Jinger spoke out on the latest episode of The Jinger & Jeremy Podcast, which she co-hosts with her husband, Jeremy Vuolo, whom she married in 2016.

“We have not been back to the Duggar house since we’ve been married, in nine years, for Christmas, and we’re going this year,” Jeremy said.

Jinger went on to call it “exciting,” and revealed the reason they haven’t been to her family’s house for Christmas Day since is because it’s the only time of year Jeremy’s family is “all together.”

“Throughout the years, we’ve decided, like, ‘Okay, that’s going to be the time that we spend with the Vuolo family,” she explained, compared to the Duggars, who are “always together a lot.”

“It’s easy for us just to pop back. We went back one year, three times in one year, for weddings. So you’re like, ‘Oh, we weren’t there for the holidays,’ but we were there for multiple weddings,” Jinger went on to say.

“I miss it, so that’s also why,” she added. Watch above.

They also explained that they want their daughters Felicity and Evangeline to experience a “Duggar family Christmas.”

The two welcomed son Finnegan Charles in March this year.

A few years ago, she explained why she didn’t participate in Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets.
