Hey, Jess.

Hey, Ryan.

How's it going?

Pretty good.

How about you?

Not bad.

So it's Monday, December 29th.

And I know there are some people who are warming up their frigid cars right now trying to get to work.

And then there are some people who are cozy in their pajamas by fire and have the rest of the week off.

Right.

Which one of those people are you?

The latter, I think, today. What about you?

So I've got the pajamas. I've got the rest of the week off. But this, I think, today. What about you? So I've got the, I've got the pajamas, I've got

the rest of the week off, but this time of year is so chaotic that, can I make a case to you

for why I think Christmas and Valentine's Day should switch places? Yes. Have I not told you

this yet? No. Christmas should be February 14th and Valentine's Day

should be December 25th. Why? The reason is because the fall is way too crowded. You've got

Halloween, less than 38 days later, you've got Thanksgiving, then less than 30 days later you've got

Christmas. It's too busy. There's too much going on. You just saw your family and traveled around Thanksgiving and then you're going to do it again 30 days later. And then you've got the doldrums of the wintertime. You've got January and February with like nothing to look forward to. It would be perfect if you just have Valentine's Day, the romance holiday leading right into New Year's Eve, another romance holiday,

you kind of get your date set up for, you know, what you're going to do on New Year's Eve.

And then January 1st comes around and that kicks off like six weeks of the Christmas season.

And then at the bottom of winter, you know, you've got Christmas, the middle of February.
