Mondo Diablo 384: My Elf Sacrifice

I'm reading this awesome book about Christmas Origins, and I think some of you might like it.

Old Magic of Christmas by Linda Raedisch

I chose part of a chapter on elves, since my mouth dropped open more there than in the pages before. Who knows; I haven't finished the book!

Mondo Diablo 382: But Who Will Save Thanksgiving?

Yes, it's Time for Turkey, as the lady on the radio says. Or rather, as all those made-up freaks on the food network say. Actually, to tell you the truth, I love Thanksgiving Live on the Food Network. Much better than the balloon parade. Just listen to my sermon on the podcast, and Keep Calm.
