David is the master of random phrases and expressions. He gave us two new ones today: "Whistling past the graveyard" and "let your smile be an umbrella" -- Sue, Kendra and Aiden had puzzled looks. Have you ever heard of these expressions?

Kendra still has her Christmas tree outside in her driveway. She has convinced herself that there is an abundance of farmers and builders who will take and use the wood... 

Sue is (without a doubt) the keeper and the thrower-awayer of all questionable smelly things in the office fridge.

What is the obsession with the 40 ounce GIGANTIC Stanley Tumbler Cups? None of us walked around with giant water bottles in school... so what is the deal with this trend??

Intern Aiden is back from his holiday travels... from Seattle to Portland to Boise, Idaho! We have always wondered what people do in Boise, Idaho....

David just put his Christmas tree away but still has the bins everywhere, Sue has her Christmas stuff away and cleaned out one closet... but Kendra not only got her Christmas stuff put away but she cleaned out her entire house: donated or sold all the clutter!

Its the Friday before Christmas and the silly dust is CLEARLY in the air. David and Sue think Kendra has been slap happy all morning .... and they are not wrong.

We loved talking with Karen Blake, the host of our afternoon drive, about her Christmas prep. She hosts Christmas Eve and is planning to go food shopping on SATURDAY!!!! 

The MAGIC listeners called in to tell us whether they are hosting or guesting.... and if anyone is REALLY ready for Christmas!

There are two kinds of people at the holidays: Those who always HOST, and those who always GUEST. David and Kendra are fabulous guests... and I think we all know who the HOSTESS WITH THE MOSTESS is............
