1. First and foremost, there are the wonders of Burgh Baby’s Christmas Crazy — not just her own but everyone else’s. If you had any doubt that this holiday has gone over the top, please click and reconsider.
2. Not so much kooky as charming, Dyna Moe (the artist who makes those terrific Mad Men illustrations) compiles a collection of her holiday cards for the past decade.

4. Ginny of That’s Church highlights the joys of the Pittsburgh Steelers holiday 2009 videos — most especially, Dick LeBeau’s sweet, dramatic reading of “Twas the Night Before Christmas.”

These really perked up my morning here at work – thanks! Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year’s!
Merry Christmas, ma’am! I hope it’s a wonderful one!
