Raise your hand if you believe in Santa Claus.
Note that Web Watch didn’t write “if you still believe”, as the word “still” implies that there’s a time when you naturally stop believing in what Santa’s all about.
If you haven’t already seen or heard about this, Canadian airline WestJet decided to be a little giving for some of their lucky passengers on recent flights.
Do you make a holiday shopping budget every year?
You know, how you carefully decide that you’re not going to spend any more than, say, $200 total over the course of the holidays… and then end up spending $1300 instead because you just end up going crazy at the mall? Everything’s on sale! Gotta get it now, now, now!
Christmas Rush – A Soundtrack For Your Holiday Shopping Experience
What did you have to eat for Thanksgiving?
If you were anything like the average American family, your Thanksgiving meal likely looked something like this:
- Turkey (of course). And eaten with the skin
- Mashed potatoes
- Dressing, lots of bread
- Rolls, even more bread
- Sweet potatoes. With or without marshmallows
- Pie. Lots of pie.
- Don’t forget the gravy
And that’s all just the appetizer course. Remember all the cheese, shrimp, crackers, beef stick, and other snacks you also ate during the game?

Halloween is known for three things:

Web Watch readers know that Web Watch appreciates a good magic show.
The key for us in watching a good magic show is being able to escape from the practical, logical mind and stop wondering about how David Copperfield or Penn & Teller do their acts and enjoy the illusions for what they are. As the old saying goes, don’t ruin the magic.
The illusions aren’t the same once you know how they’re done, or at least have thought of a plausible way for the trick to be accomplished. You spend all your time looking for the hook and not appreciating the trick for the trick.
