The students are still on Christmas break so Melissa and Will take this episode to talk about their New Year's Eve and New Years Day traditions and memories.

We'll be back next Monday with regular programming.

The students are out of school this week. We'll return to regular episodes when class resumes in January.

This week Melissa and Will talk about their Christmas traditions and memories from when they were kids and new traditions with their families and kids now.

Merry Christmas!
