Weird Tract Number 126: "Christmas/Xmas" by Hubert Hotchkiss

 Troy Davis writes:



This old-timey 4-paged pamphlet by Hubert Hotchkiss is one of many bemoaning the removal of "Christ" from "Christmas" and creating the supposed secular holiday Xmas. To Hotchkiss, Satan himself is behind it: "Satan's work is obvious as we notice the change from "Christmas" to Xmas. Satan has effectively hoodwinked many followers of Christ."

Museum Artifact: Mormon Temple Garments

 Troy Davis writes:

I love them.  Below is a small tag that reads "Authorized Pattern with a tiny illustration of the main Mormon Temple in Salt Lake City. This is a one-piece design and has a buttoned "crap flap" in back.

Wikipedia's entry on temple garments is comprehensive.
