Deck Them Halls...... IT'S OVER

[Ralphie is visiting Santa at the department store, only he can't remember what he wanted] Santa Claus: How about a nice football?
Ralphie as Adult: [narrating] Football? Football? What's a football?
Santa Claus: Okay, get him out of here.
Ralphie as Adult: [narrating] A football? Oh no, what was I doing? Wake up, Stupid! Wake up! Ralphie: [Ralphie is shoved down the slide, but he stops himself and climbs back up] No! No! I want an Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle!
Santa Claus: You'll shoot your eye out, kid.
Memorable Quotes from A Christmas Story (1983)

yes the holiday season is over and everyone is back to being miserable again, so it's time to answer the age old question when is it time to take down the Christmas lights... Now if your like me you waited until the last minute and had to be shamed into doing it... To let my secret be told my display actually takes little effort and planning (for those catty asshole neighbor's who spend the entire year pondering a theme). I go to the HOME DEPOT and buy as many $1.99 lights I can fit in my truck and staple it to the front of the house..Taa-Daa.. When spring hits I grab one strand and run down the street until the house is clean... sure the wood has more staples than a Bronx telephone pole but it keeps away those pesky "End Of The World" jesus types.

Happy New Year... Now Piss Off....

HOLIDAY LEFTOVERS........

Charlie Brown: We've got ANOTHER holiday to worry about. It seems Thanksgiving Day is upon us.
Sally Brown: I haven't even finished eating all of my Halloween candy.

Memorable Quotes from A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving (1973) (TV)

I don't know about you'se guys but sometimes the leftovers are the best part of the holiday meal, all the essence and flava comes to a peak.. and if you can scam good enough (hit mulitple houses on the same holiday) you have enough food to eat for weeks and nothing to clean up.... and if your really clever you can make off with some heavy duty Tupperware...... Not that I condone any of that behavior... Bloody savages.. Anyway my deepest appreciation goes to all those dear loved ones who have stood by me (literally) and tolerated all my madcap schemes.... ***Trivia*** One year ago last Thanksgiving these same exact feet were assembled in the same exact order and I must say in my opinion they have only gotten better with age...
