We need some of the love, peace and joy that Jesus brought to earth here at USCatholic.org (at least based on the comments on Bryan's blog).

So here are some fun Christmas links:

If we are going to have nativity scenes in public places, we're going to have Festivus poles too. We forgot to get a Festivus pole into the fun piece of art for Manger Danger, but this blog post from last year illustrates the problem David Lysik talks about.

The Holdman Family's Christmas displays (music and 150,000 lights) are some of my favorite holiday videos. If you need some happiness, watch them (and the news story about them) and you can't help but smile. Even better, the Holdmans raise money for Make-A-Wish with their display.

This video might rival the Holdman's displays for creating some holiday cheer.

And finally, don't forget to check out our own little Christmas video.

As Santa says (or maybe not, according to this book), "Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!"
