It is the most wonderful time of the year! Not only is it a time to get together with friends and family and enjoy each other's company, but it's also the time of year when Bill D'Alessandro and I look back on our predictions from a year ago, see where we were massively off, and make even more predictions for the coming year. So get comfortable, grab your holiday favorite drink, and get ready to see how egregious our predictions were from last year, and speculate with us on what 2023 will bring.
