Brace yourselves: Black Friday is coming.

Ozzy has promised a new Christmas project for years. One problem: His Wife. Sharon thinks it's a silly idea and makes her husband look more like a cartoon character than he already is. Plus, with the new Black Sabbath project off the ground, the last thong she wants is Ozzy's image blurred with Christmas music...

Of all the bands that you would think of doing a Christmas project, Van Halen wouldn't be one of them. But for years, Diamond Dave has wanted to do a holiday song and he may finally get his way. Seems that Eddie is starting to warm up to the idea, thinking it could be good for some buzz and it wouldn't have to be a full album, just a song, maybe a remake, maybe an original...

This popular holiday drink is traditionally made by combining raw eggs, rum and dairy and leaving it all in the fridge for up to six weeks. We basically drink our weight in the stuff every December -- how on earth have we managed to avoid being sick all this time?

The Christmas comedy 'Elf' is about one of Santa's little helpers who learns that he is really human and then leaves the North Pole to seek out his birth family. The film starred the long-limbed cut-up Will Ferrell as the "elf" in question, and became a huge holiday hit in 2003.
