You’re not going to believe this, but there are websites that instruct people how to put lighted candles on their Christmas trees “safely.” Sure, it’s maddening to untangle miles of Christmas lights that we swore we’d never schmoosh back into old boxes after the holidays, but it’s safer to go all “Griswold” than to set fire […]
Christmas 2012 falls on a Tuesday, which for some reason seems odd. Y’know?

To some, the words “full pool” might mean there are too many kids splashing around in your neighbor’s above-ground pool … making noise late at night.
