Urban’s Ornaments Make Us Giddy For The Holidays

How adorable are these tree ornaments from Urban Outfitters? I don’t even celebrate Christmas and they make me want to decorate a tree. Choose from cutesy food designs of cupcakes, sushi rolls, TV dinners, or a sparkling pickle (this one’s for you, Snooki). Other cheeky items to spruce up your tree include unicorns, beer cans, owls, and mustaches (to each their own, we suppose). [$8-20, Urban Outfitters] Keep reading »

For $15,000, This Edible Gingerbread House From Neiman Marcus Will Eat You Out Of House

The Neiman Marcus Christmas Book is out! We had to ask ourselves what could possibly top last year’s cupcake car, and have found our answer in an edible, life-size gingerbread playhouse by Dylan’s Candy Bar, which retails for $15,000. So what does $15K get you? Three-hundred and eighty-one pounds of gourmet gingerbread, 517 pounds of icing (which is how heavy you will be if you attempt to eat it), and thousands of fixings including “giant cookies, lollipops, gummies, mints, gumdrops, and (of course) a candy-encrusted roof.” Your child’s new abode also comes partially furnished with a lollipop tree inside. We imagine the recipient of this gift is either a complete Candy Land freak (with loaded parents) or this kid. [Neiman Marcus] Keep reading »

WTF: QVC Is Already Celebrating Christmas

Seriously, people? It’s not even September, but QVC has already started pushing Christmas merchandise and has decked out its homepage with seasonal cheer. Can we please put the holiday shopping craze on hold until, like October? At least? Help us, Santa! Help! [QVC] Keep reading »

Jewish Girl Seeks “Goyfriend” for Christmas

Up until I was six years old, my family celebrated Christmas. Although both of my parents are Jewish, our family was not particularly religious. They just thought Christmas was a fun holiday for kids. I still fondly remember my Miss Piggy star ornament sparkling atop the tree. Ahh, memories. Keep reading »

What’s The Best Holiday Dish You Chowed Down On?

Ah, the holiday season! It’s full of presents, family, and best of all food, lots and lots of food. And it’s not your average fare. At parties people really bust out their best recipes. Fat intake flies out the window, and my diet becomes basically, cream, butter, sugar, and pork. Mmm! Although I can’t really cook, I can really eat. While I thought I had basically conquered deliciousness with the yummy stuff I’d eaten to date, this year I ate my way to the peak of perfect mouthfuls. A family friend brought over her honey scallops wrapped in bacon. There are no words in the English language to describe the crispy flavor explosion that those bites brought. Heck, I’d probs give up sex in exchange for a lifetime supply. Is that crazy? Honey, if loving bacon is wrong, I don’t wanna be right! Now, what was the most mind-blowingly awesome thing you ate during the holidays this year? Keep reading »

Fred Says: You Betta Watch Out! Fo Reals


“White Christmas,” “Silent Night,” “All I Want For Christmas Is You” … total holiday classic tracks. But this year, YouTube sensation Fred is lifting his squeaky voice in silly song about Santa à la SketchySantas.com. And the kid’s gotta point. While women heart a sexy man in a suit, a dude with a fake beard does raise an eyebrow. Keep reading »

Mind Of Man: What To Buy Her For Christmas

I did something I’ve never done this holiday season: I bought The Girl I’m Currently Dating a necklace for Magic Space Baby Day (i.e., Christmas). A silver, heart-shaped locket to be exact. I did this because she has a beautiful, graceful neck and I wanted her to be able to show it off. And I think this necklace does that — it’s subtle. It merely accents something that was gorgeous to begin with. I’m proud of the gift. But I’ve never purchased jewelry before. I was under the impression it was a lame, cliché choice. Keep reading »

Julian Casablancas Performs “SNL” Christmas Song


One of my favorite albums of the year is the Julian Casablancas solo record Phrazes for the Young — if you’re a fan of The Strokes, especially their first record, and you love Julian’s voice as much as I do, buy this album, like, now. One of the bonus tracks on the album if you download it off of iTunes is “I Wish It Was Christmas Today,” which originally was a skit on “Saturday Night Live” featuring Horatio Sanz, Jimmy Fallon, Chris Kattan, and Tracy Morgan. Last night, Casablancas performed on Jimmy Fallon’s show, and the host, as well as Sanz, came on stage to assist him as he sang the holiday tune. Check it out above and remind yourself of the original, after the jump… Keep reading »

Girl Talk: I’m A Stripper For The Holidays

‘Tis the season! That’s right — Christmas. We all endure the holidays with that familiar combination of dread and enjoyment. So much to look forward to! There are the office parties, the family get-togethers, the decorations, and the gift exchanges. Everyone has their own unique holiday traditions. My favorite tradition is to spend the holidays in the buff. In fact, the holidays just aren’t the same if I’m not naked. Why? Because I’m a stripper, and naked is what I do best. Keep reading »

How Bostoners Celebrate The Holidays


Say hello to Santa Speedo Run 2009, a charity event in Boston. Hot men and random women dress up as Santa in a Speedo and run half-naked through the streets. That’s a lot of jingle bells jingling. [Uncoached] Keep reading »
