At the laundomat tonight, the news comes on the teevee, and I overhear "Cheney" and "indictment" and "CIA operative" and I run over to the teevee to join a middle aged woman who is also watching the news, and I bellow excitedly, "Is it Fitzmas?! Is it Fitzmas?!" completely forgetting that I'm at the laundromat--not exactly the epicenter of blogsphere in-jokes--but before I can explain or change my question to something more middle-aged-lady-at-the-laundromat appropriate, she answers in a thick polish accent:
"No. We do not get Fitzmas to-day. But I think tomorrow, perhaps."

You can poant a big wet one on her then. What a great day. I hope you had a fabulous Fitzmas celebration. I'm still feeling the effect of three large steins of good german beer.
