12/11 Open Thread: 14 Days 'til Xmas

So, uh, about Saturnalia, or Yule, or midwinter, or solstice by any other name, just because they're the original holidays doesn't mean they're the best. From a marketing perspective, they are small potatoes, perhaps because they've been inadequately marketed. Heh.

It's an open thread, so have at it. The floor is yours .
