Who is the winner, you ask?

That’s a good question.  Really it is.  Especially because the Holiday Hop is now over, as is Christmas, and I’ve promised to send one lucky snowman-licker a prize.  And by the way, you are all extraordinarily nasty individuals, with all your Frosty fetishes.  I’d say about 90% of you, if given the chance, would douse
