Candy Cane Crisis Crunches Christmas Cheer

Why, yes, we DID hit the elusive SEXTUPLE alliteration with that headline. We regret nothing. What is regretful, however, is that we didn't stock up on candy canes this holiday season, as there is a Candy Cane Crisis (TM Fox Business).

Yahoo: Millennials think Baby Boomers are irresponsible

Is that headline line a little inflamatory? Maybe. Was it intentional? Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe. Yahoo recently polled it's own millennial staff members and social media followers about things their baby boomer (and probably a few Gen X) parents used to let them do as kids.

Wichita considered among best cities for Christmas

There's a headline I didn't expect to see today. Wallet Hub put out a ranking of the Best Places for Christmas, and Wichita came in ranked at 31. Atlanta, GA, was considered the best city to be in for the holiday. As this is Wallet Hub, the rankings are basted on how much things cost. [...]
