The Gray Lady has a list of questions members of a couple should ask each other before marriage. It reminds me of the list I use with couples I marry . . . but this one is better.
“Questions Couples Should Ask (Or Wish They Had) Before Marrying” (New York Times 17 December 2006)

When the inclination at Christmas is more, more, more realizing you already have what you need can be a great relief, economically and emotionally. Hubby and I didn’t get any new Christmas ornaments or decorations this year. What we have, we like. Well-loved Christmas decor brings with it what happy associations there were in years [...]
I’ve been experimenting with text-to-voice software, useful for those with reading disabilities and tired eyes. Now imagine your computer made of polished brass, mahogany and stained glass and the following will make more sense. Really more steampunk than Church 2.0, and with a bit of whimsy, I took the idea of the electronic church one [...]
I’ve read PeaceBang’s blog and spoken to her about her morbid hard drive. Hun, I feel bad for you, but thanks for preaching the good news of backing up your data. (My hard drive is even older than hers.) I’ve backed up everything I had onto 17 CD-ROMs.
But data management is more than pushing everything [...]
We know the drill. Christmas has become an emotional, financial and spiritual drag and a political football. Some well-meaning Christians want to decamp and reinvest the Epiphany — the older Christian celebration — with spiritual value and merriment. But I’m not quite ready for that.

But there is a plug-in, which I’ve added. Oh, happy [...]

No relation to Obama-mania, but I found a Portsmouth, New Hampshire Universalist document while cleaning up gigs and gigs of stored files. From 1796, not 2006, but enjoy at my UniversalistChurch.net site –
Testimony of Belief and Fellowship in Union of the Universalist Society in Portsmouth, N.H. (1796)

So the Swedes trust IKEA more than church? (Who doesn’t? Right meatball lovers?)
Certain francophone Canadian friends clued me in — right before the Quebec City General Assembly — that all the ripe swear words there are church-related. GetReligion takes on the story (through I doubt their take the origins of American sex-related swearing.)
