The Vox Box

The Ultimate Suckish Christmas Presents

Chances the average reader is urged to come up with a Christmas list as soon as Thanksgiving ends.
So I present to you the ultimate list of Christmas gifts for friends, family, and people you don't particularly like.


1. The Slanket It looks like a fuzzy monk giving birth to a nerd in this picture. It would probably be good for going to work, shopping, and other public activities... not. There is no reason anyone should wear one of these.




In 2006, then-editor Steve Smith of The Spokesman-Review had the idea of starting a publication for an often forgotten audience: teenagers. The Vox Box was a continuation of the Vox, an all-student staffed newspaper published by The Spokesman-Review. High school student journalists who staffed the Vox made all content decisions as they learn about the trade of journalism. This blog's mission was to give students an opportunity to publish their voices. The Vox Box and the Vox wrapped up in June 2009, but you can follow former staffers' new blog at http://voxxiez.blogspot.com.
