I'm on a bit of a Christmas break -- one that will also be from blogging.  Not entirely, but I won't be posting very regularly from now until early next week.

So whether you're obsessively addicted to this blog (a small, elite few, I must say), a casual visitor or whether you tripped over it by accident while Googling various pejoratives, please have either a Merry Christmas, a holly, jolly Christmas, a white Christmas, a rainbow Christmas, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, Festivus, happy holidays or simply enjoy some outstanding bargain-hunting and U.S. college football bowl games on Boxing Day.

Whatever. I don't judge at this blog.

Well, actually, I do, but I want to make a show of not doing so at this oh-so-special time of year.
