Good afternoon! The holidays are usually a time with an abundance of emotionally charged stories - such as the story of the child who died in the arms of Santa Claus, posted earlier this week. Well, now the paper is suggesting it might all be a fake. The only thing missing from a terrible 2016 was a story about Santa Claus lying about a dying child, writes MPR News blogger Bob Collins. | NewsCut | Forecast

Good afternoon! You've heard it before: "I could eat you up!" "I want to pinch those cheeks!" "I just want to give that puppy a squeeze!" - Why so violent? The same psychology that explains this "cute aggression" also explains why we cry when we're happy. | Brains On! | Forecast

MPR News Update for Dec. 14

Good morning! Partly cloudy and breezy, with patchy blowing snow. Highs between minus 5 and 5. A wind chill advisory is in effect tonight into Thursday morning. A winter storm watch has also been issued south Friday afternoon through Saturday morning. This just in from the "Department of 'Come on, Man!'": After a fire displaced residents of a four-unit apartment building in Hibbing, someone broke in and stole the Christmas presents under the tree of one of the families. You're a mean one, thief. | Forecast | Updraft weather blog

Good afternoon! It could have been a cringe worthy moment when Patti Smith lost the words at the weekend Nobel Prize gala honoring Bob Dylan, but it turned out to be a rather perfect moment of grace. Her audience lifted her back up. There's a metaphor there somewhere. | NewsCut | Forecast

Good afternoon! It's easy, today, to think of the space programs as normal, but not so long ago, piercing the heavens atop a repurposed nuclear bomb delivery system was the thrilling, risky stuff of science fiction. When human exploration of space was just beginning astronauts, scientists and engineers used the most advanced - and destructive - weapons systems around to push the boundaries of where humans could go. | Science | Forecast
