I remember every detail as if it was yesterday that we would put on the VHS tape on Christmas day after opening presents. I also remember at the time having no idea who David Bowie actually was, just that he was the man that introduced the Snowman in his attic. Here is the full animated [...]

Here’s something different for a holiday party– Dr. Pepper, as in the cherry cola, served as a hot beverage! In the 1960s, the soft drink brand made a go of marketing it as some kind of non-alcoholic alternative to mulled wine. Easy to prepare–simply heat Dr Pepper in a saucepan until it steams and pour [...]
Gift giving can be a little tricky because you don’t want to give mediocre presents to your loved ones, but if you find something really special, chances you’re probably going to feel tempted to keep it …. right?

So it’s that time of year again when magazines do their crappy annual gift guides, “guiding” you to buy $100 cashmere socks, $75 scented candles and generally the most mundane, over-priced gift ideas you could ever think of (and would land in serious debt if you actually took their advice).

I noticed the Christmas lights were suddenly hanging in the streets of Paris today, as if they had been installed on some covert mission to begin force-feeding us with merry Christmas joy. Of course once you’ve passed the age of twelve, Christmas for you only means being slightly drunker and getting a little fatter. But [...]
This year, I could have gone ahead with another personality-themed gift guide like I’ve been seeing all over the goddamn internet. You know … gadgets for geeks, cooking utensils for cooking enthusiasts etc. But guess what I figured out? Geeks know their gadgets better than anyone and would rather buy their own sh*t– the same [...]
It’s that time of year again when little gingerbread men haunt my dreams. It’s also that time of year when people get kind of, you know … fat (totally unrelated to my problem with gingerbread men), shops and department stores pull out their terrifying, asbestos-accumulating artificial christmas trees and the streets are generally alight with [...]
