As you know, for the first thousand or two years we sent out Christmas cards all the way from Lapland to your postbox to let you know when and where you can catch a glimpse of Santa. But, yippee, that's not needed any more because you can track Santa every step of the way as he delivers great joy to homes around the world: simply go to the NORAD SANTA TRACKER. My cousin Pepper Minstix and all the elves worked very hard to make your Christmas special this year. We all hope your having a Merry Christmas. God bless you. Slade (happy people)

Yes, everybody would like to have their own reindeer but it simply is not possible. Reindeer need more attention than dogs or cats; they talk more, play more and are quite a handful. They also eat more! But you can still get about in style with your very own Christmas bicycle.

Soon either John McCain or Barack Obama is going to be overcome by a tremendous sense of failure. For although only death is feared more than failure, the latter is heartbreaking but need not be lethal. Indeed, as JK Rowling sums it up: "It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all - in which case, you fail by default." JK Rowling Speaks at Harvard Commencement from Harvard Magazine The transcript of this exceptional speech by JK Rowling can be found at Harvard Magazine. Read it, take heed. Respect those who try to do their best. Never give up.
