London churches hosted British bankers , intent on restoring their good name. Bloomberg reported that some confessed: Bankers became too obsessed with short-term gains in a financial crisis that is a “profoundly moral issue,” Lazard’s Ken Costa said in the church of St. Katherine Cree on Oct. 15. One intoned Jesus' teaching on selfishness: “The injunction of Jesus to love others...

For this year’s incarnation of their annual holiday show, the Dandy Warhols have decided to celebrate Natale, the Italian version of Jesus’ birthday, rather than Christmas. Seems like an offhand choice, since the band is from Portland, OR and half of the members are of Dutch descent, but Dandys art director Sean Gothman explained the choice on the band’s blog : [Italy’s] holiday...

There would be uproar if you had to work on both Christmas Day and Boxing Day every year, so it’s incredibly fortunate that both days just happen to fall on two consecutive bank holidays. I mean, what are the odds, eh? That said, the closure of supermarkets on Boxing Day last year caused 137 individuals [...]

The Strokes leading man, Julian Casablancas has gone all Mariah Carey on us and released a fancy little Christmas tune to bop along too when we celebrate Jesus' birth. ‘I Wish It Was Christmas Today,’ isn’t all that bad. It is what you'd expect, nothing too out of the ordinary, it’s very Stroke-sy easy listening and semi rocky. It’s more of song to listen to, as you drive...

Looking back through the site and our tipline, we have a couple of data points for when Starbucks first rolls out the Christmas stuff: An unposted email from last year has [...]

Lately, most of my thoughts have been consumed with holiday preparation and planning for our small family. Not because I want to be consumed with the "consumer" side of the season (although there are little lists and ideas being tucked away for stockings and such). I want my girls to understand what being thankful means and as they grasp that, celebrate advent and the birth of Jesus with...

Mia : Yay, Christmas is coming!! Me : Well, soonish. But there's lots of good stuff between now and Christmas. Mia : Like what? Me : Like Mommy's birthday and Thanksgiving and Daddy's birthday. Christmas is neat but there are lots of other fun and important days. Mia : Oh. Yeah. Now, I don't begrudge my daughter her love of Christmas. I remember, as a kid, loving Christmas with a similar passion,...

An apparently sober judge has ruled that environmentalism and belief in the “man-made global warming” is like a religion, proving what we’ve been saying for years. Except we were being sarcastic and mocking those loons. I guess this means the government must cease and desist all manner of involvement in the debate now, because you know, “church and state” and all that....

Coming later this month to AMC (you may now it better as that channel that airs Mad Men ) is airing a six part miniseries of The Prisoner staring James Caviezel (Jesus) and Ian McKellen (Gandalf). The series is remake, and if you have never heard of it before is because it was probably aired before you were born (1967) and in Britain.

It's getting towards that time of year again when everyone goes a little crazy and overindulges, over spends and over commits. We'll recover in February 2010. It won't come as any surprise that I'm no fan of this feast of consumption we call Christmas. Most of it (around 99% I reckon) has almost nothing to do with Jesus. So if you want a different kind of Christmas start thinking now if you haven't...

Remember a while ago when we said that the controversial (and decidedly insane) Christian-themed RTS Left Behind: Eternal Forces would be sold in Walmart? The game's publisher has today declared that scheme a success, selling well in that good ol' fashioned hotbed of Christian greatness, the American South. "At the rate Walmart inventory is moving, they will be out of games before Christmas, unless...
