Naughty or Nice? We Rank Which Of The Duggars Have Been Good This Year

James Duggar: Nice!

James has been pretty good this year. We really don’t hear much about him aside from the occasional Instagram update from one of his many older siblings.

Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar: Naughty.

The couple is pretty perpetually on the naughty list for being so strict with their 19 kids. And these days, people are none too pleased with Jim Bob and Michelle for carting several family members off to Honduras for a mission trip.

Amy Duggar and Dillon King: Nice!

For getting away from the reality TV game at least a little bit this year, and instead, setting out and establishing her own business with the 3130 clothing boutique, we’re putting Amy and Dillon on the nice list…for now.

Derick Dillard and Jill Duggar: Naughty. Israel and Samuel Dillard: Nice!

Derick Dillard belongs on the naughty list for a whole lot of reasons, including his behavior toward Jazz Jennings and because he once told kids Santa isn’t real on Twitter. He hasn’t nearly made up for that one yet!

Jill Duggar is on the naughty list because of all those awful recipes she exposes her family and the rest of the world to. But Israel and Samuel are on the nice list because they deserve something good after dealing with their parents all year.

Jeremy Vuolo: Naughty. Jinger Duggar and Felicity Vuolo: Nice!

Jeremy is on the naughty list for his dated views on the LGBTQ community, and other gross points of view he shares in some of his sermons.

But his wife, Jinger Duggar, is on the nice list for getting further and further away from her strict upbringing, and their daughter, Felicity, deserves every present she wants from Santa this year for her smile alone.

Johannah and Jennifer Duggar: Nice!

Sadly, it probably won’t be long before these two end up in courtships, and before we know it they’ll be married and off popping out several Grand-Duggar babies. We’re letting Johannah and Jennifer hold onto their innocence for now and keeping them on the nice list.

Jana Duggar: Nice!

Listen, Jana deserves a drink and every single present under the Christmas tree for how well she appears to hold the Duggar household together. Since we can’t give her that, here’s hoping Santa at least brings her something nice for being good this year.

Ben, Spurgeon, and Henry Seewald: Nice! Jessa Duggar: Naughty.

Ben Seewald has been a little quieter on social media this year, and Spurgeon and Henry are just too darn cute to get coal in their stockings. But Jessa Duggar has been pretty snarky on Instagram, so we’re tipping her over to the naughty side of the list this Christmas.

Jeremiah Duggar: Naughty. Jedidiah Duggar: Nice!

The truth is, we don’t know a whole lot about these twin Duggar boys. But Jeremiah Duggar is widely considered “the hot one” amongst fans, and following Duggar logic, he’s “stirring up desires that cannot be righteously fulfilled,” so he’s landed on the naughty list. Jed can stay on the nice list for now.

Jason Duggar: Nice!

We’re putting Jason on the nice list because we literally know nothing about him and can barely pick him out of a Duggar lineup. Let’s give him the benefit of the doubt.

John David Duggar: Naughty. Abbie Grace Burnett: Nice!

Abbie is on the nice list this year because she seems so darn sweet and has really opened up John David in a way fans have never seen from the older Duggar boy. But John David landed on the naughty list for that alleged Walmart PDA. Nike! Coal for you, John David.

Josh Duggar: Naughty. Anna Duggar and their kids: Nice!

Josh Duggar is always and forever on the naughty list for obvious reasons. But we’ll put Anna on the nice list this year, and all their kids definitely deserve good things from Santa for everything their little family has been through. Mackynzie alone deserves several stockings for being such a great big sis!

Josiah Duggar and Lauren Swanson: Naughty.

That couple’s sweater earned them this spot. Think of all the naughty things they could get up to under that wool!

Josie Duggar: Nice!

Josie seems to have grown up a lot this year, and honestly, she’s my name twin and I want good things for her. Nice list it is!

Joseph Duggar, Kendra Caldwell, Garrett Duggar: Nice!

This whole little family deserves to be on the nice list. They’re just so…wholesome.

Jordyn Duggar: Nice!

The forgotten Duggar deserves tons of presents this year, and then some. We’re still hoping she’ll write the tell-all book one day!

Jackson and Grandma Mary Duggar: Nice!

OK, so we’re being a little generous with the nice list at this point. But Grandma Mary deserves presents from Santa for forever just for dealing with the Duggar laundry for so long, and Jackson hasn’t said anything gross on social media or anything like that, so no coal for either of these Duggars!

Tyler: Nice!

We don’t know much about Tyler — Michelle’s great-nephew the family adopted in 2016 — but we’re rooting for him.

Austin Forsyth: Naughty. Joy-Anna Duggar and Gideon Forsyth: Nice!

Austin Forsyth gets coal this year for making his wife go ice fishing while heavily pregnant, and for making his family move around so much. Joy-Anna Duggar tentatively stays on the nice list for now, and Gideon can chill there for a little while, too.

Justin Duggar: Nice!

…this one is Justin, right? Yea, sure, let’s let Santa bring him some pickles this year.
