The idea that Santa, a man with a bulbous belly full of milk and cookies, can slide down a chimney might seem preposterous to the average human. But to a contortionist, even the tightest of squeezes is a mere challenge. To show you just how incredible Santa...
So you went a little overboard with your Christmas tree last year, huh? You were feeling extra festive, and you bought the tallest, most cumbersome pine that your local dealer had to offer. Somehow, one of the employees managed to strap it to the top of your...
You didn’t really have to go to the bathroom — that was just an excuse. In reality, you just couldn’t take any more of your family: the nagging from the kids, the stomach-tightening political arguments, the same old stupid stories, and everything else that makes you want...
There you are, sitting in a metal tube flying high above the Earth at 34,000 feet, and only one hour to go before the captain announces it’s time to put your tray tables and seat backs in their fully upright and locked positions, and prepare for landing....
You spent last Christmas lodging with family, gobbling their ham and guzzling their beer, so it makes sense that you felt compelled to return the favor this year. Now, these relatives — whether your own or ones you acquired upon marriage — are nice and all, but...
Having to crash with in-laws (or anyone else) over the holidays can put just about anyone on edge. Besides them being at least some kind of crazy, the nagging feeling that you could be overstaying your welcome, draining their fridge or just plain getting in the way...

Lounge season has begun: The days are shorter, the weather is cooler, the upcoming holidays provide a steady supply of sustenance. Therefore, I deem this time of year the ultimate time for lounging on the couch in a comfortable robe, pouring eggnog mixed with Halloween candy into...
Everyone’s got that one man in their life: Well-groomed, decent style, no major red flags, and yet, there’s something that’s holding them back from putting it all together — or, better put, a lack of something. He doesn’t smell. No, I don’t mean “smell” like what a...
One of our greatest collective aspirations is achieving the appearance of eternal youth. Our depleted wallets, brimming bathroom cabinets and Botoxed foreheads are just a few testaments to that — the global anti-aging market is predicted to exceed more than $271 billion within the next five years....
