The best ways to give back this holiday season 🎅🎄
Hello Monday. It's James.
Has everyone recovered from the college football playoff disappointment?
As I told my heartbroken/angry son (boy, he does not like Alabama, a feeling I tend to share), it was a flawed but fun season. Anytime you beat Michigan and win the Big 10 that's a successful year, and USC and the Cotton Bowl will be an enjoyable consolation prize.
Onward to the week ahead. It's the holiday season, which means thoughts turn towards doing some good in the world, and Chelsea is here with some of the best volunteering options for the holiday season.

Navigator Originals ✏️How To Keep Your Holiday Packages From Getting SnatchedAs an Amazon addict, Chelsea wrote something here I really needed to read, although I have actually had good luck over the years when it comes to stolen packages. The stories I hear though ... stolen front porch packages are a Columbus epidemic.
Around Town 🏘My favorite part of Ohio State beating Wisconsin actually took place after the game when an Ohio State fan yelled “F**k you, Tennessee!” at Greg Schiano heading into the tunnel. Schiano, of course, was recently offered the head coaching position at Tennessee before having the offer rescinded (and their coaching search since has descended into farce.) Schanio's facial reaction is great. [Twitter]A Clintonville man has spent $24,000 recreating Serpent Mound in his yard. As one does when you reach a certain age.Yes, there are pictures.
