MY RATING: An excellent 8
MY GRADE: B-
The Sweepstakes finale was a festive thrill. While the Wheel spun, the joy did spill.
Secret Santa’s grand end, a dazzling show, and it’s St. @nickskapower‘s time to go.
Until next year, his tales to share, he says bye for now, in yuletide’s air.
But before he had vanished, he yelled w/ delight…
“MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL…
…AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!!!”
See you in 2024 A.D.!
