…You can be a hand bell hero?

Hand Bell Hero

The VML Agency is celebrating the holidays this year with a few rounds of Hand Bell Hero.

The game is similar to Guitar Hero, and requires you to press keyboard keys in time to the music.

There are three songs, and the controls are rather accurate, so ring in some holiday cheer, and once again become a hero.

…It’s Things Thursday: Jones Soda Holiday Packs?

Jones Soda Holiday Packs

Jones Soda is known for the Turkey and Gravy flavored soda that they put out each year around the holidays, but this year, they’re doing things a bit different, and are introducing a Christmas Pack and a Chanukah Pack to satisfy your strange soda needs.

The Christmas Pack contains Christmas Ham, Christmas Tree, Egg Nog, and Sugar Plum flavored sodas, while the Chanukah Pack contains Latke, Apple Sauce, Chocolate Coins, and Jelly Doughnut flavored sodas.

They might not be the most appetizing sounding sodas, but you’ve got to try everything once, right?

…It’s Things Thursday: Neiman Marcus Christmas Book?

Neiman Marcus 100 Anniversary Edition Christmas BookIt is Thanksgiving, so I am going to spend some quality time with the family today instead of updating DYH (Plus, you should be spending some quality time with your family today as well instead of reading DYH!) but it is also Thursday, so I do want to at least leave you with something to check out for Things Thursday.

Thus, if you’re already starting to think about what to get those special someones for the holidays, then be sure to check out Neiman Marcus’s Christmas Book.

This year marks their 100th anniversary of the Christmas Book, and The 100 Anniversary Edition is filled with as much gift giving cheer as ever.

Plus, their Fantasy Gifts section is, as always, filled with the gifts that dreams are made of.

From NM edition Lexus IS Fs to personal submarines to classical concerts to an entire rocket racing league franchise, it’s a millionaire’s playground, and you’re invited to take a peak.

Don’t have a seven figure budget?

Don’t worry, the Christmas Book is filled with plenty of gifts for the normal gift giver as well; but it is fun to dream…

…Buy Nothing Day is replacing Black Friday?

Buy Nothing Day

For many, the day after Thanksgiving (Black Friday) is a day of shopping and deal hunting that starts early and usually ends frustratingly. For some, Black Friday has turned into a symbol of our excessive consumption and a day of consumerism that that goes against the true meaning of the holiday season. Buy Nothing Day was started by that second group to bring awareness to the people about their excessive spending. An informal protest against consumerism, Buy Nothing Day encourages participants to buy nothing for 24 hours during the normally busy shopping day that follows Thanksgiving. So if you feel that the holidays have lost that holiday spirit, do a little slacktivism and buy nothing on Black Friday, your wallet will thank you.
