This is probably my favorite time of year if you take away the fact that, ya know, there’s no baseball going on. The snow and misery of winter hasn’t really hit us yet, people are generally cheerful, houses all around the block are decked out, the movies and TV specials are great. The music is awful — hot take alert! — but everything else about the holidays is great. Well, except maybe for the shopping. Some of the shopping can be a great time trying to find the perfect gift for that person or people in your life, but then there’s always one or two where you just get totally stumped.
