Holiday Textfiles
These are textfiles that are attached to certain holidays. It's kind of
annoying to see files about subjects that don't represent year-round
types of subjects, so they're all lumped in here. The majority of the
files here are currently Christmas files.
An exception is the <A HREF="/occult"><B>Occult</B></A> section, which
is loaded with Halloween stuff but it doesn't seem as clear to split the
specific holiday stuff from and put here.
Interestingly enough, the most popular files are parodies of the
time-honored poem "A visit from Saint Nicholas". Something about that
particular poem (the idea that Santa's breaking into the house, the
glimpse you get of him before he cuts out of town) inspires generations
of geeks and self-styled humorists to make new, alternate versions.
