TF2 Christmas
Something about Team Fortress 2 causes artistic bouts of insanity. This has lead to hilarious griefing, program modifications, hilarious comics, absolutely stunning artwork, and more drawn gay pornography that anyone could ever need in a lifetime.
Now, we have Christmas songs with accompanying video.
This madness will never stop until Valve, Garry's Mod, Source Filmaker, and every man between the ages of 14 and 30 are destroyed.

Crazy Shit I Have Witnessed - Christmas Bread
Impulse buy from the bakery last year! Braided Christmas bread!
It looks a lot more interesting than it tastes. It was tasty bread but it was all the same flavor with food coloring.
For Christmas Eve, please enjoy a Cold War era carol:

New Week; New Wallpaper - 12-7-09
I wanted to make a Christmas balls joke but it is too obvious. I will just let you make up your own and please keep it to yourself, you filthy dirty person.

Christmas in The Netherlands: 6-8 black men
It is tough to be in school in December before winter break. As a kid, you're full of hope and excitement at every day. You're not tired of the snow yet and you want to play outside and you keep counting down the days, hours, and minutes until Christmas. As a teacher, you can't wait to get rid of these squirrely kids. Teachers are faced with the dilemma of running out of things to teach before the semester is over, but if you teach something new, the children will just forget about it over Christmas break.
In elementary school (and sometimes high school), teachers resorted to Christmas trivia. I am not sure if you can still teach about Christmas in schools without having a fight break out between atheist vs. overly religious parents, but that's not the point. Usually Christmas trivia included the history of our holiday traditions and what people of other cultures did. The teachers pretty much did stick to Christmas traditions because I didn't know what Hanukkah was about until I was old enough to use Google.
In high school, we were assigned a little week long project to keep us busy while our teacher wasted money and time on eBay holiday shopping. I was assigned the Netherlands. That is how I came across the rather odd sounding story of Zwarte Piet (Black Pete), who is the black faced helper of Sinterklass.
While I did get an A- on my four minute presentation, I would rather let a much better writer describe how the Dutch celebrate Christmas. The following video is a shortened version of what David Sedaris's wrote on the subject.

Time to decorate
It's post-Thanksgiving and now it's officially December. Time to decorate for Christmas. If you need help, you might need to see this guy:

Now it is appropriate for Christmas decorations. I know some radio stations have been playing holiday music since the day after Halloween. Some people never even take down their Christmas decorations; they just don't plug in their fairy lights between January and October.
I like to wait until the start of December or at least until after American Thanksgiving.

Black Friday
Early post for you guys who are leaving the house super early for the mall today.
The day after Thanksgiving and it's the officially holiday season, even though Target had a Christmas section set up in mid-September. Black Friday comes to the general public and I am barricading myself in the house.
My readers aren't the kind of people who would trample an old lady for a cheap DVD player. But I want to issue a reminder for everyone: don't murder people. Manslaughter is not advisable either. I know you really want to get your gifts right now but seriously, chill out. It's Christmas time.
