60 were going to wait because theyre looking for deals. The reality is they can get emof this the other reality retailers recognize it. And it is growing to hurt profits in a big way. Thats a concern for the retail season of the interesting numbers were, on saturday and sunday, they actually were up up over 2 last year which is a good thing for the country. At least it is going up. It was not flat. 42 million versus 41 for the year. Tracy is that because many of us did not shop on black friday . I personally waited because i knew deals and discounts would get better. I got myself free twoday shipping. There is certain point you can really hold out to get the best deal. That was part of it. People are recognizing with the game and with apps and technology and software that helps you figure this out. But heres big warning. Dont wait any longer. Today is really day to do it. I recognize a lot of companies are suggesting you can get shipping even the day on wednesday, Christmas Eve but i also know of a lot of horror stories. In fact people were already expecting theyre shipments and are not getting them. Push the button. Go ahead do it today. Make sure you get it done so you dont end up with unhappy kid or loved one on Christmas Day. Tracy right, otherwise, god forbid you would have to actually go to a brickandmortar purchase the thing. That to me is blasphemy at this point. You have have amazon offering same day delivery. Ebay is offering five bucks. Google express. There are some deals out there . You can get sameday delivery as they suggest but practical reality it doesnt always happen. So the more time that you can give yourself the better. There are also many stores that you can still go into and pick up the same day. That may be a safer bet. At least you can get your hand on it. The worst thing that could ever happen, you order something and it doesnt show. Tracy been there, done that. No hot gift, right . I guess iphone 6 aside, nothing really driving people to the malls . Well, if youre a kid, anything from the frozen movie. Fair enough. Bar by and ken are both in trouble, theyre hurting this year. If youre sale, youre elsa, youre kilometer mored. For adults, clothe something hot, but definitely electronics. Those things you can get in the stores even the last few days. Tracy eric, do you feel like gas prices helped at all . It makes us feel good but at the end of the day are we really spending more . Gas prices for those that havent felt it directly have absolutely helped. Oil is now below 60. It has affected gas in a big way. It is lowest its been in years. So people have more money to spend but they are also smarter and theyre careful what they want to do with that money but they are spending it. I think you will see increase over last year of roughly 2 . Not the best but at least were moving in the right direction. It could be even better. Gas helped that. Tracy thats something. What about the day after . This year Christmas Falls on thursday. So everyone can go shopping on property christmas sales on friday. I would say that is the best day to shop. There is no question, after christmas you will always get better deals. So if you can hold out, if you dont have anyone thats waiting or there are other things you want to get, no question you want to do that. Again, online would probably be your best bet there because of the reality, you wont have the shipping crunch and you will be able to wheel and deal more. Tracy yeah, amen. God bless elsa, right . We love her. God bless elsa. Tracy eric, Merry Christmas. Thank you. Merry christmas. Take care. Tracy we want to know what you think. Here is our question tonight, have you finished your Christmas Shopping . Log on to gerriwillis. Com and vote on the righthand side of the screen and well show results at the end of tonights show. Here is a gift, just in time for holiday travel, a nasty weather system heading our way again. If the snowstorm this thanksgiving wasnt enough. It is expected to impact the eastern half of the country bringing on major holiday headaches. Here with what to expect, accuweather meteorologist. Justin, really . It is not snow though, right . No, it is a mixed bag of a lot of things, a lot of rain coming in, some wind. A little bit of snow. We love to see snow around the christmas season, like you said a lot of travel in packs even though this is not extremely intense storm, it is big storm in size. Covering a lot of real estate into the midwest and eventually the east as well. Well see soaking downpours and a lot of travel delays along heavily traveled interstate 95 corridor, especially washington, d. C. Northbound to boston. Biel deal with Severe Weather along the gulf coast states. There is outside chance of a tornado and damaging wind as we. As we go through time Christmas Eve, low pressure into the great lakes. A couple of inches of snow from chicago into central michigan. That is about it. Much of it is green. With rain, comes travel delays on roads and also through the air. Looking at potential for flooding as well into central and northern new england. There is snow as system kicks its way north and eastbound, much of us deal with colder conditions on thursday. Poor traveling conditions in the areas highlighted in red. Not just the east coast. If in the northwest, another storm on the way. As we head into Christmas Day well look through snow an Intermountain West and snow in the northeast. Biggest travel impacts are wednesday and thursday night up and down the eastern seaboard. Tracy Merry Christmas to you there too, justin. Thanks. Merry christmas to you. Thanks. We still have a lot more to come this hour. Including your voice. We want to hear from you. Facebook us, send us emails, do something at gerriwillis. Com. At bottom of the hour well read your comments. Next north korea is knocked offline. Is this retaliation or the sony hacking . Well have details after the break. You dont need to think about the energy that makes our lives possible. Because we do. Were exxonmobil and powering the world responsibly is our job. Because boiling an egg. Isnt as simple as just boiling an egg. Life takes energy. Energy lives here. Thanks. [ male announcer ] fedex® has solutions to able Global Commerce that can help your company grow steadily and quickly. Great job. mandarin cut it out. See you tomorrow. Tracy well the u. S. Is still considering what to do with north korea after the sony hacking. Seems president obama is trying to calm things down a little. Now calling attack, cyber vandalism, not sigher terrorism like many others are calling it. Call it what you like. The white house says it will respond. Maybe that response has already been done. North korea today suffered severe internet outages according to people that monitor this. We have gordon chang here, author of youre perfect person to respond. Senator cree internet is down. Who do you think it is . I think it is us. Clearly group goes after our country say it was me. They take pride in doing. That we heard no claims of responsibility. This was after president obama said we would do something proportional. This is what north korea did to us. We have gone after north korea i think. Tracy why wouldnt we in the United States say, huh, this is us, dont mess with us anymore . Because Everybody Knows that it is us. That is where deterrent effect comes from. North korea knows were willing to do something. It is up to them to decide if they will counterattack. They could do so, even though the internet is down and most of their Cyber Warriors are in china and some in germany and u. A. E. Most of them are in china. If north korea wants to make a decision to go after us they can do it. This will be very interesting to see what happens in the next 24 hours. Tracy how does china fit into this whole story with you . China was accomplice wit the attacks in north korea. The reason is we know chinese ip addresses were used to attack sony. The firewall, which is internet controls, china knows everything that crosses its boarder with regard to the internet there. Is large amount of data going out of china and see enormous amount coming in. Because sony lost more than 100 terabytes of data to the North Koreans. All that data went across the great firewall into china. Tracy gordon, i want to get to peter barns with mon on this. Kt mcfarland call it cyber war. President calling it cyber vandalism. What are you calling this. I think it is cyber war especially what weve seen today. I dont think it is important what we call it. Important thing we have Effective Response that prevents North Koreans doing this again. This went to the core of human democracy. Tracy right. They tried to affect discourse in the United States which is absolutely bedrock of our system. Tracy go to peter now. Has the white house responded to any of this . We got a comment out of the National Security council saying quote, we have no new information to share regarding north korea today, if in fact north koreas internet has gone down we refer to you that government for comment. Thats all that the National Security council would say. But, just to speak to what gordon was talking about there, listen, we have got very effective cybersecurity force on our side of the ocean here. This is totally within our capability to knock out north koreas internet and, and it is a very weak internet infrastructure to begin with. Not a heavy lift for to us knock that out and like gordon, i assume we did it. Tracy totally fair enough. But is it enough. Should there be economic sanctions as well . I think there should be. We should put the sanctions the Bush Administration did in 2005 when we cut the North Koreans off the Global Financial system. We should enforce about the sale of Ballistic Missiles and Nuclear Technology which we have been lax about and we should call out china because china was complicit in these attacks. If he were to do that that we will and North Koreans say that oh, my gosh, president obama is actually serious about this. Tracy peter, have you heard anything to that effect that the president will take further steps other than wiping out the internet . He said over the weekend he wants to add north korea back to the list of states that sponsor terrorism. That brings with it some additional sanctions. To gordons point, the main sanction we could impose would be on Financial Relationships that north korea has that were dropped during the Bush Administration, when the Bush Administration tried to negotiate a Nuclear Treaty with north korea. There is, gordon, correct me if im wrong, the bank of macau is like bank of north korea. We could go after that one bank and some, some Trading Companies that the north korean leadership controls as well. You guys are awesome, gordon, peter, thank you so much. Gordon, im glad youre here us today. Thank you. Tracy later in the show, 2014 brought us a rise of wearable tech and new iphones. What is in store for 2015 . Thinking of giving a taste of the holiday spirit this year . Hmmm, coming up, 12 bottles of christmas, that deserve a big spot under the tree. Well be right back. Shes still the one for you.

Tracy whether youre looking for last minute gift for the adult on your Shopping List or looking to get the holiday started we have festive spirit to toast the holidays. We have market watch reporter Charles Passy with really cool stuff. Before we get to the list, what is hot . Is it wine, brown liquors, scotch, whiskeys of the world, is it champagnes . You have to start with the brown spirits and particularly bourbon is superhot right now. Rye is right up there. Weve got a few examples here of some things that might be trending by Irish Whiskey is getting really popular right now. With wine, california is still hot. Tracy what is up with that fireball . That is whiskey, right . Yeah. That is flavored spirit. I think i would want to avoid that one. Tracy im with you. Theyre serving that at the fraternity house. Go through your list of the top things you should give or consider giving. Number one is the bubbly. You can never go wrong with a bottle of bubbly, what i like it carries through to the new year if you give it as a gift. What i love champagne producers do plenty of packaging. Pipeer has done it this package doubles as a candle holder. Tracy brilliant. Just a very classy way of presenting it, classic brut, great champagne. 40 bucks for the bottle. Really solid pick. Tracy we had it the other night. Great champagne. Look what you get. Tracy i didnt get that well. Red bottle. Red and green for the holidays. I have from lee polled brothers a distiller in colorado, very boutique, they make a tart cherry liquor. It is absolutely delicious. We were talking before whether or not you could have stand alone or cocktails. Works great in cocktails. I know a chef does it in pork loin recipe. It works as a standalone sip. Very, very tart. You will pucker up. Tracy finally we come to the whiskey. Right. Tracy Irish Whiskey, sales are off the charts, right, up 400 since 2000 two. This is my green bottle. As in ireland. I get it now. This is a new one on the market. I think well hear about it especially as we head into st. Patricks day. Wellpriced like all Irish Whiskey, it is incredibly drinkable. Very smooth. For people who may not like scotch, Irish Whiskey is beginners whiskey. Tracy how did that happen the resurgence of these brown liquors . The basically Cocktail Culture played a huge part. Speaking of cot take culture tracy which is coolest thing ever. This cocktail kit at the end, make your own bottle . Make your own liquor . Make your own party i would really say. Tracy fine, thats fair. This is from a company that is very hipster and very brooklyn. Theyre out of new york. What they basically do give you all the ingredients to make a great cocktail at home. This is to make a moscow mule. They have q, which is a great brand of mixers. They have their mixers in there. They have a few bar tools. For 85 bucks you can pretty much assemble and have a party at home. Tracy i see. Make your own cocktail. What happened to the martini . Used to be what everybody drank. Right. Martinis i think we had a little bit of resurgence with mad men, where it is frankly at is clever cocktails and quality ingredients. Tracy vodka too, not so much. All of this surpassed vodka sales. Vodka is the number one spirit, because it goes well with anything. I think for gifting, people like something a little more distinctive i would say. Tracy beauty of vodka, when you spill it, it doesnt change. I wouldnt guess that about cherry liquor. Tracy the full list is on marketwatch. Com . Absolutely. Tracy charles, thank you so much. Thank you. Tracy these are good ideas. Time for a look at stories youre clicking on tonight at foxbusiness. Com.

Tracy well, 2014 has been a breakthrough year for gadgets and technology, but not all lived up to the hype, unfortunately. Were going to break down the biggest hits and flops and take a look at next year. Mashables pete is here with us now. I guess number one for 2014, the smartwatch. Ive got one right here. This is the android platform but, of course, theres a bunch of other, the pebbles been around, and apple had its big unveiling in september, theyre going to come into the market early next year. This was definitely a huge year for the smartwatch, next years looking to be even bigger. Tracy do you really think its going to take off . Yeah, i think so. I think the functionality, so if an email comes in, i dont have to dig out my phone, i dont have to have it on a table somewhere, and its just right there on your wrist, just a quick glance, and youve got it. I think that has some merit. Tracy as opposed to my kids whose faces are in their phones all the time. Its got to look good. Thats the key thing. Tracy so, anonymous social networks you said were hot. I dont know what that is . You dont have to reveal your name. Theres secret, theres whisper, those are both very similar because theyre about putting out secrets, whistle blowing or just putting out stuff that you dont necessarily want to put your name on, and then theres ello, and thats kind of more about protecting persecuted groups, you know, if you want, if you dont want to put your real name to whatever youre doing. Its not like a lot of people say this is back to the early days of the internet where anonymous trolling was the norm. Tracy right. This is sort of a new movement, but its definitely a big thing. Tracy okay. Still sounds suspect to me. [laughter] virtual reality, definitely video streaming, apple pay and, of course, those big phones are back again. Yep. Tracy brings you back to gordon gekko on his big phone in wall street. Theyre not going to be thick, theyre just huge screens. The iphone 6 plus basically confirmed it, and samsungs new note, its a flagship phone. Its got a huge display, 5. 7 inches. Tracy doesnt fit in your jeans pocket. Theres no going back. Tracy all right. Now the lose ors. Google glass, what happened to that this. Yeah, thats too bad. There was the person kicked out of the Movie Theater, somebody was allegedly assaulted for wearing it. Theres been a lot of backlash partly because of how it works. Google is still committed to it, they made a deal to come out with new designs which well probably see next year, but, i mean, i think theyre going to have to completely rethink this design. Theyve got to make it look like a real pair of glasses. Tracy to your point, it has to look good. Yeah, anything wearable has to look good. Tracy windows phone, that came and went in a week, and amazons fire phone, i thought the commercials were really cute, and it was a cute little marketing thing, but that went nowhere. Yeah. Its weird about the fire phone because its actually an okay piece of technology, its just that amazon isnt the person were looking to for a phone, you know . Tracy right. It doesnt play to their strengths. Think about the things you do on a phone, theyre different from what you do on a tablet. For a phone, maps are key, messaging is constant, email, and those arent things we go to amazon for. Those are google apple things. Tracy so next year, you mentioned the smartwatch thing. I love the idea of smartphones, like controlling your heat and alarm and all that, but the drones. Theyre everywhere, arent they . Yep. And the faas due to come out with some clear rules and hopefully some laws by september next year to write, you know, what people can do with these commercially. Right now to the letter of the law, theyre still just a hobby, but everybody like amazon to the media, i mean, hello, drone footage . I mean, that would be tracy you get cameras over yeah. Exactly. Everybody wants to use drones. Weve got to figure out the rule, and that should happen next year. Tracy otherwise you feel like its the revenge of the birds movie. Yeah. Ones going to fall out and, boom, where are you, you know . Falls on your head. Tracy yes. Youre getting hit in the head with a drone. Thats going to happen, weve just got to figure out how to keep that to a minimum. [laughter] tracy thats a good goal for 2015. Thank you, pete. My pleasure. Tracy all right. Theres only a few days left until christmas, so what should you do if youre still shopping for the perfect gift . Good housekeeping magazine is here to help you with their 2014 best toy of the year award. Gerri headed down to the labs. After being put to the test, here they are.

Youre practiced at this, yes. Its really gerri legs. Ta da. Yes gerri all right. What do you have for me next . So were going to make slime. And what scientists and engineers really bring, im going to bring in ernie on the action. Gerri come on over, my friend. Youre making slime, which is gross, but youre also learning about polymers. Its educational, but its also fun. Gerri so what are we going to do with this yucky stuff . Put it in the slimeometer. I loved that. Okay. And then what do we do . Gerri i snapped it closed. Wow i feel like a mad scientist. This is cool. So, again, this is, this was a favorite of our engineers who are really just big kids. You can create circuits, 20 different types of circuits. So, basically, were tricking kids into being electrical engineers. Gerri i love it. So you build your own circuits and then make music. Gerri wow. How does it work . I took this apart. Does it go back together . You have to complete the circuit. Gerri uhoh, i hear something is about to happen. What are we doing . Your own synthesizer and really making deejay magic happen. Gerri toy of the year toy of the year is the meep. Its a robot with party tricks. Gerri so does it serve drinks .

Can the movies opening this christmas week try to turn things around . But first, heres your consumer gauge. Well be right back, dont go anywhere. You dont need to think about the energy that makes our lives possible. Because we do. Were exxonmobil and powering the world responsibly is our job. Because boiling an egg. Isnt as simple as just boiling an egg. Life takes energy. Energy lives here. [ shutter clicks ] hi there [ laughs ] im flo i know im going to get you your rental car. This is so ridiculous.

The Progressive Service center a real place, where we really manage your claim from start to finish. Really. Easy as easy can be bye tracy stocks rallied on wall street for a fourth straight day, tripledigit gains on the dow which is now just 40 points shy of that 18,000 milestone, so can the blue chips make it, and where should you be putting your money as 2014 comes to a close and, better yet, next year . David scranton, ceo of the Scranton Financial Group and founder of sound Income Strategies in, not from scranton, from connecticut. I learned that. Thats right. Tracy all right. Lets talk about this year. There were some big trends this year, i thought, right . Your defensive plays featured cyclicals. Yes. Tracy it was the return of the m a and dividend buyback which, as you said, inflated stocks. Of course. Tracy and the index beat the activelymanaged mutual fund. So what does that say about next year . Because all this stuff could pretty much flow into next year. I think defensive stocks won last year because there were a lot of big money people out there, institutional money that thought that when the rug was pulled out, in other words, qe3 ended, it would cause a drop in the market. So thats when defensive stocks typically do better. I believe, though, in many ways janet yellen was very fortunate, and in some ways she dodged a bullet. Europe was going deep in the recession, and that helped keep our markets artificially inflated. Tracy thats interesting, right . Many people say that were the prettiest girl at the prom or use whatever analogy you want to use. If europe was doing well, do you think this market would be in the toilet . I think wed probably already be pulling back, yes. And you can see the nervousness now with these big money investors, just what happened over the last week. Tracy yep. We were almost a thousand points down, and now were almost a thousand points back up again. So when people ask we, gee, where do i think were going to end the year . I say somewhere between 17 and 18,000, you really dont know. Tracy but will this little rally continue . Unfortunately, as the days go on, more and more people go on vacation, so the volumes going to be anemic, but do you think we will end up youre not going to say. In 2014 or 15 . Tracy in 2014. Will the santa claus rally continue . Chances are with thinner trading around the holidays, i think were going to be okay. Right where we are, high 17s, we might end up even over 18. But with the recent volatility, its anybodys guess at this point. Tracy right. Some of of the things that worked this year, Southwest Airlines was on your list. Even with oil that worked. India, really interesting. Do you think now, youre playing that as an etf . India, actually, is one thing. I dont know the Airline Stocks did very well last year, i dont know if they can keep it going for another year in light of all this. Tracy right. But some of the emerging markets, i think, can. And part of its because india, for example, doesnt have the debt burden that europe has or even that we have for that matter. Tracy not yet. Give em time. Lets talk about 2015 now. Everyone anticipating Interest Rates hopefully edging up, probably not until june at this point, quantitative easing going away. What happens then . Well, shortterm rates cannot go up significantly, and the reason is because longterm rates cannot go up significantly. Right now we have a 2. 16 tenyear treasury whereas we have tenyear italian and spanish bonds that are under 2 that arguably have a lot more risk than our own. And with europe being in a recession, perhaps deflationary environment, those rates are going to stay low, and its going to act as a Glass Ceiling to keep our tenyear fairly low for the next year. If the fed were to raise shortterm rates from 2. 5 to 1. 5, wed have a flat yield curve, and they wont do that because thats not good for the economy. Tracy bottom line, the economys barely even going to notice. Where do we go then, 2015, up or down . [laughter] well [laughter] im going to give you a very decisive answer. 2015 is going to be a doubledigit return. Doubledigit year. Whether its on the upside or the downside is what i dont want to get pinpointed toward. Tracy we could go either way, is what youre saying. It can. I think the volatilitys going to continue through 2015. But heres an analogy that i like to make, its kind of like when storm sandy came you remember just a couple years ago now, and i remember that the calendar said that the tide was supposed to be going out. It was an ebb tide, but yet the water was rising, and thats because the storm surge, the wind was keeping the water in, it was holding it in, forcing more water in even though the lunar cycle said were going to have an ebb tide. Its kind of like that now because qes not here and the market should be settling down, but we have a storm surge because of whats going on in europe and money coming into our market. So which is going tond out oi be to win out by the end of 2015 . It depends on which one keeps its strength longer. Tracy either way, were going to need a bigger boat. [laughter] you Better Believe it. Tracy david scranton, thank you for being with us. Thank you for having me. Tracy bmw expanding its recall of those deadly takata airbags nationwide, pushing 2014 even deeper into record territory for the most recalls in a single year. Fox business very own jeff flock joins us now from illinois. Youve been following this from day one, so what is the latest on this takata recall . Reporter long road, i until ya tell ya, its been an ugly road. An ugly night here in chicago, by the way. Yes, this takata thing could become bigger than the gm thing. But when you take a look at the numbers on this year, just incredible. Take a look. 60. 5 million, thats without the latest bmw action. That is twice what the previous record was which was set back in 2004. That record broken as of the summer even. And were not at the end of the year yet. Yes, most of it has been as a result of the gm ignition switch recalls, 11. 5 million because of switch problems and all the res. But heres something you may not know. Most of gms recalls this year, and its been almost 30 million, most of those have not been a result of the ignition switch problems. Its been just more simple things and mainly things that are not relateed to safety like related to safety like head lamp problems, airbag wiring, hood latch corrosion, stuff like that. Thats what most of the recalls have been. Now beyond gm, as we said, other reasons, takata. Thats the one thats front and center right now. But, you know, the cars are a lot more hightech these days. Thats another factor as well as well as a lot of automakers concerned about liability because gm just today announced yet another 104 claims filed last week in their compensation fund. So for so far the numbers are 260 death claims have been filed, 42 of those have been paid out not paid out, but have been approved for payout by gm. So theyre admitting, tracy, to 42 deaths as a result of the ignition switches. Whats this all meant for the bottom line . Not good for gm, their stock down about 18 . But Fiat Chrysler stock, not too many recalls and good performance for the stock last check, year to date up 31 . And, tracy, a lot of automakers have told us as a result of the recalls, people have been bringing their cars in, and theyve sold them new cars. Maybe its a silver lining, i dont know if you can call it that. Tracy thats a definite silver lining. Jeff flock, get out of that bad weather. Thank you so much. Wish you were here.

Tracy from the sony hacking to overall weak ticket sales, studios are launching one final push to get you into a Movie Theater before the years out. Whats worth seeing this christmas . With us now, micah jesse from los angeles. Micah, thanks for being with us. I was surprised that audience is down 4 yearoveryear, i thought it was going to be a lot more because of netflix and all that. People are still going to movies, huh . Yes, absolutely. In fact, this year is a big year for movies. Theres so many movies for the kids, into the woods, big eyes, the hobbit and everything for families, so many good movies to go see. Tracy so what do you like . What would you go see . Im like a kid. I love to go see those big, overthetop disney movies. Im definitely going to be seeing into the woods with meryl streep. Ive heard she is just epic, as we would expect, and emily blunt is singing for the very first time, and i found out she was pregnant while she was filming it, so i think thats amazing. Tracy so i have to ask because i have a kid at home, annies getting pinned, is it worth going to see . Cameron diaz is awesome, jamie foxx is awesome, and its just a great adaptation of so that so many of us loved as kids. And i think we should all definitely go out and support it. Tracy its a hard knock life hiphop style. I dont know, i want to see it. I think it looks so cool. Do you think were ever going to get to see the interview out of sony . I am hoping so. This was one movie that i was waiting for with baited breath. I know that a lot of people are probably thinking the same exact thing. If theyre not going to put it into theaters, then i say put it on the web, you know . Put it on youtube, give it to us in some way because they spent 43 million on this movie, so it would be a real shame to not put it out there. Tracy yeah. And at this point i think everyone is going to want to see it too. Lets talk about these franchise nil m. Films. Some of them do really well, you had dumb and dumber to which i think that says it all right there, horrible bosses 2, that probably says it all. What happened here . I think, you know what . Theres so much hype surrounding these movies, i think were waiting to walk into that Movie Theater and just be blown away. But, you know, its not so much about the storyline, theyre just giving us more, you know, special effects or now its in 3d, and its just, it hasnt really lived up to the expectations that a lot of us are really hoping for when we go to see these movies. Tracy right. And i know for next year a lot of people are going to want to see that furious seven with paul walker in it, unfortunately died during the filming of it, thats probably going to be something thats going to get a lot of hype. Yes, absolutely. And i think that we should all go and support that one as well. Tracy i totally agree. Micah, thank you so much for aching the time to be with us. Merry christmas. Merry christmas. Tracy well be right back. Dont go anywhere. They are a glowing example of what it means to be the best. And at this special time of year, they shine even brighter.
