I hope everyone is getting a chance to relax, eat their favorite holiday foods and spend time with people you actually like. If not, you can look forward to listening to Brad and I do yet another Holiday Gift Guide on the Pen Addict this week (episode goes live on Wednesday, Nov. 26). This is probably our tenth Holiday Gift Guide (neither one of us could verify the exact number, maybe 9, maybe 10 – -but it’s a lot!).
If all else fails, add more gravy.
