Here’s an idea for those of you with small children: Gift wrap loads of empty boxes and put them under the tree. Every time the kids misbehave, throw one of the boxes into the fireplace.
This will teach them the true meaning of this blessed season: fear and manipulation.

Another prank. Make a fake cheap gift (e.g. cardboard box filled with cotton), put it in a bag with the Goop logo, and wrap it as a Christmas gift. So when the person unwraps it and sees the Goop bag he or she will just scream "Nooo!" and toss it into the fireplace without looking in the bag, and you will say "But I spent hundreds of dollars on this thing" and they will feel like they owe you for the money you supposedly spent on them.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

And another (not just for Christmas, though). If you have cats (if you don't, you should get some), the next time you clean the litterbox, put the doots in one of those old Amazon boxes we all seem to hang onto for no reason. Leave it out for the porch pirates.

Technically, that's a 68.
You do me, and I owe you 1.
