Spending time with family for the holidays is always nice, but I have to admit I’m usually most excited for the food. Seems to me most everyone on the KP team feels similarly. I asked everyone what their favorite holiday meals and drinks were, and they had a LOT to say. |

You know that one friend of yours that is obnoxiously pro-Christmas? That starts listening to holiday tunes in September (ok, ok ... in August), regales their cubicle with all manner of tinsel and twinkling lights, and won't stop droning on about how it's the most wooooonderful time of the year?
