There are two kinds of people in this world: Those who wear fake reindeer antlers during the Christmas season and those that don't.
I am the former.
What. You thought I would be the latter? Just because I love to make fun of crap? Honestly, what kind of pop culture writer would I be if I didn't take the time to celebrate the season of giving? Mostly giving crap, but I digress.
