Com ja s'han acabat les festes i, parafrasejant als reis de la comèdia: 'You must always face the curtain with a bow', us deixo amb algunes frases - entrades sobre el Nadal.

Samantha Bee, corresponsal de premsa a The Daily Show w/ Jon Stewart parla de la celebració general del dia de Nadal a EEUU a raó de la controvertida Guerra al Nadal que es va generar entre els partidaris de desitjar 'Happy Christmas' y el spartidaris de dir, simplement, 'Happy holidays'.

Samantha Bee: But really, let's face it. All other days bow down to the 25th. It's the only religious holiday that's also a federal holiday. That way, Christians can go to their services and everyone else can stay home and reflect on the true meaning of separation of church and state.

Dave Barry, Christmas Shopping
In the old days, it was not called the Holiday Season; the Christians called it 'Christmas' and went to church; the Jews called it 'Hanukka' and went to synagogue; the atheists went to parties and drank. People passing each other on the street would say 'Merry Christmas!' or 'Happy Hanukka!' or (to the atheists) 'Look out for the wall!'

Alan Davies: Blind them.

I per acabar, la meva escena preferida de totes les obres de Terry Pratchett. Es un fragment de la pel·lícula The Hogfather, basada en el llibre del mateix títol de l'autor.

Carry on, joyful fandom

A merry, merry Christmas de la gent de Las Reglas del Zeppelin! Mon dieu!

Con mis vacaciones recién terminadas y un gusto agridulce en la boca por el final de una semana fantastica y el principio de las navidades, os dejo con una nadala navideña cortesía de TV3.
