Hello, everyone, and welcome to another episode of getting hammered.

We are your morning show for any hour.

I am your host, Mary Catherine Ham.

I am here with my co-host, Vic Maddus of the Washington Free Beacon, and we are making it happen for one more episode in the year 2025. Look at us, Bick.

Hello, Mary Catherine. Nice to see you. Hope you had a lovely Christmas. Mine was, mine was good.

You know, it was busy. You just try to get to that finish line of parents and in-laws, families, right?

And you got to do both.

We have your own.

And then you got to do some traveling.

I know you did.

I want to hear all about that.

We had the in-laws over first at home.

And then on Christmas Day, we drove up to New Jersey, which is great because there's

no traffic in the morning as we know everybody's waking up and opening up presents. And there we

are on the New Jersey Turnpike. Nevertheless, we got to my dad's house before noon and Kate

was great. You know, it's like we brought Christmas to my dad and all the presents, stockings.

There were some Christmas. There's a Filipino Christmas star that my dad usually hangs, but at

his age, it's too hard for him to do it. So first thing I did when we got in the house is let's

hang the star in the window. And so everything is very nice. Now, how does this hanging come about? Is it inside? Yes. So it's not outside on the facade. No, no, no. There's a, he has a sort of large bay window in the living room and there's a little hook on the inside. So, you know, you just have to put it on that hook and then plug it in. Okay.

And what makes this star, Philippine?

Well, it's, it's like a big red star.

I want to say it looks like a pedigrap because that would be the wrong thing to say.
