Here is the news (well, some of it):
Santa 's helicopter comes under anti-aircraft fire (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/12/19/wsanta119.xml) in Rio de Janeiro airspace (from gangsters, who thought he was with the police).
Bulgarian army officer arrested for smuggling stolen tanks out of the country (http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_2644863.html?menu=) — it appears he was only caught the second time he did it.
Baby has two dead semi-developed siblings surgically removed from abdomen (http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/articles/2007/12/11/1197135456156.html) — obligatory grand guignol bit (thank you, Warren Ellis).
Paris Hilton in smurf swearing shocker (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/12/19/hilton_smurf_incident/) — well what do you think this is about?
Army bomb disposal officers called in to defuse Christmas crackers (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=500875&in_page_id=1770) — why can't they do what everyone else does and just shoot their SA-80s in the air?
FCC votes to allow TV channel operators to own newspapers (http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,,-7162651,00.html) — which will make the Murdoch family very happy, and help ensure that in future all your news coverage will be as relevant as this!
Toot toot!
