One Christmas was so much like another, in those years around the sea-town corner now and out of all sound except the distant speaking of the voices I sometimes hear a moment before sleep, that I can never remember whether it snowed for six days and six nights when I was twelve or whether it snowed for twelve days and twelve nights when I was six. All the Christmases roll down toward the two-tongued sea, like a cold and headlong moon bundling down the sky that was our street; and they stop at the rim of the ice-edged, fish-freezing waves, and I plunge my hands in the snow and bring out whatever I can find. |

Netflix is a holiday-season juggernaut. The Christmas Prince, The Princess Switch, Klaus—the streamer is truly a factory for feel-good Christmas stories. Piggybacking off Hallmark and Lifetime's decades of mistletoe cheesiness, Netflix created an industry of cookie-cutter rom-coms that shatter the so-bad-it's-good uncanny valley of holiday cheer. Don't know where to begin as you scroll through endless holiday titles? That's where I come in. No one knows Christmas films more than a Jewish guy who spends the entire holiday season watching movies. While everyone else wakes up early to open presents, I boot up Netflix's latest Christmas romp. Not sure what to watch? Let this list be your guide. |

When we set out to publish this special holiday edition of The Napkin Project, we knew that we didn't want to tell typical holiday stories. No treacle-y tales of family, forgiveness, and full hearts—that's not our style. And so, when we asked five tremendously talented writers to submit works of short fiction contained on cocktail napkins, we gave them this prompt: "Write a story set at an office holiday party." Corporate parties aren't the stuff of Hallmark movies or holiday literary lore, but they do make fertile ground for fiction. The proof is right here, scribbled in their own handwriting. |

Periods are normal, but kids pointing them out in their sketches is something else. Australian woman Penny Rohleder shared a photo of her son's drawing on the Facebook page of blogger Constance Hall on Jul. 25, which well, says it all. SEE ALSO: James Corden tests out gymnastics class for his son and is instantly showed up by children "I don't know whether to be proud or embarrassed that my 5 year old son knows this," Rohleder wrote. "Julian drew a family portrait. I said 'What's that red bit on me?' And he replied, real casual, 'That's your period.'" Well, at least he knows. To give further context, Rohleder revealed she had pulmonary embolism in October 2016, and was put on blood thinning treatment which makes her periods "very, very bad," she explained to the Daily Mail .

For centuries , humans have used fish oils, orally or topically, to treat a wide array of ailments, from aches and pains to rickets and gout. The popularity of this supplement has shifted over the years, as have its primary uses. But over the past couple of decades, the hype around fish oil has arguably reached an all-time high. According to National Institutes of Health statistics , in 2012, at least 18.8 million Americans used about $1.3 billion dollars worth of fish oil, making it the third most widely used supplement in the nation. (Sales reportedly flattened out at about that level around 2013.) Today, many use it because they believe it will broadly help their heart health , but others hold that fish oil can help with renal health, bone, and joint conditions, cognitive functions and mental wellness, and any number of other conditions. But is fish oil really as good for you as millions of Americans believe it is? Who should be taking it and when? We dove into the research and
