And it lasts longer!

Happy Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Festivus and New Years!

GOOD TIDINGS! SEASON’S GREETINGS! BAH HUMBUG!

“I’m Mister White Christmas, I’m Mister Snow.
I’m Mister Icicle. I’m Mister Ten Below.
Friends call me Snow Miser, What ever I touch…
Turns to snow in my clutch.  I’m too much!”

The Simpsons TV show is 30 years old! DOH!

Strange, isn’t it? Each man’s life touches so many other lives.
When he isn’t around he leaves an awful hole, doesn’t he?

“For this is all a dream we dreamed. One afternoon, long ago.”

NOTE: Not sure what happened to our ticket stub from December 16, 1986. This was the first run of shows following Jerry Garcia’s ’86 near death (diabetic coma) and recovery.

Eight candles for the number of days that the Temple lantern blazed; the ninth candle, the shamash, is used to light the others.

“Put on your yarmulke
Here comes Hanukkah
So much funukkah

The Festival of Lights
Instead of one day of presents
We have eight crazy nights!”
