I'm heading home to Florida today for Christmas and then on to Iowa for the big presidential campaign showdown on Jan. 3. Trail Mix will not be taking a holiday break this year, so keep on visiting our little corner of the internets.

Before I got away, CQ Politics Executive Editor Peggy Girshman and Video Producer Andrew Satter stopped by the house for a "fireside" chat about the Iowa campaign.
