Dads and dad jokes have been as much of an inseparable reality as Kardashians and athletes. Dads love trying to be funny. Emphasis on trying. I think it's time for an update. Starting on the Vine app in 2014, I posted my first dad video that went on to surpass 50 million views. I have been creating content online ever since with my dad character prominently featured. It has garnered hundreds of millions of views amongst several dozen different videos posted across social media. Taking the classic corny dad stereotype we all know and love, I "milliennialized" it through video. And now I'm doing it Christmas style through my first book. I hope you like it. If you don't, well then at least recycle it, Ebenezer. So as you turn the page to begin this Christmas edition dad book, may your reading be merry and bright. After all, 'tis the season to be swaggy.
