An Unforgettable Christmas – It is so true: “Kids learn to love what brings their parents delight.” There is direct application for the Christmas season.

Embiggening English – It has been many, many years since I’ve watched an episode of The Simpsons. But I did enjoy reading this article about its impact on the English language.
