-Mercy moo moo, Christmas is right upon us! Jolly old Saint Nicholas bearing down on us in his sleigh like the homicidal truck driver from "Duel," his reindeer glassy-eyed and snorting fire, the lead's proboscis glowing an unearthly crimson, and oh, how you run -- but it's too late, child, too late. That right jolly old elf, he swoops down and, before you can protest, offers you a Coke and a smile.

That stuff'll rot your teeth, you know.

There's nothing in the world like a homemade Christmas present! I should know, because I'm in-process of making a homemade Christmas present, and despite the amount of work I've put in, it's currently amounted to nothing. These things take forever! I'm lucky I have very, very, very patient friends.
