Hi Miss C. Of course you've been a good girl. It's all here in black & white & color. Put everything on autopilot and enjoy the day(s), hopefully with your family.

Merry Christmas.

OMG, keep that Artificial Intelligence Algorithm away from Christmas!
Hope you all enjoy the holiday celebration of your choosing.
Thank you Miss C for all you do for us.

Jumpin' jiminy, talk about coincidence!!  The "The 10 Least Successful Holiday Specials of All Time" was written over 15 years ago by a guy named John Scalzi... who also wrote a novel entitled "Redshirts" which played on the famous trope and won the 2013 Hugo Award for Best Novel.  And by some amazing line-up of cosmic forces, my dermatologist recommended that very book to me yesterday during my appointment!
