Christmas is traditionally a time for ghost stories, a subject for which I have an immense affection, so much so that I once spent an entire decade or so, on and off, researching and writing a book about poltergeists and their implied social and psychological meaning. Or, at least, that what I thought I was writing. (more…)

Santa Claus and science fiction don’t typically go together, but the 2011 animated film Arthur Christmas proves they probably should—if you want to keep the Santa Claus legend up to date, that is. Arthur Christmas draws from Mission Impossible, The Incredibles, Apollo 13, Dr. Strangelove, and Star Trek as much as it does from Miracle on 34th Street or any other Christmas movie which calls into question the existence of Santa—and, by extension, the spirit of Christmas itself.

The first thing we heard was the bells, the familiar ching ching ching coming through the frosty air from a distance. My mother would turn out the living-room lights and we would all crowd to the window to watch the arrival of the great man himself, my little (and identical twin) brothers standing on chairs or each other to get a good view. Then the amplified Christmas carols could be heard: Once in Royal David’s City, Silent Night, We Three Kings. (more…)

Who Is Taleb A., and Why Did He Plow Through a Crowd at a Christmas Market in Germany?
On Friday, a driver plowed his rented black BMW through a densely packed throng of shoppers at a Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany. At least five were killed—a nine-year-old and four adults—and over 200 others were injured. CCTV footage of the massacre is gut-churningly violent. (more…)

Hearing that a black man who stands accused of stabbing two teenage girls in New York’s Grand Central Terminal on Christmas morning told arresting officers “I want all the white people dead” sounds depressingly familiar — at least if you’re white and don’t have a death wish.
Both girls were released from the hospital with minor injuries. The secret Yuletide surprise is that two major New York newspapers are using the term “anti-white” in their coverage of the incident. (more…)

It was morning in America and Christmas Eve in Boston, but Reagan’s good cheer, once again making America the greatest show on Earth, had little effect on me because I was stuck doing a double shift.
I was a security guard, and “doubles,” as we grudgingly called them, were a staple of the trade. In addition to being a guard, I was also a writer, artiste, and bon vivant, but survived on the paltry paycheck coming from door number one. I’d been in Boston for four years and was poor, but happy.
