Happy holidays, y'all!

I'm headed out of town today to proudly represent Memphis on the roller derby track (and the ice skating rink) in Colorado, so posting will be light in the first half of next week.

If you're feeling so inclined (or have a little time) catch up on some recent stories you may have missed:

- Finish up your shopping with the 2011 Holiday Gift Guide or do a little bit of good with the annual Charitable Gift Guide.

- Find plenty to do with your family on the Holiday Events Guide.

- Take a rare trip inside the Sears Crosstown building.

- Get prepared for Oscar season by seeing a movie at the newly renovated Ridgeway Four.

- Sample one of everything from the new Eighty3 menu.

- Find out what makes Memphians tick with the "You're So Memphis" list.

- Bring some friends and snack on traditional dim sum in the suburbs.

Have a great time, be good and I'll see you when I get back next week.
