Drabble by Kevin Fagan for January 18, 2022

I’m calling it a toss up.

Dude, you married a woman who makes every month about Christmas. You think it’s bad now, wait until Valentine’s Day…

Darn. That reminds me. I let another weekend go by without a fire in the fireplace. That stack of firewood on my patio is so seasoned it will probably ignite with just one match and no kindling.

She must be cold. (Here, it will be low 60s and a chance of rain, but we may also/or have virga.)

On the evening of January 1, 2000, I watched the New Year’s Eve ball drop in Times Square. I had to record it because I got Y2K duty early that morning.

It’s still a fire (maybe the music is Christmas) & it’s cold in January. Watching the fire may warm her up just by the suggestion ( & keep the heating bill down?).

or that Wally is watching it with her?

I still see some Christmas lights up here and there.

Hey, in the words of the immortal Nora Krank, “It’s us women who are on the front lines of Christmas!”. Let June finally enjoy some peace and quiet after the holiday hubbub . . . and if that means watching the recorded Yule log, so be it.

Play a recording of a badger, and watch the doggie go nuts!!! :-)

And here i thought i was behind in watching my recordings… I’ won’t hit my Christmas recordings until July or thereabouts as I’m currently watching the stuff i recorded last August. Should hit the Halloween horror movies around mid-February.

Don’t worry, it’s still on youtube.

Ralph, get with it! Can’t you see June is trying to set the mood?

“BAH! HUMBUG”!

I have a wood burning stove fireplace insert with a big window in its door. It plays well any time it is cold outside. It is best when it’s watched local and live.

Wife used to record the weather channel……………..

Better than a lot of things on TV today….

We all need a comfy tv show every once in a while.

It’s still cold outside and the weather is frightening.

I can’t say much. I’m still trying to get through the Thanksgiving parade.

Hell I know what that like, my wife loves Hallmark Xmas shows. Records them by the dozen. She got the upstairs tv and I have my man’s cave in the basement.

I don’t get video yule logs. My house growing up didn’t have a fireplace, so maybe the romance is lost on me.
