Current favorite Christmas song:
“Penguin, James Penguin” by Brad Paisley. If you haven’t heard it, and if you don’t mind ‘silly’ songs – this is so cute! “Penguin, James Penguin, that dapper little guy…”
What year is it?
It’s weird. Most years, people write the previous year on paperwork for weeks, if not months. But I’ve seen more than just me trying to put “2008” on stuff for several weeks now! I wonder why we’re so eager to get to 2008?

We’re offering a reward.
