What's up everybody?

You want to hear a shocking Strathing Stateness. to hear a shocking stat? Yes. It ain't winter yet. What? It feels like it. It sucks. It's cold. December 21st. Today's 17th. 18, 19, 22. Four days. We have four days. It's not even winter yet. This is terrible. Kill the groundhog or whatever happens.

I don't even know.

Is the groundhog come out and tell us this winter?

Hux the pony. Yeah. Huxable. Whatever is that. Huxable to groundhog. Kill them. It's terrible. December 21st is the first day of winter last through March 20th. winter begins on the winter solstice which is the shortest day of the the year, and ends with the equinox, which, do you know what that means? Equinox? Think about it. You can nail it. Even if you don't, you can nail it. Oh my gosh, it's a great gym. I've never been in the gym. But Equinox equal, it means it's, it's the most equal day and night. Oh. Oh, so as much as it's light outside, it's the same dark outside? Oh, that's cool. I thought that was every day. No. No, because the 21st is going to be the shortest day of the year. That means it's like little light. All right, I'm going to give you some shocking Christmas shopping news. Ready for it? Ready? Okay. wait until the last minute to buy your kids presents because stores are

actually desperate to sell out their stock so as if it's there and it's last minute they're looking

to cut deals to get them out they're starting to mark down prices the closer it actually gets to

christmas yeah did you know that uh well i mean i could see how you you get lucky if you get a deal

but then you run the risk of not getting it. Not getting it. I would say, too, if you're going to save two bucks, but you're going to spend 40 extra minutes trying to find a parking spot, it ain't worth that. Because if you're going to go the 23rd and the Christmas is on a Thursday this year, you're going to go on a Wednesday, on Tuesday. The mall is going to be miserable. Like, is it worth saving $2.50? I don't think so. On a hug-me Elmo. Yeah. You know, so they do say, though, find your target items. Check back the day before Christmas. And good luck. I just don't want to go.

I don't want to go.

That's from a woman's world,

a publication I frequent often.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And then finally, just speaking of winter and Christmas,

if your motivation disappears as soon as the temperature drops,

there is a scientific reason for that.

Researchers found that even a two degree drop in temperature reduces the amount of oxygen that gets to your brain,

making you feel lethargic and maybe foggy headed.

It's important to bundle up when it gets colder, especially your head, hands, and feet because you can start to feel lazier because of the cold weather.

That's an excuse for everybody out there.
