It's that time of year again - the Earth has tilted on it's orbit and the days are getting longer. The sun has shone into the burial chambers at NewGrange, the ritual music has been played (and played, and played), Google's gone all seasonal, and Americans are trying hard to not offend anyone by their words (by saying "happy holidays" instead of "happy Christmas"), while their government offends the entire world by their actions.
Here's some Christmas Urban Legends to while away the time with.

Is this a blog? Or is it just a diary? What makes a blog a blog anyway?
Are regular updates enough, or do you also require comments? Does it have to be interesting to others, or can you just do your own thing?
Is the cookie-cutter 'blogspot' style de-rigeur, so should you look like every other 'movable-type' site?
Who's your audience? Family? Friends? Other bloggers? Colleagues? Do you even have an audience, or is it just the equivalent of your own private soapbox that you can drag out from under the bed and heckle the world from when the fancy takes you?
Is it all some 'high-concept' literary project, with great and noble aspirations towards self-importance, or just, like, stuff, you know, words 'n writing 'n that.
Does it have a focus? Does it need a focus? Is there a heaven? Is there a hell? Anyone for the last few choc-ices now?
