PEZ-TASTIC!
It's jolly ol' Saint Nick, dispensing candy to good lil' boys and girls! There have been several Santa Pez dispensers through the years but this is the latest one and is still on the market. But you better snatch him up while you can because next year brings us a new redesigned Santa Claus Pez!

FELIZ NA-BEE-BLAH
"The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, and I hope everything on my list will be there".
There's lots of Christmas Specials but we all know Pee-Wee's Playhouse Christmas Special is the best. Featuring the regular characters from the Playhouse, as well as loads of guest stars, Pee-wee teaches Little Richard how to ice skate, forces Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello to make Christmas cards, ignores a phone call from Dinah Shore, tells Whoopie Goldberg she can't be on the Special, goes for a sleigh ride with Magic Johnson and even meets Santa Claus. Plus, there's Charo and lots of fruit cakes! Now that's a Christmas Special!

EVERY FILM OF 2011
There were some good films this year, nothing incredible that I've personally seen in theaters, but still some good entries. Genrocks gives a look at all the films this year - the good (Win Win, X-Men: First Class, Poetry), the bad (Super, Sucker Punch) and the ugly (I'm talking to you, Adam Sandler).
Thanks, Stan!
