Otis Friday - Part II

'Tis the Season

Would you say that the Halloween season is too short? I would. As for Thanksgiving, well I could do without the entire holiday. Except for a few football games, there is nothing special about Turkey Day. It really only serves as a kick-off to Christmas.

Many would argue that the Christmas season is too long and I would agree. Just last weekend while searching for the final touches to our Halloween costumes, we were thwarted by Christmas displays. Look, no one celebrates the Holidays in October. And not even in November. But I am willing to give the entire month of December to Yuletide Greetings.

This year promises to be one of the best Christmases ever for me. First of all, I don't have to work. In years past I have found myself glazing hams until St. Nick wiggles his nose. In the past I have put off shopping until the last minute not because I was lazy - but I was just too busy to get to the mall. But now I have the freedom to celebrate the Holiday Season the way I truly want. And I can buy all kinds of toys for Mo. Yeah, she needs an X-Box.

And don't forget about the holiday songs! I can't wait to be singing 'Walking in some Womens Underwear' again. Maybe I should add that to the Karaoke list?
