To the younger First Things readers, especially the men: If you are tempted to get your wife, or fiancée, or girlfriend something “practical” for Christmas, you probably should pause and take a look at this rather funny video on how to stay out of the doghouse.

While we’re contemplating life in the doghouse, treat yourself to Hank William’s classic , “Move It On Over” or try the blues-rock cover by the indefatigable George Thorogood and the Destroyers, justifiably called “the greatest bar band in the world.”
