Frazz by Jef Mallett for December 08, 2012

Thanks for perspective, kid..

Gonna need more snow ’round these parts…………

Frazz’s line in the last panel is great, and reminds me of a special woman…. Thanks Mr. Mallet…

Don’t be dissing Der Bingle.

Would you prefer 12 months of Chipmunks?

For me, the joy is 11 months w/o The Little Drummer Boy.

I think she means it starts the day after Halloween.

RIP Bing Crosby, Sammy Davis Jr., Dean Martin, and all the rest.

tresareus: Also a good whistler, as his earlier works show. A bit heavy on the vibrato, but that was the singing style in those days too.

Christmas bah Humbug!!

It’s also true that not all Christians go by the traditional “Christmas calendar,” with Advent leading up to the day and then the twelve days after.

Say not so! Der Bingle is one of the pleasures of the season!

Consider, too that the pope himself has pontifficated on the fact that it’s not 25 December.

My problem with front-end loading up on Christmas is that you lose the perspective of preparing for the Advent of Christ, both his first and his second. By the time you hit Christmas, you’re just beginning the Christmas season (that’s why there’s that song “The 12 Days of Christmas”); but all the stations that have been on Christmas-song overload since Thanksgiving (or in some cases, Halloween), stop playing Christmas songs once the Christmas season actually begins!

I just wonder if the people who complain about the consumerism of Christmas before Thanksgiving are the same people who are complaining they don’t have time to get everything done at the last minute.

OMG you aren’t kidding. Every-time I hear that piece of dung, I want to kick somebody in the A$$ A real maggot gagger.
