Oh, what fun it is to save shop new deals at it every day. We came across an article about holiday traditions that are slowly disappearing with these younger generations coming up. Some of these disappearing traditions include traveling for family gatherings. All we have to do is travel to one place. I do not miss the long drives to different aunts and uncles homes when I was growing up. I dreaded those days. And Danny, you get on a plane and do a family gathering pretty much every year, yeah? Yeah, I mean, however, like we said and I were talking about this a little bit before. The plane ride is really the longest. We don't really do anything once we get there. It's very relaxing. Yeah, it's not like we're going everywhere on Christmas day. Like when you think about some of those families that have like, you know, maybe their parents got divorced and now they have two different parents' houses to go to. And it's just like, "Oh, man, why don't you pick one for Christmas Eve, one for Christmas day?" Simplify another tradition that is slowly disappearing in-person holiday shopping. You know, and it's funny because obviously I get why Amazon.com and all these different websites that way you could just order stuff online. But before the world shut down, my wife and all of our family, they would like all the ladies, they would all get together and they would get a hotel either in Bellevue or Seattle. And they would just, it would be an all-day shopping affair, get dinner. And then instead of having a drive home because they're just so exhausted from spending all the money in the world, but they would just, they would just all crash together. It was a cool tradition that when everything got shut down, they've never picked that back up again. I liked it because then it was a reason for me to invite my buddies over to my house. Yeah. And we would all just get wasted and watch music videos all night long. And it was like our fun Christmas tradition. Like Ted would come over and then the mayor one time came over Joe. Nice. Yeah, it was always like a fun time. Now we can't do that. Another disappearing holiday tradition. Sending holiday cards, which I still love doing. I've got yours. Danny, I got yours finally. You did? Yep. Did you put it up somewhere very special? In the closet. Yes. It's a closet. I'm kidding. Well, all of these disappearing holiday traditions lead us to want to ask a simple question of our rock. And we'll start with Christian in Seattle. Christian, what is your holiday tradition? Yeah, every year when we get together for Christmas, I like to get the family drunk on white Russians. Whoa. Okay. That's the greatest tradition I've ever heard. Where's the invite? Yeah. Do you have like a special recipe that you do or is this a very traditional white Russian? Oh, actually, I guess I do. Yeah. I'm a little bit very sensitive. I don't think I'm not supposed to tolerate. I actually like to use oat milk instead of heavy cream. And it comes out all the same. Very delicious. Do you call it that do you say that we're dreaming of a white Russian Christmas? You know, that's a good idea. I'm going to bring that one up. But I do make sure that every time I wear my ugly sweater, which has a picture of the dude from the big without. Perfect. And it has all the jingle bells all over it. I mean, that is the perfect sweater to wear when you're drinking white Russians. You got to. Yes. Josh from Graham, our simple question to you. What is your holiday tradition? We get together on Christmas Eve, all the family, and then we stay up until midnight and let the kids open their presents and have the night. And then Christmas Day, they get to open the Christmas present from Santa. Oh, I love that. Oh, that's kind of cool. Do you know, are you at all concerned, though, letting your kids open a present midnight knowing full well that they're not going to bed anytime soon because they want to play with them? No, because then after that, I go to bed and then they're allowed to go to bed or stay up playing their toys or whatever they got. Yeah. That's the spirit. Go play or whatever you want to do. I'm going to bed. Leave me alone. Rose from Tacoma. What's your holiday tradition? The ugly Christmas tree. What do you put on an ugly Christmas tree? I mean, all the normal stuff. It's just the ugliest tree ever. And it started the year that that Farron was going in for his bone marrow transplant. Yes. We were supposed to go into the hospital about three days before Christmas, so we did not put up any decorations or get a tree or anything because we weren't going to have a Christmas. We were going to be in the hospital. And then the transplant coordinator asked if we could shift transplant to about a week after the new year because the donor wanted to not interrupt their holiday. Not a problem. So at the last second, we decided to just get a Christmas tree. That's all we needed to have a little bit of holiday spirit. So we go to our tree farm that we have gone to for years. And in the pre-cut section, they had the most hideous Christmas tree ever. And my ex-husband said that one. I want that one. And I was like, no, absolutely not. I need the perfect tree. And he said, he said, well, I think Farron should decide since he's the one that's battling leukemia. And, you know, never missing an opportunity to troll his mother. He said, I think we should get the ugly tree because we've had a pretty ugly year this year. The tree farm guy was like, I'll make you a heck of a deal on that tree. And I'm like, I hate you so much right now. Everybody's out to get me. Oh my gosh. So like, fine. How much do you want for this tree? And he goes, you don't really want that tree. And I'm like, apparently we do. And he said, well, we put it out as a joke. We were topping some of our big hundred foot trees and we just thought it was funny. And so if you guys really want that tree, you can just take it. Oh my gosh. Free tree. They're very expensive. Yeah. Yes. And I actually sent Sarah a couple of photos of it on Instagram so she can show you guys. Bro, she's showing it to us right now. They are some of the ugliest but most awesome trees I've ever seen. So it launched the ugly tree tradition and every, I can't always find an ugly tree that ugly every year, but I definitely try. So those are a couple of the ones that we've had over the last couple of years. That's an awesome tradition. That's an awesome tradition. And they saw, you know, showing love to your son that's awesome. Absolutely. Yeah, to honor him.
