I opened the mailbox today to find a bulky envelope from New Hampshire. You know what that means? It’s Christmas time again!

Every year around Christmas I get a new Mark Steyn Christmas album to help make the season jolly, and he didn’t disappoint me this year, unlike that Santa fellow who has been letting me down ever since the famed pony incident of 1980.

Making Spirits Bright will be on my CD player this weekend while I trim the tree. Thanks Mark!

I’m a big fan of scary personal trainer Jillian Michaels, of Biggest Loser fame, which is why I got her book Unlimited: How to Build an Exceptional Life.

I will admit that I was really frustrated in the first chapter or so, when it read just like that epic piece of drivel from a few years back, The Secret. Alas, due to my hero worship, I soldiered on and was glad. The chapter on forgiving yourself and others… Wow.

I’m not really capable of forgiving. I understand the theory behind it, but the mechanics of it escape me. So her chapter on it really resonated.

The book itself is about getting over your shit and empowering yourself to do better in life. But thankfully, it’s nothing like The Secret - you don’t just wish things into being. It always amazed me just how many lefty anti-god types swallowed The Secret, but would never be caught dead praying.

So here’s what I’m manifesting from Unlimited: I’m putting up links to my Amazon account here in this post, helping my readers to log on and do their Christmas shopping. In return, Amazon will thank me with gift cards for books that I wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford. It’s a win-win!
