Some days it works, 31 00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:53.560 some days it doesn't. All right, So we got a 32 00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:55.560 lot to talk about today, hopefully you can hear me. 33 00:01:56.680 --> 00:01:59.079 And it starts with a story right out of the 34 00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:01.519 news that you just won't believe, okay, will you will 35 00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:05.200 not believe this story? So the Village People have been 36 00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:10.800 the gayest acts you know of all time, quite frankly, 37 00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:16.159 you know, I mean, why mci? And now they're threatening 38 00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:21.879 to sue anyone that says YMCA is a gay anthem. 39 00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:25.080 Can you believe this? Okay? 40 00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:28.879 The lead singer of the Village People, who is straight, 41 00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:40.000 said that he never intended YMCA to be a gay anthem. Never, 42 00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:44.639 He never wasn't on his mind at all for YMCA 43 00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:45.599 to be a gay anthem. 44 00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:50.680 Well it is a gay anthem, okay. 45 00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:55.680 And he says he's gonna sue anybody that says it's 46 00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:56.400 a gay anthem. 47 00:02:56.520 --> 00:02:57.240 Well, here I am. 48 00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:01.599 It's a gay anthem. It's fun to hang out with 49 00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:04.240 all the boys. He says, Oh, that's what we black 50 00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:11.039 people used to say. No, I just know the picture 51 00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:15.759 painted by that song is a big gay time at 52 00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:19.000 the YMCA. And for him to now say because now 53 00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:23.120 he's a Trump supporter, and for him to now say that, no, 54 00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:29.520 it's not a gay anthem, yeah, yeah it is. So 55 00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:34.000 they threatened starting in January to sue anybody that says 56 00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:36.479 it's a gay anthem. I think we should all because 57 00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:39.000 you know, the best defense for a lawsuit the truth. 58 00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:43.879 The truth is the best defense. So all you have 59 00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:46.039 to do is go to court and say, your honor. 60 00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:49.639 The man is dressed and he did this online yesterday 61 00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:52.400 dressed like a cop. So here is this three hundred 62 00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:56.719 pound black guy dressed like a cop. Okay, saying that 63 00:03:56.800 --> 00:04:01.039 the song about the YMCA is not a gay anthem. 64 00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:06.599 You can't make this up. What about in the Mayvie 65 00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:09.759 in the mavie, is that a gay antheone? How about that? 66 00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:13.319 I mean every song they had was a gay anthem. 67 00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:18.199 They played gay pride festivals, gay clubs. The movie they made, 68 00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:24.120 You Can't Stop the Music, was the gayest movie ever made. Okay, 69 00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:29.199 but it's not a gay anthem? Yeah, good luck, with that, 70 00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:35.480 Good luck with that. Just because Donald Trump decided that 71 00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:38.879 he wants to use the song and suddenly it's not 72 00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:42.199 a gay anthem, Yeah it is. And you know what, 73 00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:45.759 the writer of the song doesn't get to say what 74 00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:49.040 happens to that song once it's out in the world. 75 00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:51.600 In other words, maybe he didn't write it as a 76 00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:54.319 gay anthem. You know what, Maybe the Weather Girls did 77 00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:57.920 not write It's Raining Men as a gay anthem. Maybe 78 00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:01.720 they wrote it Paul Schaeffer wrote it. Actually, maybe Paul 79 00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:07.000 Schaeffer wrote it for single women everywhere. Okay, maybe in 80 00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:11.160 his mind when he wrote It's Raining Men, he thought, ah, 81 00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:15.120 this will be for you know, single women. But it 82 00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:20.199 became the gayest song on the planet. We Are Family 83 00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:24.160 by Sister Sledge. Now, first of all, they are family, 84 00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:28.759 they're sisters, and you know they were talking about the 85 00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:33.720 brotherhood or the sisterhood of their existence. You know, living 86 00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:37.959 life is fun and we'd just begun. So that became 87 00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:41.079 a gay anthem. Now did they intend it when they 88 00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:44.920 wrote it? And what about Diana Ross, I'm coming out. 89 00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:49.519 That song was originally written for Diana Ross to enter 90 00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:53.680 into the form when she was doing her television special 91 00:05:53.959 --> 00:05:56.879 she went to Nile Rogers, and she said, I need 92 00:05:56.920 --> 00:06:00.920 a song that will allow me to, you know, come 93 00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:04.959 into the form and make a big entrance. So Nile Rogers, 94 00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:10.519 who is gay, wrote I'm Coming Out and come in Out. 95 00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:12.600 That is like a gay anthem. 96 00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:16.079 Now did Nile Rogers write it to be a gay anthem? 97 00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:18.439 No, he wrote it for Diana Ross to make an entrance, 98 00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:21.199 but it became so. 99 00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:29.040 Songwriters don't get to choose how the public edifies their songs. Okay, 100 00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:33.279 so the village people don't get a say as to 101 00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:35.480 whether YMCA is a gay anthem or not. 102 00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:38.000 They don't get to make that decision. 103 00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:43.199 Culture and pop culture does, and pop culture has said 104 00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:46.759 from the very beginning that that song is a gay anthem. 105 00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:50.240 So if he doesn't like it, give back all the 106 00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:53.800 money you've made from the gay community. Never ever ever 107 00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:57.160 take another booking, and not that you'll beginning them at 108 00:06:57.199 --> 00:06:59.959 a gay pride festival, and back away from the gay 109 00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:03.399 community and watch your little career dry up. You are 110 00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:06.160 a grown man in a cop outfit that sings with 111 00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:09.959 a guy in an Indian outfit, a construction worker shirtless 112 00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:11.399 with his shirt all the way open. 113 00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:15.079 You are designed to be a gay group. 114 00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:19.879 Maybe no one told him, you know what, maybe he's 115 00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:22.720 lived almost seventy years without anyone saying, by the way, 116 00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:25.680 the whole reason you exist is to be a gay group. 117 00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:29.279 Three of the members of the Village People are gay, 118 00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:33.120 and yet the lead singers out there saying if you 119 00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:36.600 call this song a gay anthem, I will sue you. Well, 120 00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:40.759 go ahead, because you could go up to any person 121 00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:43.319 on the street and say do you know the song 122 00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:46.279 YMCA and they'll go yeah, And then say is that 123 00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:47.040 a gay anthem? 124 00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:49.439 And they'll go, well, yeah. 125 00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:51.959 So the writer doesn't get to say and if it 126 00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:53.399 bothers him, too bad. 127 00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:56.279 There have been so many. 128 00:07:56.040 --> 00:08:00.720 Songwriters bothered by how the public ended up in interpreting 129 00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:05.519 their songs. But you and I'm a songwriter, so trust me, 130 00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:09.560 I know this. As a songwriter, you don't get to 131 00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:13.000 say how the public interprets your work. 132 00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:14.720 It's art. 133 00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:19.519 Art is subjective. It's up to the listener, the viewer. 134 00:08:19.879 --> 00:08:22.240 It's up to the person looking at the painting. 135 00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:26.279 It is not up you know. Oftentimes you'll look at 136 00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:26.879 a painting and. 137 00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:29.439 You'll think, oh, I bet the artist was feeling this 138 00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:32.000 or feeling that, and then you'll find out that's not 139 00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:32.559 at all what. 140 00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:35.679 They were feeling. The same with pop songs. 141 00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:38.480 There's so many pop songs we think we know the 142 00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:41.320 meaning of and we don't. I almost did a show 143 00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:44.799 called song Scribes for being My Music, which was about 144 00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:48.080 this very thing, like the song by Dana Ross called 145 00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:53.799 Muscles Ahwan Muscles that was written by Michael Jackson about 146 00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:58.360 his snake muscles. Okay, it wasn't about wanting a big 147 00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:02.480 man all over your body. About one of the most 148 00:09:02.559 --> 00:09:07.799 famous love songs ever written.

I hope you're all having a 159 00:10:17.480 --> 00:10:21.639 grand and glorious morning. So I was thinking this morning 160 00:10:21.639 --> 00:10:28.600 about Christmas, and you know, more than any other year, 161 00:10:29.159 --> 00:10:32.759 I feel this year Christmas is being forced upon us. 162 00:10:34.039 --> 00:10:40.000 It literally is being shoved down our throats. And I 163 00:10:40.039 --> 00:10:43.879 think that's the problem I have with Christmas. Nowadays we 164 00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:47.600 are told shop on this Friday, go online and shop 165 00:10:47.679 --> 00:10:51.039 on this Monday, and this many days till Christmas, and 166 00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:56.600 people put up their decorations now before Thanksgiving. Stores start 167 00:10:56.679 --> 00:11:02.919 advertising Christmas in October. Christmas is shoved down our throats 168 00:11:04.080 --> 00:11:07.840 for three months, and not for the right reasons, not 169 00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:12.519 for family and for love and for the sharing of 170 00:11:12.679 --> 00:11:18.159 kindness and joy. It is shoved down our throats for commercialism. 171 00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:23.080 And that is the big problem that I'm having and 172 00:11:23.159 --> 00:11:27.759 possibly your having with Christmas, because this year we don't 173 00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:31.279 want it shoved down our throats. With Donald Trump winning 174 00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:34.960 the election and now Ron DeSantis might be our secretary 175 00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:37.080 of Defense. Are you freaking kidding me? 176 00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:40.320 Okay? Ron de Santis? 177 00:11:42.080 --> 00:11:45.360 And so as we hear about this non stop cavalcade 178 00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:49.720 of horror, we're not feeling very festive. But every day 179 00:11:49.919 --> 00:11:55.039 Christmas is being crammed down our throats, and so I 180 00:11:55.080 --> 00:11:59.919 think many of us, myself included, are kind of rebelling. 181 00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:02.919 You know, It's like we've had it shoved down our 182 00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:06.960 throats since October. Christmas decorations have been up for months already. 183 00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:10.840 My neighbor downstairs put up their decorations the day after Halloween. 184 00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:15.639 Christmas should not be shoved down our throats. 185 00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:20.440 Christmas is something that we should organically want to participate 186 00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:24.320 in because we want to feel the joy. We want 187 00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:27.679 to feel the friendship and camaraderie from family and friends. 188 00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:31.759 We want to give gifts to special people. Not we 189 00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:34.080 have to, and we have to buy them on these 190 00:12:34.200 --> 00:12:36.200 days because that's when the deals are going to be 191 00:12:36.879 --> 00:12:40.440 the problem with Christmas is that it's become too big 192 00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:45.720 a business, and like everything, the pendulum is swinging at 193 00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:49.159 least for me, and the pendulum for me is swinging 194 00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:51.399 to where I kind of don't even want to participate. 195 00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:54.919 You know, if I had enough money, I would spend 196 00:12:55.000 --> 00:12:57.600 Christmas at one of the hotels here. I would check 197 00:12:57.600 --> 00:13:01.600 in on Christmas Eve to Resort World where Crossroads Kitchen 198 00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:05.120 is because it's vegan. I would check in on Christmas Eve, 199 00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:09.240 have a lovely Christmas Eve. Maybe do Christmas Eve? Yeah, no, 200 00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:11.879 I'd check in on Christmas Eve, wake up Christmas morning 201 00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:15.639 at the hotel, have some breakfast in bed, you know, 202 00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:18.200 go down and look at their decorations that morning, have 203 00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:23.480 a fabulous lunch at Crossroads Kitchen. You know, just something different, 204 00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:26.559 I don't you know the notion? And if you don't 205 00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:29.679 have family and friends to be with, this whole forced 206 00:13:29.720 --> 00:13:33.320 idea of family at Christmas, well you don't have a 207 00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:35.600 lot of people to celebrate with, what's wrong with you? 208 00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:39.240 Well, what's wrong with me is I'm a single gay 209 00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:41.480 man living in Las Vegas. That's what's wrong with me. 210 00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:43.919 It's you know, it's like, oh, well, you don't have 211 00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:46.600 tons of family, and so you're actually made to feel 212 00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:50.399 bad if you don't have tons of family to celebrate with, 213 00:13:50.840 --> 00:13:53.639 and you're made to feel badly if you don't spend 214 00:13:53.679 --> 00:13:55.399 a lot of money on gifts, and you're made to 215 00:13:55.399 --> 00:13:57.279 feel badly if you don't send out a card, and 216 00:13:57.279 --> 00:13:59.840 you're made to feel badly. If you know all of 217 00:13:59.840 --> 00:14:04.759 these things, No wonder most of us are going eh. 218 00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:06.519 When you have something. 219 00:14:06.200 --> 00:14:12.919 Forced upon you, you resist, You're like no. And so 220 00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:16.519 I don't know about you, but I would very much 221 00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:20.279 like Christmas to go back to being a short holiday. 222 00:14:21.320 --> 00:14:24.879 In other words, don't start it till the day after Thanksgiving, 223 00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:29.600 all right, and have an end December twenty sixth, over 224 00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:32.679 less than one month of Christmas. 225 00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:33.840 I'm all for that. 226 00:14:34.200 --> 00:14:36.679 And you say, well, Correll, you can celebrate Christmas however 227 00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:39.440 you want to celebrate Christmas. If people, no, that's not 228 00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:42.240 true at all. Avertime, you know what, I can't go 229 00:14:42.320 --> 00:14:46.799 anywhere now. It's December, okay, But in November, like early November, 230 00:14:47.480 --> 00:14:48.000 if I went in. 231 00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:50.399 A store, they were already playing Christmas carols. 232 00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:54.440 Christmas carols are some of the most depressing fucking songs 233 00:14:54.519 --> 00:15:01.759 ever written. Okay, Christmas carols make you sad. There's very 234 00:15:01.799 --> 00:15:04.919 few Christmas carols that make you happy. Why do you 235 00:15:04.919 --> 00:15:07.440 think Mariah Carey makes a ton of money. She has 236 00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:10.279 one of the few Christmas songs that doesn't make you sad. 237 00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:14.679 All the others like white Christmas. 238 00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:20.320 I'm dreaming of a white Christmas, just like the ones. 239 00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:20.840 I used to know. 240 00:15:21.120 --> 00:15:23.879 So here's this guy. He's not having a Christmas that 241 00:15:23.919 --> 00:15:27.120 he likes. He's not around snow, he's not around all 242 00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:29.360 the things that he loves. What a depressing fucking song? 243 00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:35.120 Have yourself? Ah, Merry Little Christmas. That's one of the 244 00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:36.919 most depressing songs. 245 00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:37.960 You know. 246 00:15:38.080 --> 00:15:42.480 Make the Yule Tides gay from now on, our troubles 247 00:15:42.559 --> 00:15:45.679 will be miles away, meaning we have tons of troubles. 248 00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:49.440 We're just gonna put them aside for Christmas. Have yourself 249 00:15:49.480 --> 00:15:53.639 a merry little Christmas. Let your heart be light. From 250 00:15:53.720 --> 00:15:56.399 now on, our troubles will be out of sight. 251 00:15:56.639 --> 00:15:59.879 So again, troubles here. 252 00:15:59.639 --> 00:16:03.240 We are as in olden days, happy golden days of 253 00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:07.919 your So looking back again, faithful friends who are near 254 00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:12.279 to us gathered dear to us once more. In the end, 255 00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:15.200 we'll all be together if the fates allow. So, if 256 00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:18.279 the fates allow, we might see each other. Well, that 257 00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:21.600 was about the war. They didn't Their men were overseas 258 00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:25.399 through the years. We'll all be together if the fates allow. 259 00:16:25.919 --> 00:16:29.879 Until then, we'll have to muddle through. Somehow, we'll have 260 00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:34.559 to muddle through. And this is a happy Christmas through. 261 00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:41.120 No Christmas carols are depressing, although it is cool that 262 00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:44.720 Silent Nights stopped a war during World War One or 263 00:16:44.759 --> 00:16:45.759 World War Two. 264 00:16:46.120 --> 00:16:47.039 They were in the trenches. 265 00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:49.480 I think it was the Germans and the Americans, maybe 266 00:16:49.480 --> 00:16:52.240 the French, and they all started singing. Yeah, it was 267 00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:55.080 the Germans and the Americans, and they all started singing 268 00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:57.039 Silent Night, and they came out of the trenches and 269 00:16:57.080 --> 00:17:00.639 gave each other gifts of cigarettes and different things. And 270 00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:02.120 then the next day got back in the trench and 271 00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:03.720 started blowing the shit out of each other again. 272 00:17:03.919 --> 00:17:06.480 But that song stopped a war for one night. 273 00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:10.559 But even that song, it was written for the guitar 274 00:17:10.759 --> 00:17:13.319 because the organ at the church was out of commission 275 00:17:13.519 --> 00:17:15.400 and they didn't have a Christmas song. They had to 276 00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:17.279 write a new one, so they wrote one for a 277 00:17:17.319 --> 00:17:20.960 guitar so the guy could strum away and play. So 278 00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:24.200 a lot of Christmas carols are not happy little ditties. 279 00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:29.480 Deck the halls, that's good. That's an up tempoie happy one. 280 00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:32.359 Deck the halls with bows of holly. But where do 281 00:17:32.359 --> 00:17:33.519 you get holly these days? 282 00:17:34.480 --> 00:17:36.960 Truly? Where do you go out this? I'd like a 283 00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:38.119 bow of holly? Please? 284 00:17:38.200 --> 00:17:41.319 Excuse me? Can you imagine walking into target? Where are 285 00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:42.319 your bows of holly? 286 00:17:43.039 --> 00:17:43.519 Pardon me? 287 00:17:44.519 --> 00:17:44.640 Well? 288 00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:45.720 I need a bow of holly? 289 00:17:45.799 --> 00:17:50.759 Well for what to deck my halls? So we have 290 00:17:50.960 --> 00:17:54.279 Christmas forced down our throats.

I'm a vegan. 295 00:18:06.079 --> 00:18:09.680 You know, if you don't want to be around everybody 296 00:18:09.680 --> 00:18:11.880 in the free world, take yourself on a cruise, go 297 00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:16.960 on a vacation, fly away somewhere, have the Christmas you want. 298 00:18:16.799 --> 00:18:19.720 To have in the time you want to have it. 299 00:18:20.960 --> 00:18:23.359 I am not letting one Christmas carol play in this 300 00:18:23.519 --> 00:18:28.920 house until December twentieth.

So this Christmas, I'll try giving it 371 00:22:27.880 --> 00:22:32.319 to somebody else. That's depressing. 372 00:22:34.519 --> 00:22:34.839 God. 373 00:22:35.960 --> 00:22:41.079 Last Christmas, Yeah, then you sew it onto the ground. 374 00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:43.400 And do you know what song always makes me cry? Now? 375 00:22:43.440 --> 00:22:45.279 This is the song that makes me cry at Christmas. 376 00:22:45.680 --> 00:22:47.680 And if I'm ever in an acting scene and I 377 00:22:47.720 --> 00:22:50.920 need to cry, I just think of this song because 378 00:22:50.920 --> 00:22:54.119 it reminds me of Andrew. Because Andrew, my late husband 379 00:22:54.160 --> 00:22:57.640 who passed away in two thousand and one, loved Do 380 00:22:57.759 --> 00:22:58.920 they know it's Christmas? 381 00:22:59.480 --> 00:23:03.920 It's Chris Ristmas time? And even that song, what a 382 00:23:04.039 --> 00:23:05.160 sad song that is. 383 00:23:05.200 --> 00:23:08.279 There are starving people out in the world, just starving, 384 00:23:09.279 --> 00:23:10.240 so we ought to help them. 385 00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:14.519 You know, that's a depressing song. It's Christmas time. 386 00:23:14.680 --> 00:23:19.799 There's no reason to be afraid at Christmas time, you know, 387 00:23:19.880 --> 00:23:23.680 do they know it's Christmas time at all? And in 388 00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:30.640 our world of plenty, we must share a smile of joy, 389 00:23:31.240 --> 00:23:37.680 place your arms around the world at Christmas time. So 390 00:23:38.119 --> 00:23:41.759 even that song, it's kind of sad at Christmas, all right. 391 00:23:42.920 --> 00:23:45.680 So the problem with Christmas is it's two shoved down 392 00:23:45.680 --> 00:23:51.519 our throats now, so resist do it your way. Set boundaries. 393 00:23:51.599 --> 00:23:56.480 Tell your family no Christmas carols until this date. You know, no, 394 00:23:56.640 --> 00:24:00.920 I'm going shopping at this time. Set boundary. Don't let 395 00:24:01.079 --> 00:24:05.960 Christmas gobble you hole, because it will, you know it will. 396 00:24:06.680 --> 00:24:08.960 And I don't get these people that go all out, 397 00:24:09.680 --> 00:24:10.480 I mean all out. 398 00:24:10.519 --> 00:24:11.519 There's a lady here. 399 00:24:11.680 --> 00:24:13.960 Her patio makes me nauseous every time I pass by. 400 00:24:14.039 --> 00:24:16.319 It's like a bad acid trip. There are so many 401 00:24:16.359 --> 00:24:20.000
