Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for November 23, 2009

Perfect! Somone in the neighborhood has his house Totally decorated outside for Christmas already…

This is a job for Ichabod Crane

I started passing out drumsticks with the Snickers bars

Well, at least it’s better than the Getmas jokes used heretofore.

(Why not “Hallowthanksmas”? Too sacred-sounding? It would be in the proper order of condensation, though.)

Just bipass the holidays and save a bundle.

Thanks Rakkav, my thought exactly. Kinda like Bosnewwash=single town all down the coast.

Oh no! Will all our days off also be condensed into a single day?

The Headless Turkey Claus! LOL!

Sorry Marg, my wife had everything up but the tree last week.

Ho ho gobble gobble …

Nah, that’s just Merv Pumpkinhead, messin’ with ya!

There ARE some advantages to being “high church”… our house lights don’t go up until the first Sunday in Advent, and we don’t sing a single Christmas carol until December 24th. It helps prevent burnout.

This promises to rival the Planet of the Donut People for pun opportunities. Donut hesitate to contribute!

You betcha!

I’m in a holidaze…

Of course you know, the black hole got started the moment they put Black Friday into the mix…

For the record, I just sit back and watch the madness go on. There are advantages to being original Church…which neither heard of nor observed nor commanded any of this.

One Of my neighbors didn’t take down their Christmas decorations til Aug

Sean, you must live down South here with me

We don’t decorate for Christmas, since we’re never home. And yet my wife insists on buying MORE Christmas decorations every year after the holiday. So this year we’ll use the decorations at Thanksgiving and invite some friends over.

I, yes I, had my decs up before ANYONE else.

I just left ‘em up from last year.

I wonder though. If you removed buying presents for each other from the equation, Would Christmas go back to being celebrated in December?

I’m going to celibrate Buy Nothing Day. In fact, I’m having a Buy Nothing Christmas. With the rotten economy, I’ll bet a lot of people will be having a Buy Nothing Christmas.

My dad wouldn’t let us play Christmas carols or light the lights until the end of Thanksgiving day parade, (Santa’s at the end!) so nobody else should get to do it before then, either… Hey, and what is the trend away from colored lights at Christmas time, to bland while lights? That doesn’t look Christmassy in the least! We see white lights all year long. Can’t we have one season with pretty colored lights?

Dracip, that’s entirely up to you. Use as many colored lights as you wish.

The first time I saw white lights used for Christmas was probably when I was in Junior High or High School, and they had decorated all the trees along Michigan Avenue in Chicago with white lights. It was very elegant.

Happy Ramahanukwanzmas, everyone!

I remember an episode of “The Weird Al Show” in which Al was throwing a party celebrating all the holidays of the year at once. One of the games was bobbing for turkeys.

Margueritem and Dracip - I guess it all depends on whether you want your decorations to be elegant, or fun. I did white lights for a while but I’m back to colored now. As I get older I realize that fun trumps elegance any old time.

That’s the second scariest amalgamted holiday icon I’ve ever seen! (The first was in Sluggy Freelance.)

This gives me an idea for the next Sharknado movie!!!!
