HAPPY HOLIDAYS (again)
So I'm sitting on the porch trying to eat all the Halloween candy before the little monsters start their march when it dawns on me; Somehow they suckered me into buying twenty bucks of candy to just give away. How does that happen every year? A kid throws a pillow case over his head and I'm suppose to reward him for that? That's when it hit me. Why not have an exchange policy? You bring me a handful of dead leaves that have fallen from the large tree in my front yard and I'll give you a tiny Snickers bar. You wash the car in the driveway and I'll give you two tiny Snickers bars. Hell paint the front of the house and I'll give you the whole damn bowl. But noooo. Everybody wants something for nothing. Well that isn't the can do attude that made this country great. That's not how we won WWII. No now we have to give it away. Free halloween candy. Come over to the house for a free turkey dinner. Don't forget to comeback in December for more free food and you know just to top it off why don't we throw in free merchandise. In fact I'll wrap them in bright colorful paper just to surprise you with them. I guess I'm just alittle pissed off that it's the HOLIDAY season AGAIN. It seems like just yesterday I went through all of this. Quick tell me what I gave you last year. I didn't think you'd remember. Thank God for football. Turn on a good game and you can become a TV zombie for three hours. You won't even notice when the wife or kids grabs your wallet out of your pocket for more money. Wanna know when I finally get into the holiday spirit? January 2nd. And by the way I gave you socks.
