On that bowling note, the day after Thanksgiving we went bowling  and I rolled a Turkey.  Some of you regular bowlers probably are saying BFG, but I was well-chuffed with that and let everyone know about it.

Oh, joy, a Christmas party at work.  I'm so not looking forward to it.  I'm not a social guy save for the group of friends I have so this will be awkward.  I might luck out if I talk to a co-worker more about wrestling.  Guy grew up in North Carolina and saw the shows in the 80s, so he knows all about Fiair and the NWA guys.  That'd be something.  Another guy watches WWE Network and saw NXT.  It'd be cool if I talked with them about it.  But the likely scenario is they'll be busy talking everything else with others.  Oh, well.

Got a $200 check from my rich aunt & uncle. Was cool and all, but I sorta felt like I'd outgrown Christmas checks from family, plus I'm doing alright for money right now, so I spent $50 on a box set of blu rays of the TV show that is their current major source of income, and donated the rest to St. Jude's.

Man, I don't know what this channel is or if it's syndicated around the country, cause I'm staying with relatives for the holiday, but if you're anywhere near a station called WTSP in Tampa, TURN IT ON!  They're doing a marathon of Christmas episodes from

 

SANFORD AND SON

GOOD TIMES

MAUDE

BARNEY MILLER

DIFFERENT STROKES

THE JEFFERSONS

THREE'S COMPANY

TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT

ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS

MR. ED

 

Right now Fred Sanford is being visited by the Christmas Carol ghosts.  Line of the Ep.  When Lamont's Sketchy friend Rollo tried to give Fred a present:

 

"I don't want it.  It'll set my tree on fire it's so hot."

 

"Come on, man.  I got this present for you!"

 

 

"I don't want your present, you don't need your past, and nobody wants anything to do with your future."

 

note: That one guy who went from being an orderly to a medical student on ST. ELSEWHERE is playing the Bob Cratchit role as a poor kid Fred is working to death for a few bucks on Christmas.

THIS MAY BE THE NOG TALKING ABUT JAMES GREGORY IS THE FUNNIEST MN WHAT EVER LIVED!!!!  WE DONT" SEEM TO HAVE A JAEMS GREGORY THREAD SO I JUSTS PUT THIS HEER!

He performs somewhere around my town about once a week, it seems. Buddy of mine who's emceed his shows in the past said he's a nice dude, and that makes it impossible to hate his comedy.

 

I gotta work today and it's gonna be balls to the wall. I don't care about missing family, but I'm gonna miss the NBA. Christmas is a bigger holiday for that than it is for family.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!!!!  (Said in my best Jimmy Stewart voice)

 

I bring you the best Christmas song ever made to cheer you up...

 

If Snoopy and the Red Baron can share some egg nog on this special day, than I just want to wish everyone here, even the resident Stalinists, gun grabbers, statists, and Manchester United fans a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.  ;)

 

Be safe and enjoy your holidays.

I'm having major Christmas regrets. I found much better gifts for my family the day after Christmas. Plus, I made the choice to redecorate my entire place after Christmas, so I should have just asked for gift cards to Etsy. Would have quicked up the process by a few weeks, rather than slowly buying stuff every week when I get paid.

I got to have my girls sleep over on Christmas Eve, meaning they spent Christmas morning with me (we alternate each year), but  that mean that the girls ended up ping-ponging between us for four straight days: arrived at my placed at noon on the 24th, picked up by their mom at noon on the 25th, back at my place at noon on the 26th, and ultimately picked up again on the 27th at 2pm. As you can imagine, they were a little pissy by the end of it.

 

This is my year to have them for New Year's Eve but I passed because I'll get time-and-a-half to work until 2am, and get paid cash to be part of the annual Murder Mystery at the casino. So a regular $80 day is worth about $250 to me.  It did lead my youngest to ask "Do you care more about money than your family?" which is a funny thing for a seven year-old to think, isn't it? Crazy how she just comes up with shit like that on her own...

Mileage can vary depending on her mood, but whenever my daughter asks things like that, I deadpan, "Of course I do," and she gets caught up with a case of the giggles.  Kids, man.
