It’s the most wonderful time of the year…countdowns!

Ah, there’s nothing like that warm, fuzzy feeling you get at this time of year. No, it’s not the joyful, amorous feelings you inevitably get during the Christmas season, nor is it the fun-filled, dreidel-spinning eight days of Hanukah. I’m talkin’ the superfluous countdowns of the year’s most ridiculous news stories, celebrity tweets, crimes committed, and must-have gadgets.

So grab some egg nog, have a seat by the fireplace, and enjoy to your heart’s content! (Props to time.com for knowing what readers want)
