The Weekender: Ho! Ho! Ho! & A Bottle Of Rum Edition

It's the eve of Christmas Eve and you good people out there reading this need to go get your shopping done. For some of you, it means you have to get it started.

Sexy Santas after the jump.

Besides, what's another few minutes of procrastination going to cost you?

As for us, we'll be in and out of it throughout the weekend.  Work will have our hands tied from Saturday on through the new year, so when you see things like "Remembering the 2000s" and "Sports Figure of the Year" in the upcoming week do not forget why.

We always appreciate what you the reader bring to this site.  Especially during the Halladay Holliday holiday season.

Oh, we've got something else coming next week.  We'll have an open thread for suggestions on how we can make the site better for 2010.  As a staff, we'll take suggestions in the comments and in our e-mail inbox.  You can also attempt to contact the editor via his e-mail.

As for the Sexy Santas ... your welcome!
