Christmas Time!
Hello once again, LJ folk. I've been rather busy lately, but I have managed to find time to share some links with you. This post features links about my favorite holiday: Christmas! Enjoy!

Geared towards the young (and maybe the young at heart), this site features a tour of Santa's Secret Village, complete with workshop, mailroom (write a letter to Santa!) and even a weather station.

This guide from How Stuff Works answers every question (and I mean every question) about Christmas. Now you can impress people with your knowledge of why we "deck the halls with boughs of holly".
http://www.bronners.com/
Online home for Bronner's CHRISTmas Wonderland (yes, that's how it's really spelled), billed as "the world's largest Christmas store". The actual store itself would make any Christmas lover wet themselves. This site sells everything Christmas all year long.

The ever-classic poem "A Visit From St. Nicholas" (also known as "Twas The Night Before Christmas") with a brief bio on the author, Clement C. Moore.

Impress Grandma with your cooking this year and check out this site, featuring more Christmas recipes than you can shake a candy cane at. (Of course, you can always just look at the pictures and drool, but don't get saliva on your keyboard.)
http://www.christmas-carols.net/
This site contains all the lyrics to almost every Christmas song known to man (even the ones you didn't know existed.)
http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/03724b.htm
Catholic Encyclopedia entry for Christmas which traces the history of the holiday (because we should all remember the Reason for the season).
Well, that's it for now. May you all have a wonderful Christmas and a blessed New Year.
