Christmas

As if you needed one more thing to get you in the holiday spirit. Last year, She & Him, aka Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward, released one of the more enjoyable contemporary Christmas albums. If you must know, I prefer my holiday music with like I prefer my eggnog — spike with bourbon. Give me [...]

Samuel Jackson and Anne Hathaway let a friendly cup of hot cocoa devolve into a Yuletide sad off. I’m fairly certain Hathaway has the potential to become one of the most treasured comedic actresses if she wants to. [via popculturebrain]

Any oldie from College Humor, but still one of the better comedic holiday videos ever made. [via iwastesomuchtime]

Damn, Jimmy Fallon is absolutely killing it with his Xmas sketches this year, which has also seen him duet with Mariah Carey on “All I Want for Christmas is You”.

[approx. $556]”, is much better than eating a piece of bland, stale chocolate. Baby Jesus definitely gives the Whisky Advent Calendar by Drinks by the [...]

For his No Reservations Christmas special, Anthony Bourdain dreamed up a terrifying Krampus sequence, which Travel Channel executives had a problem with airing. Here’s Michelle Collins from BWE: It’s actually called a “Krampus” (also a brilliant Midol marketing campaign idea…), a mythical creature children raised in Alpine countries are told to believe in, who is [...]

Dear Baby Jesus: This is the scariest thing I’ve seen all week. Will you please come and save me from the terror? Sincerely, Mr. Oyster [Via BuzzFeed]

It’s safe to say that if Boris Karloff came down my chimney on Christmas eve, I’d probably shit my pants in terror. [via mothgirlwings]
