In a show of technological savvy, Pope Benedict XVI turned on a massive Christmas light display in the Italian town of Gubbio by using a Sony Android tablet. It’s a miracle…of technology!
Despite all the glitz and glam, all the lights, tinsel and gifts, the holiday season doesn’t bring cheer to the majority of Americans. According to a new survey from Poll Position, only 37 percent of 1,072 adults surveyed answered that the holidays make them happier.
In recent years, TV networks have been trying to recreate holiday magic and create "modern classics" by producing lots and lots of holiday specials and movies, especially on cable.

On Monday, Sgt. Jamee Gains, an Oklahoma National Guard soldier returning from Afghanistan, gave her family the best early Christmas present possible: herself.
We’ve had our family Christmas tree up since black Friday. My Dad and I went out and chopped one down, and that Saturday we decorated it. We never really liked the idea of a fake Christmas tree, so we always go real. But the one problem is that all those trees get killed in the process.

Looking for a simple holiday treat recipe? Then consider these Santa Hat Brownies, which are made from ready-to-bake brownie mix, vanilla-mascarpone buttercream and strawberries. Ingenious! (And probably very yummy.)
Now that the Christmas viral videos have begun to roll out, we have a feeling this one will be one of the most-watched: a man and woman in red outfits lip-sync and dance to Mariah Carey’s ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ as if their lives depended on it.

Your holiday season is supposed to be easy and fun. It’s supposed to be relaxing, and a great time with friends and family. You know peace on earth and goodwill toward men? Somewhere along the way, things got very complicated and very stressful.
