Here’s a space age Santa. Christmas tree retailers saw a drop in sales this season. David DeYoung from How Was the Show sings O Tannenbaum. Family’s holiday tradition preserved in song. Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. Hot buttered Christmas Zombie. Coal in Your Stocking. Jingle Bell Rock sung using only the words “jingle” “bell” and “rock.” Merry Christmas!

Enh, at least some good came out of it. Eventually.
If Hardy can find his form from two years ago it will be a fantastic trade. Go-go was at best a defensive center fielder. If he could have learne...
I agree. The Yankees are boringly predictable.
This is why the Twins are the Twins and the Yankees are the Yankees. Let's see, should we go for Hardy or Teixera? Hmmm.
I tink peraps it is te curc of Crist, Marybet414.
If I can c(h)ime in...I left the 'H' behind years ago and indeed there is no better way. The church of Crist... Bless you all.
I like the guy, but I have to admit he was a bit disappointing.
Just about every time we went to a game at the dome, you'd hear "fans" (quote marks emphasized) trashing GoGo loudly, which made me want to stand ...
Only love is real? Carole King, 1971.
What's with the "h"? Just think, "not Christ." And "not hazing." Only love is real. ;-)

From Chuck’s MNstories, Silent Night, sung in Lakota!
Merry Christmas to maz, where ever you are!

Is this an open thread? Because if it is, I want to mention
I WON THE MNSPEAK FANTASY FOOTBALL LEAGUE!!!!
And I did it without watching a single football game this year.
9:21 am
Congrats, Kassie.
Now, how about some fantasy football tailgating recipies to share for the holidays?
9:27 am
I’m making Rice Pudding with Almonds and Cherry Sauce for dessert tonight.
And Bourbon Pate for an appetizer tonight.
On Saturday I’m making a couple racks of lamb with mint sauce, buttered polenta and balsamic glazed carrots for my family. You may have to wait until I get back in town for those recipes though. We’re heading to the cabin for a very merry Christmas.
9:42 am
@kc!: Me want balsamic-glazed carrots.
I’ll be handing out to the family tomorrow my baking endeavors: ginger spice cookies, and cranberry-orange bread with a Grand Marnier icing. Didn’t get around to making my curried cranberry-walnut cheese balls.
9:48 am
I was in two Fantasy leagues this year, and got second in both of them.
I made Raspberry Ice Cream and Strawberry tonight…
9:58 am
I am severely baking impaired and managed to successfully make (with the help of my boyfriend) really delicious iced sugar cookies. We can now bake exactly two things with good results: sugar cookies and margarita cupcakes.
10:10 am
The key to good sugar cookies (and all butter cookies) is handling the butter. Got to keep that butter cold throughout the process otherwise your cookies wont rise. Chilling the dough before making the cookies helps a ton also.
I make a mean Ginger Snap cookie.

Mrs. Lungs and I made our infamious bourbon balls (this isn’t our recipe, but it is close) last weekend. The ones I brought to the office are already gone. Simple and fun to make — no oven needed.
Refigerate overnight, and they are ready to eat. Hint: they taste better at room temp. — unlike baked cookies, the booze won’t evaperate from these babies!
10:43 am
The other thing that will make your cookies look awesome and cook more evenly is to use a disher to size the dough. I use a #40 if I’m making for a party or a #70 if I’m making for work.
10:44 am
bob, I made similar ones last year and ones using oreos. I love them, but didn’t make cookies or any treats this year.
noodleman, I love cheese balls. I loved them when they were’t popular and I love them now when they are.
10:47 am
Oreos! Nom nom nom.
11:05 am
Bob, someone brought bourbon balls to our holiday party last weekend and they were awesome.
Dougie_D, I made mine with vegan margarine. I was worried that they wouldn’t rise, but they did. Nobody could even tell they were vegan. That’s when you know a vegan baking recipe is a success.
11:16 am
I sort of think Vegans needed to be hugged more as children. I understand the philosophy but like anything taken to the extreme it starts to looks a little crazy.
I don’t eat mammals or marsupials but I do eggs and dairy. If you don’t like cheese you can’t be my friend.
Well maybe but you won’t be invited over for dinner.
11:22 am
Mmmmm marsupials…
11:24 am
Merry Christmas you old son of a…
That’s directed to everyone who is willing to accept it.
11:25 am
What marsupials would you eat if you did eat marsupials? I’ve never heard of anyone doing that outside of West Virginia, where possum pie is sometimes on the menu.
Anyway, mnspeakers, deck whatever needs decking with boughs of whatever you like to deck things with.
11:27 am
Accepted mb. Merry Christmas to you too. I hope you get a great gift from the job fairy.
11:27 am
Mmmmmm possum pie with kangaroo gravy…
11:28 am
I’ll only accept a season’s greeting from someone who is verified…
11:31 am
I like Wallaby Wellington. Mmm… delicious
11:32 am
I like Koala Kabobs with Sugar Glider gravy.
11:37 am
My uncle from Kentucky, Cecil Higgenbotham (no kidding!), is a great fan of possum stew.
11:40 am
Last time I was in Kentucky I had nutria sliders. Bizarre.
11:42 am
Mmm, kabobs. I enjoy those with cuscus couscous
9:01 am
@kc!: I used to buy a very good curried cranberry-walnut cheese ball at Lunds/Byerlys … then discovered I could easily make my own for, like, 1/3rd the price. Had fun doing so last year but didn’t this year because my kitchen was still a mess from my baking frenzy last weekend.
It’s best on sesame-rice crackers, btw.
