What kind of guy beats up his own dad on Christmas Eve just because the beer ran out? Oh. It’s Ireland? That makes sense. I forgot about the alcoholism nature of their kind. He told the Boxing Day session of the court that Darren Johnston became increasingly agitated during an argument between the pair. “He …

Who’s Got A Bag Filled With All Our Stuff? Santa’s Got A Bag Filled With All Our Stuff!
So that’s where all the nifty stuff we get for Christmas comes from. A man is facing several charges after breaking into a home and making off with jewellery, cash, tools, alcohol, electronics, guns and ammunition. That man? Charles Santa. I hope the police aren’t too hard on him. He may have done it for …
2014: Goodbye And Good Riddance
It’s mid January, and I feel like I have to write the usual holiday wrap-up/year in review post. I feel like this will be the shortest one ever because both the holidays, and the year, feel like they have been snatched and tainted. Getting to my family’s Christmas was coloured with a bit of Carin-style …
An Actual Silent Night Would Have Been An Upgrade
I know it’s not Christmas anymore, but I just had to post this because it’s so amazingly bad. So bad, in fact, that had I not been warned ahead of time that it was supposed to be Silent Night I may not have recognized it. Seriously, what the hell is this woman doing? Warning: Audio …

What else starts with G L O?
Man I love Twitter. I just stumbled across this. https://soundcloud.com/npraskmeanother/day-1-blaze-of-gloria Jonathan Coulton is a funny, talented guy. Kinda a fun game to play. I wonder if I could come up with more. I doubt it.
The Littlest Angel
While I was visiting with my family, we got talking about something that always happened to us each year when we’d make the 6-hour drive from our house to grandma’s. It didn’t matter how hard we tried, we would always leave later than we planned. We would put on the radio, and tune in a …

History Of The NORAD Santa Tracker
I always heard about the NORAD Santa tracker, it was a thing since I was a kid. But since it was always there, I never looked into its history. Now I’ve learned that its history is kind of cute. I guess a newspaper mistakenly printed a top secret military hotline as a talk to Santa …
Merry Christmas And All That Stuff
Since I’m’ posting this today, this song makes a good soundtrack. Yeah, it’s December 23 and I don’t know where the time has gone. Somehow, despite my battles with the captain, I still managed to get my Christmas shopping done, although it was a little closer to the wire than I would have liked…and the …
