For those of you who aren't me…and I've noticed a surprisingly large number of people who aren't.
My friend Bob once told me that he had the prospicience, that his fulsome bonhomie campanology personalia would be a schwag, or lagniappe, to depute among his janissary of hyperborean hobbledehoys in the sodality. I indited a message saying he should stop this farrago and embrace lagom. As an example, I used an aphyllous tree, …
Have you noticed how amazingly fast Christmas disappears? It’s true. The local radio station, and every store has been playing holiday tunes for months and you were about to go crazy. Then two days later when you finally have your holiday party, and you ask for just one Christmas tune to liven things up they’re …

Excuse me, but how does that great old Christmas song go? Oh yes, I remember it. It’s that time of year when the world falls… for the biggest scam of them all. We’ve done it for years, and you’d think we would learn, but we love the scam. We don’t care that we’re being scammed. …

I’m not sure why the great Abraham Lincoln established a national holiday dedicated to overeating and football, but there …

Deck the halls and make merry. Tis the season to celebrate the wearing of ugly sweaters. Yes, late December has arrived and once again it has brought along with it the sticky gooey eggnogs and the lies to our children. Oh, I’m not talking about the Santa Claus myth. I believe in Santa completely. I’ve …
I was listening to the radio last week or so and a delightful, heartwarming story came on. The host was asking folks when the Christmas season starts for them.
