Explain this holiday to me now, please. You know the one. The one with snow and trees and overweight men in bad suits with worse facial hair. I'm new! I don't know these things!

"Deck the halls with boughs of holly..."

Damn, now I'm going to have that stuck in my head for the rest of the day.

And the presents are because the Three Wiseguys showed up at his birth and gave gold, frankincense, and myrrh. So, tradition.

Umm, I think they were spices. Used to wrap corpses.

Yeah, depressing gifts.

Maybe they were for the trade-in value?

It was a king thing. I don't get it either. Something about how they were the kind of thing everyone would need, and really, who wants stuff they need?

I do wonder about those Wise Guys. Maybe it was a threat?
