via BuzzFeed

By Helen A.S. Popkin

Our pre-caffeine roundup is a collection of the hottest, strangest, and most amusing stories of the morning. Here's everything that you need to know before taking that first sip of coffee today:?

While Christmas may be over, the fuzzy-wuzzy feelings we got as we watched our loved ones joyfully unwrap carefully selected presents will last well into the next year. Unless, of course, our loved ones happen to be ungrateful brats.

Never thought you'd see Kim Kardashian and Steve Jobs linked in any way??The two, along with the Occupy movement, the royal wedding and Japan's tsunami tragedy, are among the most "stumbled upon" searches and links of 2011.

Vietnam may block its citizens from using Facebook, but that didn't stop website founder Mark Zuckerberg from vacationing in the communist country.

Meanwhile, taking advantage of the resurgence of the Muppets, which another generation is blessed to know thanks to a new movie, Google has cast them into a new ad for Google+, and it's the best argument for Hangouts yet.

In the old, unconnected days, it could be hard to mobilize a massive movement against a company that provided bad customer service. In the Internet age, however, a single email can help lead an entire community of gamers to mobilize against a rude marketer in just a matter of hours. Check it out!

Speaking of games, a?new policy taking effect Jan. 1 will remove ?gun-like? items from Microsoft?sXbox Live Avatar Marketplace, the?online store?where gamers can buy items to dress up and accessorize their avatars.

YouTube's new "Slam" game forces videos to battle for votes. Fun!

The Go Daddy boycott and "dump day" were organized by users of social news site? Reddit, who also set up a boycott site.

In closing, I don't know why this Joker baby doll exists or why you haven't bought it for me, but it totes looks like that kid from "Pet Sementary."?
