LISA DENTON: Well, ho ho ho, Barry. We’ve made it to Christmas Eve.

BARRY COURTER: Well, back at you, but I don’t understand the name calling.

LISA: Haha. With Christmas upon us, that means it’s time to start thinking about New Year’s.

Just kidding. But not really. It would be wise to start thinking now about where you want to go on New Year’s Eve because so many of the parties around town need a head count.

But who wants to rush through Christmas? Not me.
