[December 11th, 2002] The thin line between real life and reality television is gone. Our daily routines are nothing more than fodder for sitcoms.

We are the f***ing Osbournes.

In honor of that fact, we have gathered 'round the tree our own version of today's nuclear family à la Ozzy, Sharon and the rest of the brooding brood. Showcasing the latest in holiday fashions, our fashion gift guide trots out everything from face-mask sweaters (for Cousin It) to elegant tuxedos (for your pets).

And no reality show would be complete without a special appearance by local celebs, you'll find late-night TV's very own Tom Peterson, and Gloria, too!

Stay tuned to the gift guides...next week we wrap this sucker up with our cheat sheet for cheap gifts.

Happy Holidays,
Byron Beck
