I just discovered @kcreospeedwagon released a Christmas CD 10 years ago. It’s really good! All the songs - originals and rockin’ takes on classics - make me smile. If you grew up on 70s/80s rock, you’ll love this. – at Wisconsin, USA

Heard a @UPS driver swear up a storm trying to get packages out of his truck. It moved me. A reminder that the holiday gifts bought online are delivered by real men & women whose backs burn & arms ache to help you put smiles on loved ones’ faces. Next delivery - thank the driver – at Wisconsin, USA
