Nah, no grumpy Christmas for me. The blog will be off tomorrow while I bake a Merck's Cake, smell deep drafts of pine, and give an array of pop-culturtastic presents to the people I love the most. But I'll leave you with my new favorite Christmas song, courtesy the lovely and talented Amanda Mattos:
May all your Christmases bring such happy surprises. I'll see you all on a reduced schedule next week, and we'll continue with Cryptonomicon then.
