I looked for eggnog at Trader Joe's two days ago and they were out. Coincidentally, the guy in front of me in the checkout line asked why they didn't have any. The checkout guy answered that more would be in in a couple days, adding, "I don't know what you folks see in that stuff, but we can't keep it on the shelves."

Personally I've now switched from milk to eggnog, to add to my morning coffee. I won't switch back until the last of the season's eggnog is gone.
Went to trader joes last night at the begging of the daughter for latkes (talk about what you folks see) and all they had was the light egg nog. Im just behind the times and cutting a little when you can is probably the right thing to do but egg nog is all bad and you just have to accept it. So I declined but am still in search of the best out the bottle. Had some good stuff in a glass jar but probably more branding/psychological than taste. The Southern Comfort/Jack Daniels branded one tasted good too. Again, maybe just because I like liquor.

How one man's quest to spread Christmas cheer led to a miserable four-year war with his neighborhood

Could be a Coen Brother's movie.

Religious people are funny:
And then Morris's lawyer asks Wilson about the little candy canes he passed out to the kids. The canes had a message attached, an apocryphal story about how the red in the candy cane stood for Jesus's blood, the white for his purity, and the "J" shape for Jesus's name.

(Although it's an interesting article, it is very oddly written in the present tense.)

HA! Great book.

I would wager no, since he never married, and was without sin, so that extramarital stuff would probably be a no go.

It's all a matter of faith of course, but the gnostic gospels posit that Mary Magdalene was his most favored companion. So...

It still confounds me that plain Starbucks cups was a serious anti- Christmas issue.

Its less confounding and more upsetting if you look at the present-day as the culmination of a decades long process aimed at invalidating political outrage.

We have to figure out a way to make that happen. I need Swizzle and Twizzle (the names the girls gave the elves) in our lives year-round. It makes getting them ready for school in the mornings a breeze.

Heh, I used the same exact excuse today. Somehow my kids are still holding on to believing the elf is real.

Wait...are you telling your kids the elf did too many bong rips last night and crashed where he was the day before?

Target went with Mary J Blige as the soundtrack of their commercials last year and sounds like Crystal Waters this year.
