"Hey folks. Eric Weiss and we're gonna jump right into the news, because I'm leaving on a jetplane tomorrow, and though I know when I'll be back again... I really have nowhere to take that joke.

School's Out For Winter!

"Dean Tick subs in Energy and Fitness. He gives the students the three-part final, including Powering a Light Bulb with their tongue. That... can't be right.

"Constant Vigilance has a written test for their final. Until the Cybermen kill the Doctor. He gets... well, better than dead, anyway. Then the Sontarans kill him again. And he gets way better. Did you know that The Doctor sleeps with a night light? Not because The Doctor is afraid of the dark, but the dark is afraid of The Doctor. Then The Master disintegrates The Doctor and most of us catch onto how flippin' fake the whole thing is. The real Doctor, radar ears intact, comes back and passes the class.

"Prophecy students turn in their final projects and listen to the guest speaker, the former anti-Christ. I prophecize that the class is over. Just call me Weiss-tradamus.

"Health gives their final presentations. Aaaaanad we are done with school for the semester.

"Except for the other parts that aren't class. Sam opens the library, just as a for instance. Lunch is served in the cafeteria. Nobody bothers.

Packing and/or Partying, Fandom High Dorms Style

"In the third floor common room, Chad is making Christmas enchiladas. Dude, where was I? Pippi and Chad compare final notes. Jude wants an enchilada onna stick. Chad makes Mac a vegan enchilada. Go Chad.

"Parker gets back to Fandom after some kind of a trip." Weiss paused for a moment. "Huh."

"Jack Harkness has conversations with Cedric, Sam Carter, River, and Cameron. No idea what they talked about, but I'm going to guess they're arranging tickets to Llamafest 2007.

"Aeryn and John talk about the Ethics final. Sources are unclear on whether the conversation ended on the ethics of gettin' sexy.

"Peter Parker and Isabel are in the Christmas spirit. They exchange gifts and stuff. Sanders stops by to mack on Isabel with some mistletoe. Note to self, acquire mistletoe. Get kisses. Bel and Isabel also exchange gifts. Isabel is really the gift-giving person, isn't she? Peter's in an elf suit. The only word for this is WTF.

"Peter Parker's Christmas spirt keeps rolling with presents for Aeryn and a gift exhange with Kawalsky.

"Dawn's being giving today, too. Molly , Bridge, and Peter Parker benefit. Dawn and I totally win at gift exchanging and magic ninjas.

"Billy tries this strange new thing called 'thinking' down by the docks. Pace yourself, dude.

It's Christmas Time with the Townies

"Lana has a pretty low-key day in the bookstore. What? No emo or overpowering waves of omgjoy? Best present ever.

"Willow is Kaylee's anti-emo brigade over at Empire Records. Willow wins this week's Righteous Dude award, because that just rocks.

"Aiden decorates her detective agency's office. I hate to say this, but do we really need a private investigator. Seems like the students here are pretty much all the sleuth the island can handle.

"Someone leaves Sister Rosette a Christmas present.

"Yitzhak has a theme going at Luke's Diner. And that theme is awesome.

"Jarod opens the Fourth Sin.

There's a Holiday shindig at 33 Apocalypse Avenue.

At Caritas, Mac and Cally celebrate their three month anniversary. Speaking as somebody who has a maximum relationship lifespan of six weeks, I congratulate both of you.

"The Devil's Nest offers free drinks for teachers. Not teacher's assistants, unfortunately. Or nuns.

"Well, that's all from me. Have a good holiday weekend, folks, and be sure to tip your Santas."
