MB 56: Link’s Holiday Secret

Hey. Link, it’s here. What’s here? We crossed over the holiday threshold. Holiday what? We’re in that, Christmas is just around the corner, part of year, you know, Christmas season has officially begun. Okay. I know what you mean. Yeah, like this morning, I tried to listen to my smooth jazz station on the drive to work, but it was already playing smooth Christmas jazz. Yep, okay, like you always hear jingle bells and back on it every single song. And also when no songs are playing just constant jingle bells? No, but like when I got coffee this morning, they’re already pushing their special holiday peppermint flavors, like, come on, he’s off the peppermint gang. Yeah. I love peppermint too. And also there’s a thin layer of snow on every surface inside of my house. Okay, yeah, like house holiday decor. Like, our whole house smells like cloves of cinnamon because the candle situation we got going on. Totally and how about those Christmas elves that are always around watching and waiting. Link, what are you talking about? And it’s like, wow the holiday display is already up at Walmart. I mean, wasn’t it just Halloween? How we already in full-blown Christmas mode? Right, like it happened so fast, it gives me whiplash. It’s too soon. Wasn’t it just labor day? I know! Suddenly my email inbox is full of holiday sales announcements. All ready? Yeah and you keep getting that mysterious, beautifully wrapped gift that ends up containing those tiny little metal framed glasses. You know, the kind that you put on the end of your nose and then you look up at people, like. Yeah and all my targeted ads are for pre-lit fake Christmas trees. Like how do they even know we need a new Christmas tree? And the Christmas elves sneaking to your home in the middle of the night and quietly, try to take your measurements. And you pretend to be asleep because you don’t want to startle them. Some of the things that you’re talking about really aren’t all that common. I mean, I think there might be something very specific going on with your situation. And suddenly, a lot of your wardrobe is bright red, like nearly everything you own is red. Like it must’ve gotten washed with something else red in the laundry. Classic Christmas stuff. See, like that. That is not. And you just feel a constant urge to go to the mall and just sit there and wait. No, I’m talking about more like universal holiday season stuff. Like suddenly every conversation is about who’s getting what? What are you gonna get your kids? What are you gonna get your wife? What do you think you might want? Who’s been naughty and nice? You think about all the boys and girls in the world and you make a list and you check it twice. Link, I? And you can’t stop craving huge plates of cookies and milk. Link, I think you’re turning in a Santa Claus. I’m sorry? I know this sounds crazy, but with everything you just mentioned. I think that maybe you’re slowly being recruited to be the new Santa Claus. Oh, really funny because of my hair. Huh? Because of my gray hair. Yeah, really funny. We can all tell that my hair is getting a little grayer every year, but you don’t have to be such a jerk about it. No, it’s because of all the Santa stuff. Hey? No, no, because of all the Santa stuff, man. Leave me alone, you’ve been a very naughty boy. Ja, a very naughty boy, indeed. Ho, ho, ho Santa?
