The Nontheist Nexus has released their twelfth and final issue of the Nexus Zine in its current format. Fortunately, they are not going away, and will be releasing content more frequently rather than saving it up and for a monthly zine.

This month largely focuses on Christmas, with several pieces by 19th century political leader, orator and free thinker Robert Ingersoll, along with an amusing account of a Christmas pageant performance and a somewhat disturbing interview with Santa.

Octavia also brings us a little dose of reality in the form of an article entitled Plant Talk: Seeding the Future.

As much as many of us would like to lose ourselves in our own happy little worlds for the holiday season, we must not forget that the world continues around us, and the problems we had in November are still with us, as urgently in need of attention this month as any other.
