We celebrate a lot over the holidays.

Between the middle of November and the end of the year, most of us attend about a dozen family and work celebrations.  For example, here at the station, we are kicking off the holiday season by holding our work Thanksgiving gathering on Monday!  Yes, we are getting an early start

Of course, with all of the family and work get togethers sometimes it is hard to find time to celebrate with your friends.

Well, the people from Bar Crawl USA have the solution!
