Happy Holidays nerds! It's that time of year and we're talking about how the Holidays as kids were WAY better than now when you have all the responsibilities where you have to keep the house all neat and put up your decor, plan family gatherings and survive shopping for presents and cook for 20 and get the kids to their plays and mail out the cards and get the tree up and put up the lights and fix the lights then curse the lights then just buy new lights....anyway, we'll talk about this and tell some great stories while enjoying the El Mago Lotus cigar and the Glenlivet Caribbean Reserve scotch.
