Spoof: The True Detective Christmas Tradition Continues (Video)
We may be using the word “tradition” loosely, but take it more as wishful thinking. The holiday seasons are almost upon us. Depending on your point of view, they were almost upon us as soon as Thanksgiving ended.

If not, New Years is almost upon us. Perhaps there’s something True Detective in that. Nothing is too farfetched anymore.
