Why It's Christmas Day, Sir!

 What day is this? 

Why it's Christmas Day, sir! 

I'm gonna let some You Tube clips do the heavy lifting.

First up is "Linus and Lucy" from the classic TV special, "A Charlie Brown Christmas". 

What makes this performance extraordinary is Jerry Granelli. He is best known for playing drums on the soundtrack A Charlie Brown Christmas with the Vince Guaraldi Trio.

At 80 years old, Jerry Granelli is still performing, still a master behind the drum kit. The clip below I believe is from 6 years ago. 



NBC and Saturday Night Live can be a bit unpredictable about how long clips will stay up but hopefully this one is still live. 

From the December 19th episode hosted by Kristen Wiig, here's a family Christmas morning that may have looked like the one you endured this morning. 



My wife Andrea had more than one present under the tree, thank you very much.  

But yes, there were presents for the dog. 

'Cause Rosie is a good dog.


Yes, Rosie! It is Christmas! You're such a good dog!  



No, Rosie! Christmas is not food! Although food is involved.

You're still such a good dog! Yes, you are! Such a good dog! 

The Christmas carol that annoys me the most is "Carol of the Bells" but I'm always up for a good parody. Here is the Holderness Family with "Karen of the Bells". 


Let's wrap this up with a video from 2009, a Doctor Who themed BBC Holiday Identification clip featuring David Tennent as the Doctor. 


That is that for today.

Whoops! One more thing! Here's some comic book stuff! It's the last page of a 1970s Justice League Christmas story by Wein, Dillin & Giordano. 




OK, now that is that for....

NOPE! Not quite! One last time this holiday season, we're putting the sexy back into Christmas. Today, it's the original Daisy Duke herself, Catherine Bach! 



And NOW we're done! 

I hope you stay safe, find happiness where you can  and remember above all else to be good to one another.
