Christmas

For most of the year, Mary Christmas' name causes snickers. Then, when the calender turns into December, it can just be confusing.

Have you ever wondered how Rudolph got his red nose? Well, Dutch scientists have finally explained the mystery. Turns out, the reindeer's shiny nose is the direct result of "hyperemia of the nasal mucosa." Way to take all the magic out of Christmas, science.

Every year, hours are spent scouring the Internet and local stores for the perfect present that will change somebody's life, be the material representation of true friendship, and bring joy to humanity. Every year, that never happens. Every year, the unwrapping of gifts is an occasion met with dread. Every year, it's gift cards for everyone, and here's why.

It's December 21 and there is word that we may very well be in store for a white Christmas here in Billings!  I talked with Q2 Meteorologist Ed McIntosh for the very latest!

The origins of 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' were in a poem Tim Burton wrote in 1982. Disney became interested in the tale about a skeleton from a place called Halloween Town who tries to take over Christmas, but worried that the plot was "too dark and scary" for little kids.

It's a major award! Looks like the Library of Congress is in a very Christmas-y mood, as Bob Clark's classic 'A Christmas Story' is one of 25 new films selected for preservation into the National Film Registry. Oh fudge, indeed! Jump after the break to find out the other 24 titles!

I’m here to share my expertise with the group. Not about faking orgasms (you’re on your own kid) but to share what I’ve seen, what I’ve learned, and the best ways to react to crap gifts or to avoid the situation all together.
