Daily Jolt -- Advent Calendar Special

Each day, a special Advent-themed Daily Jolt, with an opportunity for reflection and a microChallenge. Some of the reflections come from unlikely sources, and the challenges help you to take an action, usually a small one, based on the reflection.

December 24th, 2012I prefer the retro chic of spending Christmas just like Mary and Joseph did — traveling arduously back to the place of your birth to be counted, with no guarantee of a bed when you get there. You may end up sleeping on an old wicker couch with a dog licking your face while an Ab Rocket infomercial plays in the background. It’s a modern-day manger. — Tina Fey

Practice extreme patience with your relatives this Christmas. Call a family member with whom you have trouble being patient and wish them a Merry Christmas.
