Elves, they're just so silly...

Tonight friends and dear readers gather around the fire and curl up under a warm blanket. Get a cup of cocoa and sit back and listen to perhaps the funniest story about all things Santa Claus, St, Nicholas, and 6 to 8 Black men. David Sedaris and his brilliant look at Christmas across cultures from his Live at Carnegie Hall CD. It's perfectly safe for the kids to boot.
