We're so close. We've almost made it! Christmas is almost over!!!

Ever since the Christmas season started back in August, I've been itching for January. I'm not a Scrooge, or even a Grinch; I just can't stand 4 months of tidings and joy.

Okay maybe I'm a bit of a Grinch Scrooge.

Nothing like spiked blood sugar and an overworked liver to bring out the festive holiday spirit! Die Hard is a Christmas movie END OF DISCUSSION.

Profound, right? Today's Question of the Century on The Loon Morning Show involved Christmas traditions...that are overrated.
