Meet Mary Christmas, the Woman With Year-Round Yuletide Spirit
For most of the year, Mary Christmas' name causes snickers. Then, when the calender turns into December, it can just be confusing.

Professional wrestlers may seem like tough guys, but underneath their shiny spandex outfits and long, flowing hair (clearly a sign of ultimate masculinity), they have hearts of gold. Daniel Bryan, for example, recently met with a seven-year-old boy who has had brain cancer for almost four years, and says he's Bryan's biggest fan. It's okay if you need to go grab some Kleenex before you look at the pictures.
Deviant Art user and nerd extraordinaire Miguel Lokia took the idea of house words and sigils from 'Game of Thrones' and applied it to other favorite pop culture characters. From Bruce Wayne to the Hulk, these are our five favorite posters from the set.
Fine. Time magazine was right -- Barack Obama is the Person of the Year. We can't argue with this photo, which was taken back in October.
We love Santa. We really do! He's probably the coolest old guy we know, spending his life making presents, managing elves and eating cookies. Truth be told, we're sort of jealous. The jolly old guy usually looks bright and cheery and not all that scary, which is yet another reason we're fans.
I'll start off by saying these shoes or rather what I first called them "foot gloves" are not really new, the fact is they have been around for over 12 years now, but only those in the know have had access to this fine Italian footwear. The concept of a "foot gloves" with articulated toes were introduced in 1999. The Glove Shoes or as the inventor/designer called them "Five-Fingers" were the brainchild of Italian designer Robert Fliri. Today, they are called Minimalist Shoes or Skele-Toes.
Attention everyone: we now officially have T-minus eight days until Christmas, and preparation time is running out faster than we can shove holiday cookies in our mouths. We still have to buy last-minute presents, dig out those stockings from the back of our closets and make time for that awful office party.
This past Saturday, SantaCon took over New York City. For all of you unfamiliar with this classic American holiday, it's an entire day dedicated to dressing up like Santa Claus and getting a little crazy frolicking around with fellow Saint Nick look-a-likes. It's sort of like a massive Christmas flash mob that makes you feel like you're in a strange alternate universe, but it's actually totally awesome.
The Christmas comedy 'Elf' is about one of Santa's little helpers who learns that he is really human and then leaves the North Pole to seek out his birth family.
The film starred the long-limbed cut-up Will Ferrell as the "elf" in question, and became a huge holiday hit in 2003. 'Elf' also featured an all-star assortment of supporting actors and familiar faces. You can check out what the cast of 'Elf' is up to these days below.
For most of us here in the good ol' USA, winter means cold, cold weather. While a lot of the time that can really stink, it can also mean the arrival of snow, and we all know that's the best part of the wintry months! Snow angels are possible, intense snowball fights happen and (probably most importantly) snowmen can be made.
Yesterday's 12-12-12 benefit concert for Hurricane Sandy relief raised over $30 million dollars, but it wasn't all good. We're still cringing for Bobby Moynihan's awkward appearance as his 'SNL' character "Drunk Uncle," for example.
Contrary to popular belief, photobombing is super hard, and it requires a lot of skill. For starters, you have to get the timing down perfectly and do it so no one posing actually notices your moves leading up to the photobomb.
