‘Tis the season for new smartphones, new phone plans—and unfortunately, a pasture full of bull. While the “deals” are rolling in hot and fast, there are important differences in which carrier you choose that can impact your monthly bill.

Okay player, this is your time to shine. The 2020 holidays may be your only chance to disappear behind a gaming screen in the middle of family festivities. In fact, there’s a good chance you’ll have some familiar company.

It’s been a long year of masks, distancing and working and learning from home. But there’s still hope for having happy holidays. Even if you can’t get the family together this year for gifts and caroling, you can still toast Christmas—and, ahem, ​THE END OF 2020—with your closest fam and friends.

Just when you thought it couldn’t get worse, experts are anticipating a new 2020 snafu this holiday season: Shipageddon. The country’s reliance on online shopping during COVID-19 will result in a cataclysmic gift-shipping emergency. This may be the year you need to try alternative gifts. 

Ah, the holidays. A time to slow down and reflect. To catch up with family over a table loaded with roast beast and who-hash. To relish bankrupting your uncle in Monopoly because one Christmas he gave your sisters 20 bucks each and nothing to you. (But let’s not get petty.)

Well, the 2020 edition is even better. Now we get to experience it all on the soft glow of a video screen instead of face to face. Yes, folks, the socially distanced holidays are here.
