44% of Us Will Go to Bed Before Midnight on New Year's Eve

Are you staying up to watch the ball drop this year? Or will you finish that episode of "Matlock" and be in bed by 10?

Going to bed before midnight on New Year's is more common than you'd think . . . or more common than YOUNG people might think.

44% of Americans say they'll be asleep when the calendar flips to 2026.

New Year's Eve is on a Wednesday this time, so some of us have to work the next day. Others just don't care enough to stay up for it.

It's easier for people out west too. On the West Coast, you can watch the ball drop in New York and be in bed by 9:01.

(AP)

About a third of the public celebrates the season by wearing festive holiday attire, leaving up decorations past January 1st, and giving gifts to their pets. Just over half will stay up past midnight to ring in 2026.

BLAKE SHELTON: Dirtiest Santa

Blake Shelton is a pretty laid-back guy who doesn't seem to complain about much. He did, however, get a dirty Dirty Santa gift that kept giving and giving. At least it did for a little while.

Blake said, “I think the worst Christmas gift that I have ever been given it was a gag on one of those dirty Santa things and it was a Santa Claus and you turned it on it would dance and it would sing ‘The Macarena’ over and over. Every time you’d walk by it, it would sing ‘The Macarena.’ I think I finally ended up just throwing it in the trash.”

Carrie Underwood Surprised Her Church by Showing Up and Singing Christmas Songs

Over the weekend, Carrie Underwood quietly walked into Rolling Hills Community Church in Nashville and surprised the congregation.

During the church's annual Sounds of Christmas concert, Carrie took the stage to sing "O Holy Night" and "All Is Well".

This is not the first time she has done this. Carrie likes to drop in randomly on her church and sing for them.

Her Christmas album "My Gift" came out in 2020 and features original songs . . . a duet with John Legend on "Hallelujah" . . . and a sweet appearance from her son Isaiah on "The Little Drummer Boy".

And of course, she sounded incredible. Imagine going to church and getting a private Carrie Underwood Christmas concert. Must be nice!

Stupid Criminal: Someone Put Out "Free W**d" . . . Near a School?

We're a week away from Christmas and people need to CHILL OUT. But not like this.

Police in Auburn, California say they saw a box set outside, with a sign saying "Merry Christmas! FREE W**D! Organic and cage free." There were dozens of jars in the box . . . apparently filled with ma*****na.

The police posted a photo, and said, "The holidays can be stressful. We get it. But leaving a box of 'free' ma*****na on the sidewalk is not how you spread cheer to the neighborhood. Surprises are for stockings, not sidewalks.

"Especially, sidewalks near a high school. These 29 mason jars of 'cage free' w**d were disposed of responsibly." It's unclear how they "disposed" of the pot, or how many jars there may have been to begin with.

Ma*****na is legal in California, although THIS kind of thing isn't. It's unclear if they're investigating who may have left the w**d out . . . or if they're busy with more important stuff.

For what it's worth, it's unclear how far away it was from the school, but it was sitting right next to a sign advertising "Beautiful, fresh Christmas trees for sale, at Placer High School." That sale raised money for the music boosters.

It may be the season of giving — but even Santa might draw the line at this. Police in California said they found a Christmas display near a high school giving away jars of ma*****na.

A Man Set a Record . . . Singing Christmas Songs for 42 Hours Straight

If you thought it was rough CAROLING throughout your entire subdivision . . . just imagine doing it across your entire STATE.

A 63-year-old man in the U.K. named David Purchase broke a world record by signing Christmas songs for 42 HOURS . . . straight . . . without losing his voice. He did it at a brewery, and people popped in throughout to cheer him along.

He started at midnight on Wednesday of last week and finished last Friday . . . after singing 684 songs. And no, he didn't know that many different ones.

David chose 38 songs, which he repeated 18 times each. Stuff like "Last Christmas", "Jingle Bells", and "Step Into Christmas".

He could only have a five-minute break every hour, and between each song he could take a break of just 20 seconds.

The previous record was a woman from Nigeria named Ewaoluwa Olatunji, who sang Christmas songs for 31 hours straight two years ago. So David eclipsed that AND tacked on another 11 hours.

"I told myself I could do this because I know I can sign for hours."

Raccoon Falls Through Ceiling at Fine Dining Restaurant, Bites Guest

As people were dining in one of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin's resort restaurants, a raccoon fell out from the ceiling and bit one of the guests who tried to grab the little rascal.

The raccoon was euthanized and tested for rabies. The Ristorante Brissago guest was taken to the hospital.

Deputies say a raccoon fell into a Grand Geneva restaurant, bit a guest, and was euthanized and sent for rabies testing after wildlife control removed it.

DARIUS RUCKER: Double Feature

Picking a favorite Christmas song, cookie or movie is just about impossible with so many great choices out there, so Darius Rucker is proposing a double feature on holiday movie night.

Darius said, “That would be a tie between Miracle on 34th Street, which is still just great acting, great movie. I just love it. I love watching it. I watch it probably four times every Christmas and cry at the end every time. And I love Elf. I just think Elf is one of the absolute great stories and funniest movies I’ve ever seen and it just happens to be a Christmas movie."

Sure, today's animation is remarkable, but we still have a heart for Claymation.
The first Christmas movie was a one-minute silent film called Santa Claus. It came out in 1898.

Today's the Last Day to Ship Gifts Without Paying a Lot More

If you've been meaning to mail that Christmas gift, get on it. After TODAY, it starts to get pricey.

If you're using the Postal Service to ship a box, today's the last day to send it with normal Priority Mail to make sure it gets there by Christmas. It MIGHT still get there if you wait until tomorrow, but no promises.

Here are the cutoff dates for the Post Office, UPS, and FedEx:

1. The Post Office: The cutoff for normal Priority Mail is today. Or the 20th for Priority Express, but it costs more. Their site lists those same dates even for Hawaii and Alaska.

2. UPS: It might be too late for normal ground shipping. The cutoff for 3-Day is the 19th . . . for 2nd Day Air, the 22nd . . . and Next Day Air, the 23rd.

3. FedEx: Again, probably too late for their cheapest option. The 4-day cutoff is today, and 3-day is tomorrow. After that, it's time to ask yourself . . . do they REALLY need to get it by Christmas?

Shoppers wanting to get their packages delivered by Christmas Day should note the timelines recommended by FedEx, UPS and the Postal Service.
