My sweetheart and I celebrate Newtonmas. On Newtonmas Day we exchange gifts of knowledge that contribute to our intellectual (and skeptical) development.

(And then we go to my mum's for the annual family gathering where people give and receive gifts of obligation.)

The irony, of course, is that Sir Isaac Newton ws not only a zealot in a Big Way, he wasn't really a scientist. He was the last of the magicians.

hmmm, I don't know where to hang my map of the world when my room is re-arranged...

I don't know Austin powers, but DVD boxes are always good (I got dvd boxes of matrix, monty python and Hitch-Hiker's Guide tv series)

My parents showed how much they value my life by giving me a Unicycle

My mother-in-law gave me rollerblades.

She gave the rest of my family regular skates.

Ok, not to turn this sour... but here's a story anyways.
My ex-boyfriends grandparents buy a birthday cake, and sing Happy Birthday to Jesus as part of their xmas dinner tradition. I found the thought of it very creepy, so I never spent xmas with him or his family.

Anyone else have any weird or personal xmas tradtions?

Our family eats Froot Loops for breakfast before we open our presents. It started when we lived in Germany. We couldn't get Froot Loops there at the time, so my grandmother would always mail us a big box from Canada as a present. We've lived back here for 16 years and we still keep up with it.

I set up a Santa trap every year to catch Santa Claus, so I can interrogate him.

I have a very simple question I want answered. When I was a kid, and I was naughty, he brought me presents. But there were kids I knew that he didn't bring presents to that had been very nice. Some of them were black, some were hispanic, etc. All were poor. I want to know why Santa doesn't deliver presents to the poor, but will deliver presents to a naughty white boy.

I think Santa Claus is racist, and I think he's fascist. I haven't yet decided if I"m going to set him free again after I finally catch him. I think he needs to stand trial.
