Published: Dec. 20, 2021, 10 a.m.

It\u2019s a special holiday episode of Commute!!

You can almost taste it, can\u2019t you? The holiday dinner table set with mashed potatoes, gravy, dinner rolls, green beans and \u2026 KFC?

You know how the Grinch tried to stop Christmas from coming to Whoville but, today, Grinch bots don\u2019t want to stop Christmas. They just want you to pay more for it.

Christmas songs are unique. For two months they follow us from car to shopping mall to doctor's office. How does a Christmas song become a classic that joins that yearly rotation? And Mariah Carey has made HOW much off that one song?!
