    isitchristmas com

    This website is pretty selfexplanatory since all you get here is what you ask for. Is it Christmas? This website will give you a plain answer, a big fat no, except, of course, if you check it on December 25th. It is ideal for anyone with Alzheimers disease, no calendar on his laptop or in his house, and all the anxious peeps who cant wait to see Santa climbing down their chimney once again. Umm, not.
