I commend your taste as I really couldn't tell you how many times I've watched "Love Actually" and I save it up for Christmas time. Olivia Olson is perfect to sing it and the job she did is appreciated every single time.
My view of your taste drops in that you also had some enthusiasm for the Silas Christmas Horror Song but that enthusiasm was less than for the abusive stuff so this can't be so terrible.
Some Christmas information you may not know is that Saint Nicholas comes on December 5 in Germany. He gives gifts and sweets but it's not so easy as he brings Knecht Ruprecht with him too and he scares the bejeebers out of kids who have not been saying their prayers or so. Cat said Knecht Ruprecht is highly fearsome as she still remembers him.
The importance for Germans is this separates the gift-giving aspect from the spirituality of the event and Christmas Eve is regarded as time to reflect on the birth of Jesus.
Evolution of Eohippus (Horse) sounds very dry but it's one of the most highly-read articles on the blog. It slashes the fundamentalist view but it doesn't slash religion as a whole.
