Friday Foolery: A Foolish Festivus

I adore Christmas. I’ve expressed such (in detail) via former posts. Check ‘em out here and… here.

And ya’ll already know I love foolery. And then I thought to myself, “Self? I just realized that I don’t have a Christmas-themed Friday Foolery! That shit cray!” (For those who were wondering, myself agreed with me) And I don’t! Last year, I was off being merry and whatnot so I ditched ya’ll. Which was not in the Christmas spirit at all.

Of COURSE Christmas and foolery should be combined. It’s the best gift evah!

So, here are three Christmasy things that got me smiling/laughing/slapping a knee this season:

(Props to Keisha Brown for sending me this link)

– HAHAHA! This is definitely the American way to put up the lights. While the crib on the left has ALL OF THE LIGHTS (and ALL OF THE ELECTRICITY BILLS), the house on the left is saving all’at by just simply echoing their neighbor’s sentiments. Brilliant!! Even someone like me who LOVES decorating would prolly do something like this just for the foolishness of it. I really would. Yes, I asked Santa for “sense” for Christmas.

– This be my spot at the plantation. Never mind the piles of paper (Seriously, the other departments call us “tree killers.” I’ll be dat.). Don’t even mind the delicious Andes peppermint chocolates. The MAIN focus of the picture is that dope ass Christmas tree. Yes yes ya’ll and ya don’t stop, we actually have the Charlie Brown struggle tree at the gig. Which is bawse. Because if you read those links I told ya’ll to click (which you better had because there will be a pop quiz in the near future), you’d know that “A Charlie Brown Christmas” is EVERY single thing to me. That is one of the key components that MAKES Christmas.

And last, but not least…

– Ok, so this is not exactly from THIS season — in fact, it’s from several seasons in the past — but it is very much relevant in my Christmas life today. And it has been since the day it aired. And as far as I’m concerned (which is about 2 miles), this song is as part of the classic Christmas song list as “Silent Night” or “Let It Snow.” I kid you not, I sing this song at least once every year and will continue to do so for many years to come. And if you have a problem with it, you’re a Scrooge that eats babies on Sunday.

Pinchers, I hope you have a fabulous holiday season! And since ya’ll know I believe sharing is caring, let’s make a deal. I gave you a gift (see above), so let’s say that YOUR gift to me would be sharing your most foolish Christmas story, tradition, or anything else Christmas-themed or funny. See? I ain’t picky.

*Holiday hugs and pinches*

Love ya like Chicago loves having Derrick Rose for five more years,
