Happy holidays to you and yours!

(Don’t let the opening graphic on the video below worry you — this is a video of a Saturday Night Live skit about elves . . .nice, friendly elves)

For a less caustic take on the season, head on over to Neddie Jingo’s place, where he and Blue Girl have collaborated on an absolutely beautiful rendition of “Christmas Time is Here.”

If you happen to receive Thomas Pynchon’s Against the Day as a gift, you must visit The Chumps of Choice, where you can throw in your lot with Neddie and crew as they dance and cheer and hoot their way through the text.

I’d like to second Tom Watson in asking you to give something, if you can, to Shakespeare’s Sister. Shakes is not only one of the most vibrant voices on the left; she is also a dear friend who can use some holiday cheer.

I wish you a happy and a healthy holiday. Now, please wish me luck on the job interviews I have coming up next week!
