Just Chillin’. No, Seriously, I’m Going to Lose a Thumb to Frostbite.
Chestnuts roasting in an oil drum fire, Jack Frost mugging you for your iPhone…though it is said, many times, many ways, it’s friggin’ cold outside, baby!!!!! Feel that Krispy Kringle chill in the air as we stomp through the various winter holidays of your particular denomination.

The end of the “whatever it’s called” decade.The Naughts? I prefer “The Naught-ies”.But whatever it’s called, it’s over.
