Christmas must bring out the best in blogger/writers, too. I had to link to a few posts that I found while navigating the blogosphere tonight.

The Anchoress writes In the Spirit of Christmas:A Letter to Maureen Dowd–powerful stuff.
Bob Smietana at god-of -small-things has a post about people who walked across or around the United States. A Walk Across America by Peter Jenkins is one of my favorite books, so I found this post fascinating, too.
Several bloggers, including Jollyblogger, linked to this bit of satire by Joe Carter at Evangelical Outpost: She’s Having a Fetus.
