Hello, all! <\/p>\n

This year we’ve put together another month of holiday-related celebrations, Grok the Halls. You may recall our 2008 holiday effort, Jingle Bell Grok, with fondness, fear, or just plain disgust. Well, we’re at it again. Suck it up.<\/p>\n

To kick things off, I’m pleased to debut the fifth volume in my endless (and endlessly self-indulgent) holiday music mix series, The X-Mas Files<\/a>! <\/p>\n

As part of the festivities this year, we encourage you to donate a few dollars to Child’s Play<\/a>, the awesome charitable organization for gamers & geeks that helps put toys, games, and other essentials into hospitals for sick children. <\/p>\n
