Have yourself a turtle little Christmas

Even though I am contractually obligated to plug the new Fattened Calf Christmas Card (see image of front), I have to say I like it.

Visit http://www.fattenedcalf.com/gear.html to purchase or view the new card. Due to timing issues it is only available online this year.

Are we not in silly land when we start calling Christmas Trees - "Family Trees" (Lowe's recent holiday catalog which they say was a proofing error - Ooops.)

When Prince changed his name, we at least got to use the "artist formally known as". Can we at least go with "Trees formerly known as Holiday trees, formally known as Christmas trees"?

This world keeps getting odder.

To be honest as I watch you human folk scuttle about on these holidays buying presents, so horribly busy and upset, I have to wonder if Christmas itself should be know as the holiday formally about the birth of Jesus...
