Getting in the Christmas Spirit

Merry Christmas, dear readers. For some examples of falling short of the Christmas Spirit, I present the following:

Black-robed Monks Exchange Blows, Five Injured In Northern Greece (granted, the monks on Mt. Athos are not celebrating Christmas until January 7th, though)

This is kind of a bummer to hear about: The World's Supply of Frankincense is Dwindling because of overharvesting of the frankincense tree sap and tree-clearing for farmland.


While the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays always bring to mind one of my favorite holiday movies, Home for the Holidays, John Scalzi's (satirical) post on The 10 Least Successful Holiday Specials of All Time always makes for hilarious annual reading.
