We’ve officially reached the end of what’s likely been the most trying, and quite possibly the oddest year of our lives. 2020, amiright? One for the history books, eh?

The holiday season is in full swing, and Christmas is THIS WEEK! This year has been all kinds of weird, and the holidays look and feel different.
