Greetings and welcome to the Un-Zone, the site for all things Un. It's the holiday season and in order to celebrate it fully, Christmas-related websites for your perusal.
"The Twelve Days of Christmas" is a famous Christmas carol. The one where the guy gives all of those gifts and trying to remember what gift goes with what day. Well, according to a British researcher/historian, it was a song about pagan mating rituals before the Catholic Church messed everything up. I can understand where he is coming from. The guy gives expensive gifts and in the end, he is jumping up and down celebrating 'cause he hit the homerun out of the ballpark. Sounds like the modern mating ritual being used today, but without the "I love you baby" and other phrases.

It's a sign of the times. More children now are writing Santa Claus e-mail than letters sent through the mail. Instead of getting disillusioned and saying "Santa Claus doesn't exist," they say "Santa commited a 404 error."

Oooh...with gas prices so high and worries about global warming, the government is advising Santa to ditch the reindeer and go with public transportation. Reindeer produce too much methane.

Now you can track where your Christmas presents are by using the Internet. It's the NORAD Santa website. Let's just hope with the global war on terrorism, the federal government doesn't consider him a hostile bogey.

That's all for now.
