    <![CDATA[Somewhere, someone is having a perfect Christmas, filled with chestnuts roasting and sleigh bells ringing&#8230;<br/><br/>Screw &#8216;em.<br/><br/>Most of us are having just the opposite: a nutcrackin&#8217; nightmare of anger, hurt feelings, evil in-laws, and carbs beyond counting.  A time when grudges grow and gasses pass.  A time of maxed-out credit cards and a ham that the vegetarians are ready to hurl through the frosty window.<br/><br/>It&#8217;s <em>that</em> holidays that we celebrate here.<br/><br/>Evil little brothers, pregnant tattooed sisters, horny dogs, and cross-dressing dads&#8211;they&#8217;re all here, ready to spread their Christmas cheer.  So untangle the lights, spill some eggnog, and gather &#8216;round the place where happier families would have a piano.  Now prepare to enjoy all the carols you love&#8211;with new lyrics you&#8217;ll love even more.  &#8220;O Holy Fight,&#8221; &#8220;Silent Wife,&#8221; and &#8220;Grandpa Fell&#8221; (the ballad of Gramps and his bourbon, set to the tune of &#8220;Jingle Bells&#8221;).  Yes, all your old favorites are here, with words that express, at last, the true sentiments of the season.<br/><br/>Remember: We wish you a Merry Christmas!  But we can&#8217;t guarantee it.]]>
