Merry Christmas one and all. I mostly lurk here and seldom comment, but I learn so much about upcoming trends from things posted but mostly what people think about them in the comments. Thank you all for your hard work and keep it coming. I promise to post more next year.

#42Merry Christmas.
If you are still looking for a Christmas read or present to give to your startup friends, my book about systematic SEO (think SEO for system thinkers) is today free on Amazon/Kindle:

The books goal is to make all SEO companies redundant, so I think its a great gift for really anyone.

#43Does anyone have a map of which countries celebrate Xmas (first day) on 24 and which ones on 25?
Us Dutchies celebrate it on 25 and 26! Both of them are holiday days by law, which means you get the day off.
If you do work (retail or food service, mostly), you usually get 150-200% of your regular wage on these days.

#44I love this community. I have been on here years and it became one of the very few forums where I decided to finally stop lurking and make an account. It is extremely well moderatet, the discussion are on an amazing level. Topics are fantastic. To all of you: thank you so much and a very merry christmas! I hope you are doing fine.
On top of all you mention, what I like is vast broad perspective on practically any topic. History, politics, warfare, ultra deep sciences, geeky computer stuff, law, surveillance, travelling... name it, and discussion will get deep pretty quickly. Even disagreements are done in a very mature way (I still think Dang is some prototype AI, I cant imagine what will happen if he goes for 2 weeks off).
I must admit, I come here much more for community discussions rather than articles linked.

#45I am huge fan of SomaFM, so here is awesome, and somewhat endless NY music in different styles.
Crafted by 7" Soul's DJ Dion "The Watts" Garcia, this is a mix of classic soul holiday tracks. Some extremely rare, some holiday standards, but all of it combines to make a special holiday soul experience. https://somafm.com/jollysoul/
SomaFM's wacky and eclectic holiday mix. Not for the easily offended. For people tired of traditional holiday music. From the offensive, raunchy and nasty to the silly and childish, a mix of music for Hanukkah, Kwanza, Winter Solstice and of course Christmas. You'll probably get in trouble if you listen out loud at the office, but it might be worth it just to offend your annoying co-workers. https://somafm.com/xmasinfrisko/
Indie/Alternative meets traditional/classic rock'n'roll music all about the holidays. From The Beach Boys and Bob Dylan to Belle & Sebastian and Sufjan Stevens, make your holiday season rock this year. Uncensored, but shouldn't be offensive to anyone but the most uptight haters of rock'n'roll. https://somafm.com/xmasrocks/
For fans of Groove Salad, Lush and downtempo/lounge music fans in general, this is the perfect holiday radio. Christmas classics redone in a chilled-out manner make for a stress-free holiday. https://somafm.com/christmas/
Holiday Elevator Music from a more innocent time. A Department Store Christmas features beautiful music (also known as elevator music) renditions of Christmas and Holiday classics. https://somafm.com/specials/

Can't decide if this is parody or real! Bro.

Even without the alternate dates Christmas lasts longer than 48 hours .. So that poses a question, just how long does Christmas day last for, from the first moment at the first place to the last moment at the last place about the globe? Merry Christmas all.
When I was a kid, we advanced Christmas by 12 hours each year. Where "Christmas" is defined as "when can we open our presents?"
At first, it was the morning of the 25th.
The next year, we asked "Please, can we open one present on Christmas Eve?" And so we did, that night.
The year after that, it was "What about the morning of Christmas Eve? Just one, please?"
You can figure out the next year. "The evening of the 23rd? Please?!?"
Maybe the real lesson is that Christmas can be every day of the year. Every day that you hope something wonderful can happen.

I rarely read the articles linked. Instead, I find myself getting lost in the tangential threads which have little to nothing to do with the article.
