There’s just a few days left to complete your shopping or make a gift; now it’s time to think about the actual feast and festivities. So put aside silly notions of calories (that’s for later) and dig into these recipes for Christmas pudding, hot winter soup, “cookie bark” (huh?), and a whole lot more: Once the pots have been washed and it’s time to kick back and finally relax, don’t settle for the same ol’ holiday tunes. Embrace the DIY spirit and play your own. These videos will teach you how to do just that on instruments like the guitar, harmonica, and piano: We’re going to sign off for a few days to spend time with friends and family and to try out some of Todd Oldham’s favorite user-generated gift-making videos - but we’ll be back before the ball drops. Have a good one, Sadia H. aka Sublinx YouTube HowTo & Style

The New York Anime Festival on YouTube
Anime may have its roots in Japanese pop-culture, but it has undoubtedly developed into a worldwide phenomenon. Indeed, Naruto and Pokemon have become part of our global lexicon. Accordingly, the company behind New York Comic Con has now created a festival devoted entirely to anime: The New York Anime Festival, featuring exclusive anime screenings, manga, cosplay, video games, live-action Japanese cinema, Japanese fashion and food. If you weren’t in New York last week to catch the festivities, have no fear IFCNews is bringing the festival to you. Check out the film & Animation page for your anime update! Still not hip to the anime phenomenon? Check out some of these videos from YouTube partners and you will be. Enjoy the fest, Sara P. aka TheStoryBoard YouTube film
