There’s nothing worse than bed bugs during the holidays. But we still have to celebrate life, family, and love. Toss in a litte gallows humor (so beloved of Bedbuggers) and you have Bed Bug Holiday Songs:
NotSoSnug has started us off, messaging me with his Christmas carol to the tune of “Chestnuts Roasting on […]
