@love you dead: +1. I was gonna say UP!!! But then I remember how mushy it is and not very alone-time friendly.

@MercurialGirl: Ohh...nothing like homophobically snarky uncles to complete the holidays. I (being closeted to my family) have got one of those myself. Cheers!

@passionaria: Nope, it's Christmas! Allow yourself a bit of indulgence!

Lego sets. They define my childhood.

@jasminetea: Good point. I never thought about it in reverse, but it's so true. It's unsettling to me that in 2010 this question of basic civil rights is actually in debate. This is something that in 20 years we'll look back at and go, "legalizing gay marriage? Well duh!" It's like us looking back at interracial…

So does this mean that future iPhone cases will need to keep the logo exposed?

@goody_two_shoes: I agree with you that he is personally for it, and I know of the difficult political situation he is in. But as a revolutionary (can we call him that?) president whose campaign was built on this notion of "Yes We Can" and who so many worldwide look up to for "change", it is his job to stand up for…

Obams, I love you but "struggling" is not good enough. Limiting the gays to civil unions is simply not equality.

@addictedtopez: Elf just gets everything right for a fresh, modern Christmas classic. Pitch perfect.

@BuddyTheElf: annnnd hearted.

Stupidity...is there an app for that?

I'm 21 and I want that Harry Potter Lego set!

Now this is just all kinds of awesome.

Loving that Vogue cover. That suit! That dress! That pendant!

She looks perfect, rocking that oversized sweater!

Anyone else absolutely adore Elf and watches it every Christmas?

I don't mind receiving gift cards. Hey, they're at least a bit more personal than cash? And as some have pointed out, cash usually just ends up being spent on miscellaneous things instead of an actual gft for oneself.

@splash8204: Amen. The always handy Visa gift card always gets forgotten!

@RacecarBoobTat: Yeah, my thought also. LEDs all the way!

@8xoverMsOctober: Yeah, seriously. Canvas sneakers are not made for the winter. I'm always surprised to see people out in Chucks in the dead of winter here in Toronto....and fear for their demise against black ice.
