Best new holiday treat recipe I have discovered: Alton Brown's White Trash. Three different kinds of cereal, pretzels, mixed nuts, and M&Ms all drenched in white chocolate. I've never tried crack, but I doubt it is this addictive and evil.
My three favorite entries for Christmas music: Trans Siberian Orchesta, The Muppets with John Denver, and the Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack. Although I did pick up an 80s rock Christmas CD recently and it is pretty cheesetastic too.
Most underrated reindeer: Blitzen.
Random wrapping observation: I can wrap the heck out of anything relatively flat, like a DVD or a book. But if it gets wide, forget about it. Pretty soon I'll just start blaming those terrible wrapping jobs on A.J.
I think I like multicolored lights more now than I used to.
If I'm putting booze in egg nog, it's either bourbon or spiced rum.
When I was a kid, I could not possibly imagine how my dad, or anyone else, would not want to get up at the crack of dawn on Christmas day. I get it now. It's been a fun transition so far, and it will only get even cooler every year as A.J. gets older.

Awesomeness of the Week
12 Days of Hair Metal is a series of low-fi video recordings of solo covers of 80s hair band classics, performed by Terra Naomi, shot by James Gunn. Even if you don't like hair metal, you owe it to yourself to check these out. They are fantastic. There will be a new one every day through Christmas.
