That was made abundantly clear when I was gobbling down pounds of turkey and sitting next to my “whoops I had one too many glasses of wine” grandmother.

Here’s another warm story from Jenny in accounting… So the holidays are fast approaching and I’ll cop to having pulled out our favorite Christmas dvd’s at home already.

Note: There are no links in this post. Intentionally. No photos. No videos…..nah, that’s not true. I’ll put a video at the end so you have something to do when it’s all over. Human communication.
