Holiday Frankenpost 2024!

So that you can't say I never gave ya nothin' (yeah, yeah, I can't stop you from sayin' it, but we'll all know you're lyin'), here's a post I've cobbled together from some old body parts I dug out of the basement past posts and whatnot. Merry Whatever, ya filthy animals.

If you're wanting Xmas goofery to read, you can't go goofier than Christopher Moore's The Stupidest Angel: A Heartwarming Tale of Christmas Terror. (I mean, if you can, I'd love to know how.) Yes, it's kinda the third book in an unofficial trilogy, but you needn't read the first two books to enjoy this one, technically. (Though if you're a compulsive completist like me, you can check out the first one here, and the second here.) (Nearly forgot, there are a couple of characters in The Stupidest Angel that don't appear in either Pine Cove book linked above, but are featured here.)

Don't feel like reading and you hate It's a Wonderful Life as much as I do? Here are trailers to nine alternatives set on or around the holidays (of which the first five are currently streaming for free here, here, here, here, and moreover, here). (As a little bonus, here are three TV show episodes with New Year's Eve themes, also streaming free!)

Still got a metric-shit-ton of presents to wrap? Here's some alternative holiday tuneage to groove to while you do (well, alternative holiday tunes as well as alternatives to all the crap every retail establishment's shoving in your ear-holes right about now). (No, you will not find The Waitresses' Christmas Wrapping here.) (Because it's my flipping playlist, that's why.)

Need a reminder of what Christmas is all about? Linus can tell you...

Finally, if you overindulge with The Booze at any point, this post may be able to help you feel more better-er.

Feliz Natal, y'all.
