It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year...
If you survive it:
Christmas is the deadliest day of the year for Americans with 12.4 percent more deaths than normal, researchers said on Monday.
More Americans die from heart attacks and other natural causes on Christmas, the day after and on New Year's Day than on any other days of the year, the researchers reported.
It is probably because people are feeling too busy or too festive to go to the hospital over the winter holiday season, the researchers wrote in Monday's issue of the journal Circulation.
Atheists would rejoice, except that rejoicing seems to be the problem. No matter - they couldn't take way the Super Bowl, and they will have to pry my Christmas egg nog from my cold, dead hands. (Which, I supose, is the bet they are making. Troubling...)
Why does this remind me of the "study" a few years ago that concluded that more women are killed/battered on Super Bowl Sunday?

Good point, inspiring a modest revision.

Why does the GD media delight so much in attempts to shock with bullshit like this... F***in' razors in Apples, indeed... Aren't you tired of the F***in' media's scare tactics?
