Enjoy some of our favorite holiday classics.

Howdy! It’s Joey, back with more Fun Fact Friyay. Today, we’re taking a look at some classic holiday facts.

Most of us have at least one holiday tradition. Perhaps yours is trying to eat as many cookies as you can or finding clever ways to incorporate eggnog into your cooking. Maybe you watch A Christmas Story or Home Alone every year, or the “Santa Baby” SNL sketch is appointment viewing.

Whatever your celebration looks like, there’s comfort in the familiar. That extends to fun facts, too.
