Twas The Month Before Christmas…
Like a lot of times when I go looking for something here in the ‘Grok, other stuff keeps popping up. This was originally posted back in November 2009. Putting aside some of the cultural references for now, the intent is still as valid today as it was back then.

Palate Cleanser – Exploding Glitter Bomb V 4.0
This has become an annual thing with me – Mark Rober’s revenge on porch poachers.

How to Combat the Grinch in the Public School and Bring the Joy of the Holidays to Students
Parents are concerned that some of their public schools are removing the joy from the upcoming holiday season. I remember as a child in a public elementary school, participating in a Christmas program where parents were invited. We sang Christmas carols, and put on a Christmas program.
Friday Open Thread – So, have you left the couch yet or has all your money left your wallet?
