It’s Monday, plus the third day of Kwanzaa and the fourth day of Christmas. Birthdays: Earl Hines, Pops Staples, Maggie Smith. What fragrance are you wearing?

Reminder: 1/1 is New Years Day…Rabbit rabbit rabbit…

Lazy weekend poll ~ Boxing Day 2020
Saturday is Boxing Day, Candy Cane Day, the first day of Kwanzaa and the second day of Christmas. We’re celebrating all of it with our usual open thread poll.
