Lesson #1612 - Christmas Folklore

This is likely the last big chalkboard STW lesson for the year; mini-chalkboard lessons will proceed daily as usual until I make it back to my office. So if you find yourself in front of a computer in a nog-addled state, well, STW will still be here for you. Even if you can't see well enough to read it anymore.
