Yep, the winter holidays definitely suck! There are a lot more reasons, such as greedy merchants shaming you for not spending enough, religious bugnuts getting in your face about "Jesus is the reason for the season!" (in fact, they stole it from pagans who were celebrating the Winter Solstice), crappy holiday Muzak, lousy weather, stupid holiday specials and episodes - I could go on and on and on.

Years ago my family began the tradition of "ungiving." Instead of exchanging presents, we donate to charity in each other's names. Sometimes we pick a charity or cause, and everybody gives to that one organization. This year it's helping victims of the California wildfires.

The "good old days" were actually terrible!

Beautiful! I don't think those dangling flowers will last long, though.

Yet another reason for the "Do Not Attempt" disclaimer.

Ha ha, Andrew! I'm sure that "Farout" is a temporary name.

From https://www.iau.org/public/themes/naming/#dwarfplanets:

There are several stages before a proposed name is accepted:

When a body is initially sighted it is given a provisional name, which is later superseded by a permanent numerical designation once its orbit has been well determined.
The discovery team suggests a suitable name to the two relevant IAU groups — the working groups for Small Body Nomenclature (CSBN) and Planetary System Nomenclature (WGPSN) — who together are responsible for naming dwarf planets. The name is intended to reflect the characteristics of the body itself, and be an appropriate moniker derived from mythology. Objects, including dwarf planets, far beyond the orbit of Neptune are expected to be given the name of a deity or figure related to creation; for example Makemake, the Polynesian creator of humanity and god of fertility, and Haumea, the Hawaiian goddess of fertility and childbirth.
The IAU finally decides on the assignment of the name, priority given to the ones proposed by the discoverers.
Dwarf planets may not share a name with any other small Solar System bodies.

Kid: "OK! OK! I'll make sure my family has Tofurky for Thanksgiving dinner next year!

A Harry Potter reference was inevitable.

African grey parrots are very intelligent, in addition to being outstanding mimics. Maybe if humans vanished, they would be the next species to take over.

I don't know about you, but that thing creeps me out!

Let's see the Flat Earth bugnuts explain this picture!

Thar's gold on that thar planet! :D

That picture gives new meaning to the term "Iron Horse"!

This is a really s***ty article!

Aren't you glad that medicine has progressed since the 19th Century?
