If you’re a Christian, Merry Christmas. If you’re a Jew, Happy Hanukkah. If you’re an atheist, good luck with that.

July
The Fourth of July is always a big deal in the Zohner household, and to be honest, why wouldn’t it be? After all, I come from a long line of rednecks (my grandma used to have a TV that worked on top of her TV that didn’t). The Fourth of July is the perfect redneck holiday! Not only do we get to celebrate the birth of our nation but we get to blow stuff up and cook meat on fire. Who could ask for more?

January
…and I couldn’t care less. I have never understood the fascination that people have with turning the page on a calendar. Well, I can understand it if they have a really cool calendar like Dilbert or The Art of Star Wars. Still though, even the presence of a cool calendar doesn’t excuse the “festivities” that take place with the coming of a new year. Standing outside in the cold and counting backwards from ten just doesn’t appeal to me.
The only year that I have looked forward to is 2000 and that was because I wanted to see if the predicted horrors of Y2K would actually happen. Obviously they didn’t which was a great disappointment to many survivalists that had stocked up on toilet paper and Mountain Dew but it was nice to know that my VCR still flashed “12:00″ without missing a beat.

December
I was talking with a friend at church the other day and he likened the Christmas season to a car accident. Despite how much preparation goes into getting ready for everything, it still manages to sneak up and leave everyone wondering what it was that just hit. Given how the past month has gone, I felt that this was a very appropriate analogy. Now that things have started to settle down, I decided that I finally better sit down and try and recap our activities over the past few weeks.

I love the old Christmas specials that the TV networks air through the month of December. My favorite has to be Charlie Brown though. In this era of political correctness, it offends a lot of people, and I’m sure that it will eventually be banned, but it conveys why we celebrate Christmas better than almost anything that I can think of that’s not considered “religious”.

I love Christmas music. One of my favorite songs isn’t one that many people know about so I thought that it would be fun to post a live version of it here. For the record, Holly HATES this song.

Those of you who know me know that I’m a huge fan of Black Friday. I go out every year, usually with Holly, and spend lots of money on Christmas gifts. Usually, I end up buying way more than I intend and then feel guilt at having spent so much money. But I’m a sucker for a sale so I eventually justify my guilt away using the logic that saved a ton of money. I try not to think about the fact that I would never have spent the money in the first place if I hadn’t come across the sale price. In the end, I go way overboard on presents and the living room looks like a Toys R Us on Christmas morning.

I just wanted to take a minute from my dinner preparations to wish everybody a very happy Thanksgiving. May your day be full of moist turkey, flavorful stuffing, warm rolls, decadent pies, and a thankful heart.
