Smokey hogs the camera, I’m wearing my housecoat, and an important and timely story is included in today’s video.
Who’s getting excited for Christmas??? I sure am! I’ve got another Christmas tree in the background for ya! And because it’s basically Christmas now, I ate a chocolate right before I filmed this video. And…right after. Merry Christmas Eve, let’s talk tomorrow for my final advent calendar video!
