Yes, we were just here a few days ago! But tomorrow, Heather and I are kicking off our end of the year content -- we'll still be posting lots of fun stuff, so come by over the next few weeks if you have a spare moment, but normal posts are on vacation until 2022, unless someone does something like......WILDLY noteworthy -- and, ergo, the time has come to post the Last Christmas video and get this party started. (With apologies, I suppose, if you are doing Whamageddon. Personally, I don't know why you'd want to avoid George Michael!)

Oh! Speaking of engrossing entertainment over the break, our 30 Days Free promo for Acorn TV still works -- [just use promo code FUGGIRLS30](https://l.instagram.com/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2Facorn%5Ffuggirls&e=ATMeVXcDyIse%5FyZWSX3OohwWQSQXG51dy7Ce%5FWd7pZaHRoqIFPRtNZR27aXiDwgWIWOezuY18Azs22w5VGB%5FUZvOK2-us7za2TV-Wg&s=1&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). (We are ad partners with Acorn, but this blog mention wasn't compensated. I just thought you might want cozy British murders that week between Christmas and New Years.)
