Goy to the World! Lost in the Supermarket Good Monty Python bit in the current New Yorker Gling Glo by Bjork makes a vunderfoollllllll holiday soundtrack (thank you for the early presie, Marcus!), along with South Park Christmas, of course. Whatever you do over the next couple of weeks, make sure it includes watching Office outtakes. Worth it just for Ricky Gervais' infectious hyena-type giggle fits. If you make mulled wine, use the Joy of Cooking recipe but TRUST ME you can take a couple of shortcuts by combining all ingredients except the wine at once--also, use what you have, not what they tell you to. Key is: Add wine at the very end and heat but do not bring to a boil. Took me about 10 minutes and the result was loverly. Humility, honesty, kindness, imagination HUMILITY not faux humility the real thing is so much harder
