Joy to the World! Jonathan Cantu, 39, and Charles J. Kern, 50, each feeling
slighted at the other's Christmas gift, smacked each other over the head with
flowerpots and were hospitalized (San Rafael, Calif.). And Brandi Nicole Nason,
20, also dissatisfied with a gift, allegedly tossed a Molotov cocktail into her
ex-mother-in-law's house, causing $200,000 in damage (Hermosa Beach, Calif.).
And a woman was arrested for beating a man with a Christmas tree after he
complained that the gifts he was carrying were heavier than the tree that she
was carrying (Victoria, British Columbia). And after Donna Simmons-Groover won
her apartment complex's Christmas-lights competition, a losing neighbor ripped
out part of her display in a rage (Jensen Beach, Fla.). [San Francisco
