Summary
Happy New Year, Calm Down community! The holiday season may be winding down, but the NFL season is winding up tight! Charissa looks back on her week 17 game on Christmas Day in Kansas City for Broncos at Chiefs. She tells the story of her Amazon team's white elephant celebration complete with matching onesies and a real Christmas tree on the road!
Meanwhile, Erin's week 17 was spent battling a travel nightmare to get to her game in Buffalo. Then, at the game as the Bills battled the Eagles, Erin was battling the coldest rain possible on the sidelines as well as technical challenges.
They talk New Year's resolutions and their after Christmas, Christmas celebration together. Erin tells the story of her girl, Claire's reaction when she saw herself in the crowd on Taylor Swift's "End of and Era" documentary.
Rancher Steve, or Beave as he now likes to be called, makes an appearance in between cattle tendin' and holds his New Years resolutions close to his ranch coat.
