Things you can't do
at Christmas anymore

A partial list


1. Play off your own poverty by giving everybody cards made of construction paper and crayon.

[montey's tight. times are 
hard. here's your fucking christmas card]


2) Amuse yourself with off-color Holiday parodies like "The Madness of Good King Wenceslas" and "120 Days of Christmas."

[120 days of christmas]


3) Make an inflated show of enthusiasm when Lou Rawls sings "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas."

[sing it lou!]


4) Kid yourself that people are still amused by your drunken Holiday antics.

[looked like any other tree!]
