... how everyone (including me!) wants a disputed island for Christmas.
Forget the latest X Box or the iPad Mini or the Google Glass or the Breaking Bad box set in a barrel ... the thing you want that all the cool kids have is definitely a chunk of rock in the middle of a body of water to which you and your friends and enemies can all lay claim. By the way ... I'd suggest staying away from the South China Sea (there's already more people fighting over those than Walmart shoppers willing to knife you for a TV with a $50 reduced price on a holiday), and I hear now that even the rock known as Gibraltar has multiple claimants.
Me personally, I'm thinking of heading back home to Harrisburg for the holidays to choose one of those tiny copses of trees that pop up in the Susquehanna that you can see from the riverfront park (well, so long as it's not a flooding year, that is). Update your Christmas lists ... send a revised note to Mr. Claus ... put the request in to your work secret Santa gathering ... just come join me on the bandwagon and get the hippest gift this holidays!
