Merry Christmas, everyone! Ben and Mark take a break from their previously scheduled programming to bring you reminiscences from Christmases past and some great ideas for bonding as a family or as a work team. Mark paints a picturesque scene from Christmas mornings spent at his grandmother’s house as a big, happy, Italian family and the laser tag set that brought him such joy. Ben remembers the surprising happiness that came from receiving his first pocket-sized “video game” as well as the electric train set and race cars that every young boy looks for under the tree. 

As a native Ohioan, Ben talks of strange delicacies called buckeyes and scotcheroos – if you know, you know. While Mark’s favorite treats of molasses cookies and no bake cookies are more universally known. In the days leading up to Christmas, the Labriola family can be seen walking around Target in their Christmas jammies so the kids can shop for each other, while the Manley family opts for quiet nights by the fire sipping egg nog. Ben’s family has donned the moniker of “The Christmas Ninjas” this year, hoping to deliver surprise gifts to families in need. 

Both Mark and Ben have been known to pull a prank or two in their day, and if you’re looking for some unique ideas, you’ll have to listen in for all the details. Since there is no action item this week, you might just have the time to prank someone in your life.
