staff:

If you’re like me and use the Gregorian calendar for your date-keeping needs, then you probably woke up this morning and exclaimed “Holy crap, it’s December already!” Strange but true!

For me personally, this date marks the unofficial start of my first ever real winter. You must understand, I’ve lived my entire life in a tropical climate. I’m used to spending winter on a beach with bikini-clad women waving palm fronds in my face. Now that I’m in New York, I’ll have to settle for them using Elm branches instead. So please, keep me in your prayers.

(I’ll prepare an alternate Tumblr Tuesday for any of you in the Southern Hemisphere who are offended by the weather patterns mentioned here.)

Crappy Santas
Every year, stores around the world become littered with crappy Santas. Beard length, hat placement, belly size, and suit hue are all standards that must be enforced, and this Tumblr blog is on the lookout.

Let’s Be Glad!
We can safely listen to holiday music without retribution now, right? Whew. Let’s Be Glad! posts festive seasonal tracks performed by indie bands. (Whoa, I didn’t say “Christmas” there even once!)

Rocketboom Blog
Rocketboom needs no introduction, but you may be unfamiliar with their blog. Rocketboom Blog, meet Tumblr. Tumblr, meet Rocketboom Blog. There! Now we’re all close friends and can go to the zoo together.

One Surrealist a Day
One Surrealist a Day, which recently celebrated its one-year anniversary, curates works from the world of surrealism. It features a great theme, precise tagging, and plenty of Salvador Dalí.

Beeriety
Beer. Beer. Beer. Beer. Beer. Beer. Beer. Also: Beer.

Who do you nominate for the next Tumblr Tuesday?
