Org t he scorching Sun has turned my Lawn a festive Brown. The Trees Are All trimmed with Wasp nests. And the Beach towels have been Hung by the dryer with care. Yes its beginning to look a lot like Christmas. This will seem hard to believe but the season of Joy a snot the first thing on my mind As i slunk in the front door monday after my first Day Back at work following a two week vacation. Hurry up my wife commanded were going to be late. Late for what i muttered. Were going to my Brothers for dinner she politely reminded me. After digesting this Titbit i made what i believe to be one of my More compelling frown faces. Huh i mumbled. I you have to go my wife reasoned. Were having Christmas dinner hearing this i posed the first question any self respecting husband would ask. Will i get a present i demanded. Yes were doing a secret Santa gift Exchange she sighed. Of lets go when we walked in the door i Felt like id entered a summer rerun of the Twilight zone. The Halls were decked the stockings Hung. And the Aroma of Turkey with All the trimmings filled the late summer air. Merry Christmas my sister in Law joyfully shouted As we scuttled inside with our packages to escape the August heat. With John Cougar Mellencamp singing i saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus on the stereo i decided to conduct a hard hitting interview. So i cleverly asked my sister in Law Are you Guys going away this Christmas nope she replied As she Laboured Over a pot of mashed potatoes and enough salads to choke a Small horse. Then Why Are we having Christmas in August i demanded. She paused and gave me the sort of look you would normally Reserve for a Puppy after its thrown up on the carpet. Because she explained i wanted to see what Christmas would be like if we lived in Florida thatus the kind of logic even a respected Humour columnist cant argue with. But i a snot the Only dinner guest a Tad confused by the idea of welcoming Santa in the summer. Imagine what was going through the mind of the Young foreign student who is living with my i fees sister while learning to speak English. Her name is you pronounced you and she comes from Japan. Who is this a a i asked my i fees sister. You my sister in Law replied. No i mean her i said pointing at you. Yes thatus you she frowned. Me i stuttered. Its you she shouted. Who no you Abbott and costello routines aside we eventually exchanged gifts i got a Cool mood lamp figured out who was you then began eating ourselves into a coma. I sat beside a Young mom whose kids wait to inhale several pounds of Turkey. Then race outside to try their new Pool toys. The kids really seem to like Christmas in August i noted. Yes but they re really looking Forward to this weekend she beamed. Because i asked. Because were taking them trick or treating at the Lake she gushed. I am not making this up so in keeping with the season id like to wish everyone a merry Christmas and a Happy halloween. And now if youll excuse me i believe i have some easter eggs to hide. Doug.
