Holly Lisle has an amazing amount of writing advice at her website, and I've been click-click-clicking away. There's the typical stuff for beginners, but she also has articles on things like "One-Pass Manuscript Revision" and "Editor Etiquette." I can't believe I haven't found this before.
General Zod presents his feelings on Christmas:As the planet Houston month of December arrives each year, you humans have a strange "holiday" which you prefer to "celebrate". This strange occasion is known as "Christmas". I have yet to meet this "Christ" person that the holiday references, but should I meet him, I guarantee that he shall kneel before Zod! Should he not, he will pay for his defiance with his life. Then again, most humans have informed me that this "Christ" is nothing more than a fabrication of your puny minds, and that the "holiday" is all about commercialism and greed. Well at least it is an evil holiday, so I approve of that. But the name of the holiday must go. From now on, you shall refer to it as "Zodmas." Anybody heard speaking the name "Christmas" shall be killed without hesitation.
Now then, while this "Christ" character is a farce, I have heard many tales of a man by the name of "Santa Claus" who travels to your homes every Christmas to bring you "presents" for being "good little boys and girls". WHO IS HE TO JUDGE WHETHER OR NOT YOU HAVE BEEN GOOD OR BAD??? I DEFY YOU SANTA CLAUS!
KNEEL!
