Barring any breaking news or major crisis, things will likely be quiet here on the front page for the next two days. I'm going to spend some time with my various families and eat like it's going out of style. I encourage you all to do the same!
Before I log off for a day or so, I did want to say that I've enjoyed the last couple of months here on the site. Things were dragging there at the end of the season, so it's nice to see some life breathed back into the site. Hopefully we can keep things going and you guys will all stick around (get it?) in the new year.
Enjoy your Christmas - even if you don't celebrate it!

I can't say it any better than did Slyde.
Not that Slyde’s all eloquent or anything. I just can’t say it any better. Merry Christmas to you all.

I was hanging up stockings on the mantle
And I accidentally knocked over part of the nativity set that was up there, spilling some of the figures onto the brick hearth below. Splitting baby Jesus in half is a good omen… right?
Solomon might think so.

You'll shoot your eye out!
Merry Christmas, fellow RRers. Maybe if we’re good, we’ll find a scrappy, speedy CFer with a good OBP in our Red stockings.

Merry Christmas everybody
Now if the Reds can give me my Christmas gift and trade for Adrian Beltre, we’d be all set.

First the Cubs, now the Red Sox...
New York Times may sell Red Sox stake: report
NEW YORK (Reuters) — The New York Times Co is trying to sell its stake in the holding company of the Boston Red Sox baseball team, The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday, citing people familiar with the discussions.
The sale, which could give the Times desperately needed cash as newspaper advertising revenue falls and its debt payments loom, could involve its 17.5 percent stake in New England Sports Ventures and possibly the struggling Boston Globe daily newspaper, the Journal reported.

christmas is fun for me
i’m not christian much less Catholic and I spend this time with my Catholic side of the family. The prayers are the worst because I never know what is going on.

I don't mind Catholic services
They’re generally shorter than Protestant services. And you move around a lot – standing, sitting, kneeling – which keeps me from falling asleep. It reminds me of sitting in the pep section at a school football game. “Lean to the left, lean to the right, stand up, sit, down, fight, fight, fight!” ;-)

mostly i don't like it
because i don’t know when to do the hand gestures and stick out like a Unitarian around a bunch of Catholics, mostly because I am a Unitarian around a bunch of Catholics.

I don't mind
I’m an atheist, and religious types tend to be so happy I’m actually going to church they don’t mind if I don’t know much about it. :-)

Just in case you were wondering how Jay Bruce's holiday is going
Here’s an article he did with MLB.com. And I’m really hoping he delivers on his Christmas gift this year:
MLB.com: If you could put one gift under the collective Reds fans’ holiday tree, what would it be?
Bruce: A World Series. You think they’d be all right with that?
Why yes, Jay, I think we would.

The Yankees ground crew put a Christmas tree on the mound. Seriously!

At least it wasn't Wrigley Field
You wouldn’t want Lou Pine-iella kicking it over.

they might prefer a Festivus pole in Chicago
Festivus display at Illinois Capitol
The debate over religious displays in the Illinois Capitol’s rotunda took a farcical turn this week when a student at a Lake Forest boarding school put up an aluminum pole to honor Festivus.
…Michael Tennenhouse, 18, said he was home in Springfield on winter break, taking in impeachment hearings at the Capitol, when he came across a nativity scene, a menorah and an atheist group’s display in the rotunda. The exhibits have stirred up controversies, all of which struck Tennenhouse as silly.
“This is grown adults arguing about something nobody could really prove,” he said. “Religious displays should not be in public buildings.”
So Tennenhouse filled out an application to put up the Festivus pole (“the lady burst out laughing”), which was approved the same day.
