• Sure, Scanner’s bringing us the fabulous Holiday Gift Guide (hand-crocheted finger puppets of Hillary and Obama make perfect stocking stuffers), but they’ve got so many other gifts for you…
Check out the holiday guide to snogging at office parties; Scanner Emily’s advice for snogging to Led Zeppelin; UCLA students run through the night in their undies; and Britney’s new video will be premiere on…20/20?

Oh well, if we concentrate on the war on Christmas, maybe it’ll make that nasty Iraq war fade into the background…
