Xmas miracle.

And there was in that country, a couple abiding in the lower apartment, keeping watch over their steadily dropping thermostat by night. And, lo, their landlady came home in the morn and their breath misted about them and they were sore cold. And the landlady said unto them, "Fear not, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to you people. For unto you is brought this day in the city of Buffalo a savior, which is Gary the Grumpy Plumber. And this shall be a sign unto you: you shall find your new thermostat wrapped in clear plastic, lying with it's instructions. And it will be digital. " And suddenly, there was with the couple a tingling in the fingers and toes and the sweet warmth of praise welled within them. And they said, "Glory to Gary the Grumpy and peace to his Apprentice Bob who looks kindof like Seth from the OC and who one of us has a middling crush on."
And it came to be, as the landlady went off to work, that the couple said to one another, "Let us have our relatives come stay with us for the holidays and see this thing which is come to pass." And the relatives came with haste for this uncanny good cheer was not to be squandered.
