The CK Daily – Holiday Traditions
Good morning!
Hope everyone is having a great week so far! We’re getting so close to Christmas and the end of the year. Who’s ready?
This year, my family and I drew names for each other which is always fun. I always think it’s so fun to be able to spoil one person. Does your family draw names?
The thing I’m looking forward to the most is our new tradition of playing Bunko and doing a white elephant gift with our entire family! It’s such a fun time! We used to do gingerbread competitions but decided to turn it into a massive family game night.
What family traditions are you looking forward to for the upcoming holiday?

When you research hardware for upgrades and replacements, you’ll see a lot of different tech specs listed in the descriptions.
Two common terms that come up are throughput and bandwidth. You’ll see bandwidth more in advertising spaces, and you’ll see throughput more when you look up real-world tests of the hardware. Why is throughput so important? Why don’t you see more about flash specs?

The film is James Cameron’s long-awaited return to the world he built in the highest-grossing film of all time, and it looks to set the groundwork for a potential franchise based around Jake (Sam Worthington), Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña), and their family’s exploits on the foreign planet.
