A Merry Christmas from your Big Bad Blog.

Good morning, world, and welcome to your special holiday edition of the Weekend Coffee. We have been saving up our holiday-themed links at the Big Bad Blog just for this occasion. Enjoy!

Time off, and all that jazz.

But there is still Christmas spirit here, or somesuch. Oh, yes.
