How did your life collide with the headlines in 2007?
Iraq, the subprime crisis, Facebook, immigration, oil prices - 2007 had no shortage of hefty headlines. We'd like to hear about how these and other major news events of the past year affected you. Where did your life collide with the news in 2007?

What's your holiday performance story?
The office talent show, the neighborhood caroling posse, the school pageant ... At holiday time we often sing, dance, and dress as shepherds. Did you bloom in the warmth of your audience's adulation, or freeze up like the snowman you'd rather be building? Did your holiday performance change your life or that of someone close to you?

The Flufferettes
slideshow
This weekend, in Somerville, Massachusetts, a local community group is celebrating the important historical contribution of their town: Fluff. It's that marshmallowy stuff in the red, white and blue jar. Remember Peanut butter and Fluff sandwiches? Fluffernutters? Among other things, the "What the Fluff?" festival features a burlesque act called the Flufferettes. Weekend America contributor Sean Cole takes us through this and all sorts of other Fluffy stuff.
