Special purpose acquisition companies, perhaps better known as SPACs, were first introduced in the 1990s as a faster, cheaper and more structured way for small and medium-sized companies to be traded on the public markets.

These are events to be cherished! However, there is one holiday tradition that can be polarizing, to say the least: Secret Santas.

Home baking has enjoyed a resurgence as a pastime in recent years. It's relaxing, creative, relatively inexpensive, and there's nothing quite like the comfort of a house filled with the aroma of something yummy in the oven. Got a friend or two who have dreams of whipping up elaborate birthday cakes, fresh loaves of bread, Saturday morning cinnamon rolls, and other goodies? I sure do!
