In today's episode Nicky P and Lizzie spend a few minutes addressing their absence.

In today's episode Nicky P and Lizzie ask each other the question we are all asking. Are you over 2020? It often feels like we want to ask 2020 that same question. Has it had its fill torment? Is it gonna move on in January? I suppose the answer isn't terribly relevant because no matter what it throws at us we owe it to Erma to take it head on and reach the next little island of accomplishment for her. As we talk through our goals for 2021 and review our performance in 2020 we see piles of progress (more like filled in holes) we have to take stock of what was good decisions paying off or luck. As we've been harping on understanding what we can take credit for in our lives will serve us better than self esteem ever could. Personally I think peace is all about keeping your outer and inner perceptions congruous or at least explainable.     Links https://organize365.com/100-Day-Home-Organization-Program   Featured Music 1st Song: Pleased To Meet You - The Satellite Era 2nd Song: On My Way - Craig Conley

  In today's episode Nicky P and Lizzie are gonna ruffle some feathers with their review of Elf. The Will Farrell comedy is revered as a modern holiday classic but does it deserve the acclaim? Does crying immediately make the movie good? Is Zooey Deschanel a natural brunette? Who is better looking, her or her sister? We explore these questions and more in today's episode.       Beverages For Round The Fireplace Nicky P has decided refreshing was what he needed for today's beverage and the Cape May Cranberry Mule fits the bill with a recipe from townandcountrymag.com featuring: vodka, muddled fresh cranberries, ginger beer, lime & ice.  Lizzie has found a delicious liquid version of her favorite holiday candy. The Turkish Delight Cocktail made from a delicious.com recipe features: rose petal infused gin, creme de cacao, lemon juice, vanilla syrup, and egg white. It's a little too much rose petals and baking ingredients for me but its perfect for Lizzie.     Christmas Sweater Fever Nicky P has put laziness ahead of creativity today and has shown up in an advent sweater. You've never heard of an advent sweater? It's the only article of clothing that its appropriate to wear for 25 days in a row. Use your imagination and try not to imagine the smell. For today's fashion choice Lizzie has swapped one nerd franchise for another and put aside the modern sins made by certain actors in an effort to rep one of her all time favorite shows. Her "Make It Snow" sweater featuring Captain Picard brings her all kinds of warm feelings and certainly no judgmental feelings about how dirty the Picard show did fans.     Links For Arthur Christmas Visit the Wikipedia:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elf_(film Check out the IMDB:  https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0319343/

Have a listen and find out what we think anyway.       Beverages For Round The Fireplace Nicky P is yet again enjoying a wintery version of an iced favorite with a Salted Caramel White Russian with a recipe borrowed from inspiredbycharm.com featuring: Salted Caramel Kaluha, Salted Caramel Vodka, Half & Half & Caramel sauce to garnish. Lizzie on the other hand has opted to drink like my grandmother with a simple yet aromatic Bourbon Cocktail from biscuitsandburlap.com featuring: bourbon, honey, sage and orange for garnish.     Christmas Sweater Fever In an unprecedented move both Nicky P and Lizzie have shown up in virtually the same festive garb, wearing gift wrapped boxes over their respective genitalia in homage to the classic Justin Timberlake/Andy Samberg bit.
