10 Christmas Day Reads
Today's Christmas gift from "The Big Picture" courtesy of Barry Ritholtz, a curious form of holiday cheer from Wall Street, but definitely not without its element of humor. Especially witty is The Atlantic Monthly article about an "un-miracle" that occurred in real life in Oak Park Illinois on Christmas in 1954. Cheers to one and all!
