Big Love returns to HBO Jan. 10. To get you through the long holiday wait until then, Roman Grant and his wives prepared you the above video Christmas card. An album of eight songs, A Juniper Creek Christmas, is available for download from hbo.com. No, seriously, it is.

The latest casualty of the Great Soap-Opera Die-Off was named yesterday: CBS’s As the World Turns.
