Call me a Luddite (I might take that as a complement) but this report in the NYTimes makes me sad. Western civilization has trashed every place it has colonized so far, and I grieve to think of trashing the moon too:
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4 — NASA announced plans on Monday for a permanent base on the Moon, to be started soon after astronauts return there around 2020.
The agency’s deputy administrator, Shana Dale, said the United States would develop rockets and spacecraft to get people to the Moon and establish a rudimentary base. There, other countries and commercial enterprises could expand the outpost to develop scientific and other interests, Ms. Dale said.

So today I click through and what do I find but a sort of mad Advent Calendar of Billy-type goodies.
Including this Frosty the Snowman:
Got a Christmas goody to share with Billy? Submission guidelines here.
