one. And several times recently she's been dressed in positively normal, nice-looking clothes -- way shorter than usual and relatively form-fitting -- usually on Jed Watch at the time. 

As always, they're being duplicitous.

Trying to con voters into thinking they're not weirdo cult members and nutjobs who drip misogyny and several other antediluvian bigotries and control-freak fetishes they're dying to impose on the rest of us if any of them can get elevated to lawmaker status. 

Don't fall for it. 😁

Where does Jed! live? If he's  not at the 'big house' and is unmarried, why is that ok for him? Their strict beliefs and rules state that all unmarried must live at home with their parents until their wedding? John David had to live at home until he was 29 and married 'Miss Muppet Brows". They need to explain why it's ok for !Jed to do so now.

He's running for office (the state legislature?) in a local district in which the TTH is *not* located. He claims to live in a house in that district. 

Obviously, obtaining political power creates exceptions to the Duggars' Godly rules about household and family organization, parental headship over unmarried adults, etc.

Because obviously political and worldly power are more important than their Jesus-y family rules. 

IMO the Duggars worship money and worldly power and not even Jesus gets in their way. They didn't hesitate for a second to plunge their entire (mostly very young) family into the world of reality TV - although they were fresh from the revelation that their oldest son had molested multiple small girls under their own roof. You have to be fucking cold, ruthless, selfish, ambitious WORLDLY people to do that. 

And I'm sure Jesus has blessed them for that decision. They are famous and wealthy and appear to have a permanent slot on the TLC lineup. Yay, Jesus!

Cos they do things a little differently? Cos they lie about just about everything? Cos getting an ebil woman out of office is more important? Everything about Jed! and this campaign reeks with the stench of the worst Duggar beliefs so we will never get a straight answer from them. Most we will hear is that Boob and Jed! prayed about it and Jesus told Jed! to run for election.

Yep. Somehow Jesus and the Duggars see eye to eye on politics and money and stuff. It's just so miraculous and blessed, ain't it. /sarcasm

I've never seen Jed or any of the other Duggar boys give a rat's ass about the Littles or the nieces or nephews, and now he's all about the babies? Sure, Jan.

Maybe Jed is taking a note from Lawson Bates, who is always posting pics of himself with a baby.  It makes them look more relatable and having those "family values" that none of us have.

That would take a while, I agree! I was thinking that their lights look like the small LED bulbs. According to the Washington Post, a string of 100 mini LED lights only costs $0.41 to operate for 45 days at 12 hours/day at an electricity price of $0.12/kilowatt hour. So even if the Duggars put up 50 strings of these lights it would only cost about $20 to run them for 12 hours/day for 45 days (quite a bit into January).

Justin was the only person who seemed to care about Jordyn during her toddlerhood after miracle-Josie came along, and he and James have both been pictured holding various baby nieces and nephews. They are potentially decent brother-uncle-dads. Jed, not so much...

[DangerousMinds]

Didn’t they claim in the past not to have a tree or do secular Christmas decorating?

Jed is full of shit. He knows damn well he's at the big house every week to drop of his dirty laundry for Jana to wash. 

Also, don't they all still attend the same church? I'm sure he sees the kids there. He's acting like he moved across the country.

To be honest, we don't know where Benessa attend church. But yeah, I also imagine that Jed! is also at the Big House for Monday Family Fun night.

jedi was in the pics on thanksgiving looking completely bored.

so he was at the big house and saw the m kids then

yes you are right - when I found that video it said 2010 - I should have paid more attention to the ages of the kids

[ozziemom]

In the EW article Meechelle states Christmas tree is not a priority. They were too busy hanging Happy Birthday Jesus banners, singing hymns and making baskets for the poor. Hahaha. Somehow I don’t believe it. But hey, I guess their priorities changed? Or maybe now that Jana doesn’t have all those babies to watch she has time for a tree and decorating.

Well it beats decorating the Stink Bus & floats for Christmas parades way back when.  You remember,  when Mechelle nursed whatever baby girl standing on a float wearing one of those Mother's Breast Friend things.  (For newer viewers - hard to believe but she really did.)

I'd heard about this but never saw it and had to look this up. I sincerely regret doing so. 🤣

If it’s the episode I’m thinking of, my favorite part (possibly the only good part) was the background music, which implied serious impending doom.

Aren't they just thin sweatshirts  and a lightweight fleece?  Jackson is wearing a vest.  It's nearly winter!  I wear a sweatshirt/hoodie/fleece whenever I'm just sitting around reading or watching TV.  They are at Joy's new house and maybe she keeps the thermostat lower to save money.

That's what I thought too. Not really outerwear. Just typical cold weather clothing.

Because the uppermost thought in everyone's mind on Family Fun Night is how soon it'll be over so they can leave? (in their case, of course, to go sit around with their jaws hanging slack somewhere else, I suppose...)

At my house in the winter, you'll see some family members wearing outerwear or snuggled up in a blanket while others are sauntering around barefoot in shorts and t-shirts! No way can you keep everyone happy. That's why dressing in layers was invented!

[Portia]

As for rotating Family Fun Night . . . I wonder if it is always held at the TTH, but each week a different person is responsible for planning the food and whatever lame activity passes for fun with these people.

again showing us the fakeness of duggar rules - wasn't one rule that was touted time and again no girls sit on a boys lap or girls aren't held by the boys or some such line. paired with never paying hide and seek etc?
