My Elf on the Shelf says he's tired of the shelf and wants to try the kitchen counter for a while.

You know what they call it when an Elf on the Shelf takes a picture of himself? A Shelfie.

You know, maybe I'm over-thinking this, but it's not really Christmas until December 25th.

Vice President Biden met Monday with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk, hoping the entire time he wouldn't have to correctly pronounce their names.

Michigan's state Senate just repealed 80 outdated laws including one that banned people from trespassing on a huckleberry marsh. Tomorrow, we hit the marsh. My plan is working perfectly...

In Florida, a naked man was arrested for going 110 mph while drunk. What was most impressive -- he wasn't even in a car!

I'd love to buy skinny jeans. Unfortunately, I don't have skinny genes.

Some Star Wars fans have already started forming lines in front of movie theaters, 12 days before the new opens.  What is it about 12 days and this time of year?

I'm still waiting for Donald Trump to say, "Did I say Muslims?  I meant Kardashians!"
