Back when we all used to record our favorite Holiday Specials on VHS tapes, my wife – in her infinite wisdom & patience – made sure we had all of the classics ready to go as soon as the Christmas decorations had been unpacked.
But there was one tape that still makes me laugh when I think about it.
If I remember right, it opened with the old animated “Frosty”, and then maybe it was “Rudolph”, but at some point the classic, “A Christmas Story” would begin.
And every year, like clockwork, we would get to the scene where Ralphie is using his decoder ring in the bathroom and….the tape would cut to static!
This year feels a lot like that tape.
The lights are up around my neighborhood. I hear Christmas music on the rare occasion I venture out. But I know that for a lot of people, there is going to be a moment of “static” this Holiday Season when everything seems normal & then a reminder of what’s missing will set in.
For this Holiday Edition of our Light-Roast series, I want to try and put a positive spin on a pretty negative situation we’re all facing.
Hopefully it can be like finding that one last little present buried in the bottom of your stocking.
Or at least be something you can re-gift.
Happy Holidays & enjoy the show!
