Merry Christmas From The Family

I agree with Fake Steve, this is still the finest Christmas song ever: "Merry Christmas from the Family" by Robert Earl Keen.



Fake Steve's second paragraph, by the way, refers to his recent posts, in which he seemed to discuss, semi-seriously and out of FSJ character, the prospect that Apple was going to pay him off to shut down (as may have happened to the Think Secret guy). At first I wondered if it was true, but realized it was just a masterful way to hype up his readership in order to fire this brilliant and dead-on missive across Apple's bow.
