'Twas the night before Christmas --

Baby Jesus has a GPS tracker. Someone stole the old baby Jesus from the nativity scene in Bal Harbor, Florida. So the new Jesus wears a Lojac. Mary and Joseph are also chipped.

Here are some last minute gift ideas from USA Today.
  • Christmas action figures from Wal-Mart
  • David, Goliath, Sampson and Moses dolls
  • Jesus air fresheners

But as you shop, beware of shopdropping. That's when artists drop phony goods on store shelves and then film shoppers who want to buy the stuff. Stuff like --

  • Anti-Christ action figures with gas mask, bolt cutters and Molotov cocktails.
  • Bibles in a bookstore's fantasy/science fiction section.
  • Karl Marx T-shirts that say, "Peace on Earth. After we overthrow capitalism."

Here's the Christmas dinner menu from the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAllester --

  • Smoked ham with pineapple glaze
  • Sweet potatoes
  • Buttered corn
  • Broccoli rice cheese casserole
  • Dinner rolls
  • Christmas cake or peach cobbler

Mars will rise in the east extra bright tonight because it's close to the Earth and opposite the sun.

-- And to all a good night.
