Okay, kids, I'm sitting by the fireplace,

sipping from my Mrs. Claus mug, which I will have out all year round.

And I'm here to talk about for a while,

and I've avoided talking about it because I feel like even the words social media

conjure such a butt clench in anyone hearing them.

It's just like, oh, but here we go. So I liked doing social

Once I started realizing the stress of social media, I really didn't, you know, I wasn't a fan, I didn't want to do it, I wanted just kind of not have any part in it.
