Here we go again! The jolliest of holidays, the most festive of festivities, is back to haunt us. Yep, it's Christmas. Which means it's time to do all that stuff we love to do around the holidays. Putting up trees and decorations. Wrapping presents. Oh, and my personal favourite... enduring the same shitty Christmas music over and over. Although I am loving all the Mariah Carey memes, this year. But on a more serious note; there are radio stations dedicated to Christmas music, and some of them have been live since September! Who the hell is listening to Christmas music in September?! However, it's not all bad. There's usually copious amounts of delicious food to consume, and some excellent movies to be watched. Often times, you can combine the two. How many Christmases have been saved by a good movie and/or some tasty food? I don't know if it has saved Christmas 2025, but before writing this I watched Planes, Trains & Automobiles . Not exactly a Christmas film, ...

While reading up on all things  Grinch , I stumbled across  'Tis The Grinch Holiday Podcast  (A.K.A.  'Tis The Grinch Holiday Talk Show ). Apparently, after trying to steal Christmas old Grinchy was given community service by the Whoville Department of Justice, which included hosting a holiday podcast to spread a little Christmas cheer.

They've even got a pretty good take on the song, although still second to the original. James Austin Johnson, of  SNL  fame, does a brilliant job as both the voice of the ...

Once again it's that time of year when trees begin appearing in houses, children think about toys more than usual, and people start leaving shoes, guns and bullets in air vents. That's right it's December. A month in which many go absolutely nuts in order to celebrate a single chaotic day.  As this silliest of seasons fires up Kevin McCallister will find himself all alone, the British Prime Minister will dance around Number 10 before taking a chance on love (not from the Americans), and Hans Gruber's retirement plans will suffer a fly in the ointment. But there is one among us who despises the festivities and shuns the holiday spirit more than most. No I'm not talking about myself. I couldn't pull off that shade of green. We're talking about a dark soul with a shrunken, hate-filled heart, and an evil smile to match. It's still not me. Born from the mind of the legendary Dr. Seuss, this most sinister of creatures was the subject of a beloved children'...
