Christmas Re-posts

Well, it's that time of year again. So in the spirit of getting ready for Christmas before Thanksgiving has even gotten here (much like the rest of the culture... what can I say? I'm a product of my surroundings...), I'm going to once again post my annual Christmas blog posts that I wrote like three years ago, but feel the need to re-post every year. Also, maybe I will consider writing a new one in the coming weeks just to be a little edgy. Enjoy, and as always, comments are welcome.
