I believe in recycling (its a pretty good picture from last year). Merry Christmas to all! Peace on Earth!
Needs More Tinsel, Evangelicals Whine About Christmas
I am sick of people who obsessively study the Bible and quote it-- yet they haven't learned a damn thing from it. Case in point, the evangelical whiners at Focus on The Family are waging their annual jihad about the "War on Christmas" and the encroachment of secularism with retailers.

Seasons Greetings without much Sarcasm

Wax Nostalgic For Christmas
The world famous house of wax, Madame Tussaud's has an odd way of getting into the Christmas spirit. Four years ago the London location treated us to a pop culture Nativity scene with David Beckham and wife Victoria in the lead roles, as Joseph and Mary.
