Good Afternoon,

I cannot believe that it's December already. Can you? Where did the year go?

Well, I thought that you should be aware of the 31 Bizarre December Holidays that will keep you busy next month. Oh, and there's Christmas, Boxing Day, Chanukah, Kwanzaa, Festivus, and New Year's Eve. Trust me, you're definitely going to be busy.

Mouthing Off,
Carl
