Happy Ho Ho The December To Do List

[cincygreg]

It's The H to The O To The Ho Ho Ho Yeah it is. It's that time again everyone. Time for happy holidays, who-ha-days ho ho days or whatever kind of days you celebrate in December. Plenty to do, much of it we started (or are about to start in November) Now, I may have to break the rule (or at least adjust it a bit) for this month because it is very difficult not to mention that one holiday or that guy in the red suit that is a representation of said holiday to many. But, I'll do the best I can. Or not
Starting with holidays
Hanukkah Starts on Dec 12th
Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day is Dec 7th
The First Day Of Winter is Dec 21st
And that day we celebrate on the 25th is actually on the 25th once again this year (spooky how that works out, isn't it ) Moving On
More holiday (or who has day) here

This Just In! Now through Dec 16th On Mon, Tues and Wed admission to the festival of lights at the zoo is half price!

Now, we need a flavor to savour. And as usual, my mind begins to wander as soon as this subject arises! (as well as many other times throughout the day )
But, this time I have an idea and it's a pretty good one if I do say so myself (and I do) This month we spend a lot of time thinking about the holidays so why not make the holidays the flavor of the month? No no, you don't have to eat your calendar I'm talking about holiday flavors. Egg Nog (and any other nog you happen to be into) You know the other nogs really dont get nearly the love they deserve. You almost never hear about any other nogs. Why does it always have to be about egg nog? It's always egg nog, egg nog, egg nog.... OOps, sorry about that. (wandering mind thing again) Anywho, peppermint is another holiday flavor (and who doesnt like a hint of minty freshness) so is cinnamon and gingerbread amongst others so I am submitting holiday flavors as the flavor of the month to the judges. And the judges say......
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!?!?!? tough call here, they are really mulling this over like they have never mulled before. Seems like they might be trying to add some kind of amendment to this. Wait, here they come with the official ruling and it reads...
To whom it may concern. We the judges have accepted the idea of holiday flavors as the flavor of the month and would like to add the gooseberries and snozzberries be included with any and all holiday flavors as we the judges just kinda dig gooseberries and snozzberries. So let it be known on this first day of december (and try to get it in a little earlier Greg! SHEESH! ) the holiday flavors shall be the flavor of the month. And, you know the rest. There you have it sports fans (and non sports fans) the flavor of the month is officially holiday flavors! And, sorry it was so late!
