Hooray! Christmas has been saved!
Okay, a bit dramatic.
But the hue and cry surrounding the so-called Christmas tree tax had reached such a fevered pitch by this afternoon that you could have assumed the very holiday itself was under attack. Rest assured, the holidays are still on track.
Nonetheless, President Obama announced plans to nix the proposed fee on the sale of Christmas trees. No more Christmas tree tax.
The fees from the sale – which had… [read post]

It’s 11 days until Christmas and as each day goes by, we continue to hear more “War on Christmas” rants from the Religious Right.
The latest comes out of Alvarado, Texas, where a pastor plans to put on a production called “A Politically Correct Christmas.”
Pastor Rick Hope of the First Baptist Church of Lillian told the [...] [read post]

They’re playing non-stop Christmas music on the radio which is the universal indicator that the crazy portion of the holiday season has begun. I generally love the holidays, but I can’t stand the commercialistic beast that it’s become.

From US Patent No. 4,113,020, titled "Fire safety Christmas ornament."
It is that time of the year where when we prepare our homes for the arrival a jolly old magical chief elf who despite his enormous girth is still able to make his way down our narrow chimneys lickedy-split, while somehow managing not to get any soot on his pristine red and white trousers and overcoat.
In order to celebrate holidays I always like to profile some patents relative to the festivities, proving once and for all that… [read post]

'Tis the season. . .
Yep, the holidays are right around the corner. Will you be sending cards this year?
If you are, this excellent 13-step holiday greeting card guide for law firms will help you create a plan and a timetable.
You don't want to wait until the last minute. Not with so many decisions to make. Remember last year? You spent way too much time looking through catalogs to find just the right card (mustn't offend anyone) and then spent way too much money… [read post]

My review of the state-of-the-art sleigh technologies shows that during the early 1880s more comfortable sleigh rides were on the minds of many an inventor, and by the mid to late 1890s improvements evolved to include additional features, such as removable seats, steps to assist one to enter and disembark from the sleigh and various steering mechanisms. Like virtually all reviews of patented technology, even such low tech inventions as sleighs, the ongoing evolution of improvement is apparent, which… [read post]

While most are still in the thralls of the holiday season, others are ready to take full advantage of the post-Christmas sales.

Finally some good news: the cost of living is apparently holding steady.
Earlier this week, the IRS announced that interest rates will remain the same for the calendar quarter beginning January 1, 2012.
And that’s not the only indicator… The PNC Christmas Price Index® has been released this year and prices seem to be holding constant. The cost for a set of the gifts in the song “The Twelve Days of Christmas” bumped up a mere 3.5% to $24,263.18 for 2011. This follows a huge leap in 2010 of… [read post]
