Christmas Eve is magic. Always has been, always will be in my book! (That’s because my book is entitled “Christmas Eve is Magic.”) It’s my favorite day of the year and it totally kicks the butt of Easter Eve and decimates Secretary’s Day Eve. The giddy anticipation of Santa’s visit culminates on this marvelous night and if I could bottle this wonderful feeling of good will (and slight greed), I would.

We never had a new car growing up, so the feeling was new and it was kind of magical.
A while back my favorite intrepid video explorer@morganclinesent me a delightful vid called “Cold Drinks” (below). Not only did it make me thirsty and very dancey (I counted it as a workout), it sent me into a dizzying YouTube search pit looking for other oddly fascinating employee training treasures. I found some goodies and then moved on to looking for old Big Drill Car videos, as you would expect.
