Alright, we've got 23 lists and it's mid-January. I'm gonna ask now: does anyone else intend to submit lists to this jawn? If so, I'll wait. But it seems like most everyone who normally submits a list has done so at this point.
 
No pressure. Think it was nearly a week later last year that I did the final tally so we're ahead of schedule at this point in my book.
