Light day. I was on kid duty last night. We rushed through chores, prayers, teeth brushing, and everything else, so we'd be ready for The Year without a Santa Claus. Dancing and singing along to the best animated scene in Christmas TV history is one of our family traditions:
Unfortunately, Snow Miser freaked out Tess (2), and she wouldn't stop crying. She ended up in her room until Heat Miser was done.

"The Golden Compass" furor heats up. It seeks ad space in Catholic newspapers; Catholic group endorses it. It seems everyone (well, The Atlantic and Nick Milne, anyway) says the anti-religious content is watered down and that children will not be adversely affected by seeing it. But does that mean you take them? I suspect the decision to see it will boil down to this: Do you want to send Phillip Pullman 40 cents (or whatever it is he receives from each ticket sale) to compensate him for his anti-Catholic efforts?

Not much more today, but I found this humorous item: A German man was stopped by police after he was clocked doing 40mph down a high street in a tuned-up electric wheelchair.
