And a merry Christmas to all!

We here at Slightly Humorous wish all of our readers a wonderful Christmas. Tomorrow the Princess and the Hero embark on their trip to the castle of the King and Queen in the Great White North, where the inhabitants take a dim view of one's closeting oneself in a room with a computer. They would prefer everyone closeting themselves together in the TV room to watch -- and comment upon the various merits of -- endless renditions of "Miracle on 34th Street." Therefore, new postings to this blog will appear sporadically, if at all, until their return next week.

We leave you with this happy thought: As of last Friday, only 8% of American shoppers had finished their Christmas shopping, so if you are in the other 73.6% (due to Fuzzy Math, numbers do not add up to 100), you are not alone. Unfortunately, this also means you are not alone at the stores for the next few days.
