Happy Festivus everyone!  I hope you’re spending some quality time with your family, gathered around the aluminum pole and airing your grievances.  That’s what the Holidays are all about.

For anyone out there who’s ever wondered how to get the most out of their Trade Show booth, here’s Six Helpful Tips from @Engage365, and some help on International exhibiting from @Exhibitor.  Our article on Trade Show Exhibits That Draw a Crowd is a good read too.  Do all your research now and you’ll be bucking at the gates when the new year comes around!

A film festival in Iran today celebrates women artists.  The Parvin E’Tesami Festival starts today and runs through the 26th.

Hooray, more “best of the year” lists!  Here’s one from a guy who despises the concept of lists entirely.  The season for awards shows is fast approaching, and @EbertChicago has announced his favorite flicks of the year.  And just to make you feel really small and insignificant: The Best Space Photos from 2011.

Here’s the new coolest gift of the year.
