For those of you who aren't me…and I've noticed a surprisingly large number of people who aren't.
I Believe “Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.” If you don’t understand what this refers to, then I want to shake your hand. Because where I live the ubiquitous, THEY beat us over the head with the sappy holiday story over and over. I’ll give it a quick once-over for all of you to …

I'm Sorry Well, another Holiday season has come and gone, and frankly I’m feeling a bit guilty. Sorry to say, but I did very little that was requested of me. For instance, Maria Carey has been screaming, “All I want for Christmas is you” for thirty years now, and I never showed up. Hey, she …

A leg up Some of you may know I recently damaged my leg. If you didn’t, you do now. Let’s move on. This week, I had my last doctor’s appointment. She said it was my last, but I’m betting I’ll be in her office again. You see I do stupid things, and she’s the doctor …

Traditionally I... The holiday season is about traditions. One of my traditions is that I never kill my children, pets, or anyone else for that matter, during holiday time.

My Grandparents tradition My grandparents had a seven-foot, aluminum foil, Christmas tree every year. It stood on a base that spun it around. On it hung blue and green balls, nothing else. Above it was a yellow light and below was a spinning thing that changed the floodlight illuminating it from red to blue to …

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 would like to take a moment of silence for the forgotten holiday in the United States. I’d like to, but I forgot about it. Not really but it sounded good. The forgotten holiday is Thanksgiving.
