The attempt to determine a candy hierarchy.
As I was headed home from work Wednesday night (Halloween night) I was flipping through the dials when I came across music I couldn’t believe: Christmas music
Folks… seriously. I love Christmas as much as anyone I know, but it wasn’t even November yet.
Needless to say (if you know the ‘Christmas rules’ I choose to live by) I changed the station immediately. I don’t condone listening to Christmas music this early in the season, but you’re free to do as you please. I would tell you about the free online sources where you can listen to all types a Christmas music streaming 24 hours a day across the web… but we’d feel like we were telling you not to have sex before marriage only to give you a box of condoms.
Here’s a video from our boy Kige Ramsey, YouTube personality, who shares our thoughts on this issue. We agree Kige… we agree.
(On another note: Yes, you will still find a permanent link on this page to live, free, online streaming Christmas music the weekend after Thanksgiving.
On another, nother note: Christmas is close.
On yet another note: Jesus was the first Christmas gift. When you hear this in church… remember to nod your head as if it’s the first time you’ve heard it.)
We hope your pumpkin is carved and your candy bowl is ready by the front door.
To the right is a picture from 19(80-something) when yours truly went dressed as a ferocious Mississippi College football player. (Please note the ‘Mississippi College 20??’) Ahhh, the days of trick-or-treating are gone… oh crap, some of you people have kids, don’t you? Well, personally we can’t wait for the day to dress our kid up like a pumpkin, drag him door to door, then put him to bed only to stay up watching Conan while we pick out the Snickers and throw away the Bottlecaps.
Being that it’s Wednesday, we’re not quite sure how much “party-ing” will go on in anyone’s neck of the woods. However, should you chose to throw on a Tinkerbell costume or or slap on a baseball cap and claim to be a “major leaguer”, we hope that receive you lots of treats and little tricks (I hate that phrase).
We also remind you to remember the line from the teen classic, Mean Girls:
-
“Halloween is the one night a year when girls can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it.”
- Cady Heron
…be careful… and don’t be sluts.
Here’s the opening theme from an old program which Aaron and I would drop our trick-or-treating bags in order to come home and watch. It’s nothing special, but I hope you remember it.
I’ll trade you my Bottlecaps for all of your Milk Duds.
With this being the big weekend leading up to Halloween…
Question:
-
What did you (or, what are you planning to) dress up as?
I love these old school commercials… and those pails.
You have to look closely at the rocking chair. It slowly begins to rock… then you see something.
