Merry ChristmaHannaKwanzaakuh to All on this Happy Festivus Season. In this episode, we share a few select Christmas memories from our childhoods, as well as discuss our favorite Holiday tunes, tv specials and movies. Reminisce with us over your preferred holiday beverage and hopefully we'll have you too saying, "Fra-gee-lay . . . hmmm, must be Italian!"

We begin, as always, with Good, Bad and Ugly.

Kevin's good: Rifftrax.com
Bad: Christmas Creep The retail practice of putting Christmas out in October . . . or earlier!
Ugly: Worker killed on Black Friday last year at Wal-mart.

Zen's Good: Nobody was killed this year on Black Friday. This article best describes our feelings on the savages who walked on a man last year.
Bad: Picking on Santa just because he's fat. The writer of this story, even if it is tongue in cheek, needs to pick on someone else. Oprah, maybe. Not St. Nick.
Ugly: Walmart charging extra to ship to APO addresses.
Update!Since our recording, Walmart has changed their APO rates, but declined to comment. Hand caught in the cookie jar. Shame on you, Wal-Mart.
