Since our Christmas-themed posts are a bit thin so far this year, here are a few topical blasts from Language Log's past:

2008: "Seven fishes"; "Happy Christmas";
2007: "One Christmas too long"; "Christmas and 'politically correct(ed)ness'", "'Tis the season", "The unkindness of strangers", "Victims and etymology", "Lexical repulsion", "Insert flap 'A' and throw away";
2006: "Merry … umm … Christmas, Will!", "Like, a Christmas gift card", "Happy tensing and coal in sex";
2005: "Christmas trees and holiday trees";
2004: "Talking animals: miracle or curse?", "A boxing day election — or not?"
2003 "'Twas the night before Christmas", "Same-sex Mrs. Santa: 'The semantics are confusing'"

    I did a posting just following this one. And on my blog: "gifting" here, and "Fronting" (in "The Little Drummer Boy") here.
