Happy holidays, indeed! Oh, and I can get this in a Magnum? Will that fit in my stocking?!

 

With the holiday season now fully pressed upon us, and I switch to on-line shopping to avoid malls more than ever, its time to return to all of our time honored traditions.

I like to read the "Letters to the Editor" section of the Daily News everyday, mostly because the people who write in are complete morons, but also... well actually that's really the only reason I read it - to feel better about myself and my intelligence. Anyway, there's been a deluge of really stupid letters recently complaining about how there's plenty of Halloween and Christmas songs, but no Thanksgiving tunes for the season. Mind you, these are the same people who also routinely complain about Bristol Palin's staying power on Dancing With the Stars.
