Late December is not only the time for grading and holidays, it is also the time to repost things that were written long ago as an alternative to writing something new when busy with grading and holidays. (Alternatively, one might also post old things by others!) In keeping with this tradition and the approach of Christmas, here are some Christmas-themed posts from the past:
2015: Life after murder for Kevin Mcallister
2015: ELF ON THE SHELF!
2015: Preferred pronouns on the shelf
2014: Christmas as social control

2012: Kevin McCallister, murderer?
2012: Toys for rich and poor
2012: Toys for boys and girls
