According to an item in today’s paper there is a group of people who have decided that Christmas Eve has to be preceded by Christmas Adam. They are celebrating the event with ribs of course. ---

Ugh. I suspect it’s all an unserious jest, but (and I may be over sensitive) it keeps feeling like some sort of dark joke by a “men’s rights” advocate that got taken semi-seriously. And of course, I may just be bitter because I have to work tomorrow (although only until 2pm) so I worked both Christmas Adam and Christmas Eve. And do we need even the secular portion of the holiday to stretch out to three freakin’ days? Bah Humbug! ---

“O Holy Night,” was composed by Adolphe Adam, so there’s your Christmas Adam. You’re welcome. May I go back to sleep, now? ---

This is wrong in a number of ways, but mostly because everyone knows Dec 23 is **Festivus**. ---
