Hey ho everyone. Hope you had a good Christmas/holiday/day off. Monday’s SD posting was listed as “Is there a Santa Claus? (A Straight Dope Holiday Classic by Cecil Adams).” I was just wondering, is there any other holiday related column considered a SD Holiday Classic when posted or reposted? ---

Not as far as I am aware. However, who knows what holiday traditions might get started in the future? ---

[This column](http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/mcornsta.html), containing one of the most corny and cheesy answers Cecil has ever given, could be considered a Holiday Classic by some. ---

Thanks, **DS** , for the patch; much appreciated. (I think, actually, I was typing that while watching ST BENNY THE DIP on DVD, so was slightly distracted.)
