Merry Christmas to all of you out there. Enjoy the season, spend time with your families and loved ones and remember that this is a time to enjoy those things that you hold dear. Remember, things could always be worse… So smile, damnit, or Santa’s going to leave you a lump of coal.

And for those who don’t want to celebrate Christmas as a religious holiday or an American cultural tradition, then you can celebrate the Christmas Beetle (Anoplognathus pallidicollis) if you would like… I’m sure they would appreciate the gesture, as the Christmas holiday gets far more attention then they do… And after all, even beetles need love over the holidays.
