Allright, you can start playing Christmas music on the radio.
It’s safe to cart out Charlie Brown’s Christmas again.
Studios are free to unleash their big holiday tentpole releases.
Take that bottle away from Santa and send him out to the center of the mall.
The tree can go up at Rockefeller Center.
You can open the ice skating rink now.
The Radio City Holiday Show can now officially open. Please close it by March.
Bring on the baseball winter meetings.
It’s still not okay for CBS to colorize and air classic black-and-white sitcoms, but that’s another story.
Networks prepare for their live musicals. Too bad the novelty has worn off.
Hollywood officially shuts down until January. The only business that gets done now is firing known celebrities and executives charged with sexual harassment. And of course their shocked reactions.
Travel today becomes an absolute nightmare. If it happens to snow a quarter-inch in Seattle, all flights in and out of O’Hare are cancelled till January.
Frantic cooking is taking place. People all over America are making that string bean casserole with Campbell’s Mushroom Soup. (“Why?” I ask.)
And finally, it’s time to stop and give thanks to all the people and things in your life that you’re grateful for. In my case, I start with you.
Travel safe this holiday weekend.
