I'm one of those guys who tend to leave the old Yuletide preparations until around 2 p.m. on Christmas Eve only to discover that half the stores closed early at 1 p.m. and those still open have got nothing left except for massive storewide clearances on Hanukkah wrapping paper. Yet for a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-Santa-suit-pants kind of guy I seem to have acquired over the years an enormous number of books on how to have the perfect Christmas. There's Checklist for a Perfect Christmas by Judith Blahink, and How to Have a Perfect Christmas by Helen Isolde, and The Absolutely Without a Doubt Most Fantastically Perfect Christmas Ever by Evelyn Minshull, and Creating Your Perfect Christmas: Stylish Ideas and Step-By-Step Projects for the Festive Season by Antonia Swingson and Sania Pell, because there's nothing you need around this time of year more than a multi-step project. The more steps the merrier, I always say. One stands agape before those folks who not only have their own seasonal celebrations under scheduled-to-the-second control but also find time to write a bestseller with a faintly hectoring title like It's Beginning To Look A Lot Less Like Christmas Than It Should Considering It's Already The Second Week Of September.

BTW ... did things work out for Steyn’s slot in Levin’s television station? I had a suspicion that he would cross the line with Levin at some point. I mean, it takes someone like Rush to appreciate him, right? Look at how Canada treated him.
Cat lovers appreciate guys like Steyn. We like independent thinkers.
