Hey guys, we are back on normally the show with normalish takes for when the news gets weird.

This week, once again, we are a little heavy on takes and lighter on news because we are doing an AMA.

I am Mary Catherine Ham.

And I'm Carol Markowitz.

Thanks so much for joining us.

I hope you guys have had a great break Carol.

And can I ask, what do you guys do in Florida? You guys light up your palm

trees? Is that what happens? As I sit in the snow here? The day after Thanksgiving,

Florida lights up all its palm trees. I mean, that's really literally what happens everywhere

around. I think it did start that early in New York either. It wasn't like the day

after Thanksgiving, all the lights went up. It's very organized here. Like a lot of things,

it just functions very, very well. And then one year, I think, you know, one community didn't have

its lights up and everybody was all up in arms about it because what are you doing? Like,

what's the delay here?

We've got some fun questions still coming in.

We'll do a couple serious ones.

But I like this one.

What was your favorite Christmas gift you ever received?

Yours will have to be a gift in general slash humka gift.

I'm just not like a, I don't know.

You know, I have to say, my husband and I are just not big gift givers.

I know that sounds awful, but like it's more like when we need something, we just get it.
