... And to all a good night. See you in 2009!

One of several delightful, gay-themed holiday cards available at Handsome Devil Press 

Well, the time has come for the nice men in white coats the holidays to whisk us away in the hopes of clearing our mental caches of old episodes of Brothers & Sisters and the bodies of countless fallen reality contestants to make room for a whole new year of gay entertainment news.

We'll be back and in full swing on Monday, January 5th with all the gay pop culture goodness that we can throw at you, but in the meantime I'll leave you with a handy listing below of our big year-end pieces and holiday features to keep you company while we're off.

Please feel free to keep the conversation rolling while we're drowning ourselves in nog over in the forums!

And on a personal note, let me say real quick that while this year has had its share of ups and downs for all of us, it's always a pleasure hanging with you folks. Thanks for your time and support and a happy and safe holiday season to all of you. Bye!
