What a superbowl party is really like

on
This is what real life Superbowl party hosting is like. Tay Tay banter included..  First you prep for the big event by spending hundreds of dollars on food that only half will be eaten. You know this going in yet still tell yourself that the more food the better. This is for 20 people Just prior to the Kickoff , words of Taylor Swift already begin. Kids continue to ask if Taylor will be performing.  Some of the adults will be yelling because they lost the “will she show up for the Superbowl or not” bet. Kickoff starts and you realize that someone named blah blah has already won the Bonus 0-0 payout in your Superbowl box pool that you dropped a hundred on. You say hmmmm and already start having conspiracy theories as its someone who is related to the person running the pool.  End of the 1 st draws near . Its only been an hour since the company has arrived and already the food that was beautifully prepared...

We put up our Christmas decorations last weekend because its 2020 and there are no rules

on

Last weekend it was 75 degrees. The sun was out. The leaves were falling.  And there I was wearing shorts and a t-shirt putting up my Christmas decorations.

We had just finished putting up the Christmas tree. It was so hot in the house that we almost put on the air conditioner. 

2 things wrong here:

1) Why is it 75 degrees in November in NYC area?

2) Why did that crazy man put up his Christmas decorations 7 days after Halloween?

Its simple.  Its 2020. Anything can happen. There are no rules. Screw common beliefs.

Passing neighbors say to me as I am putting up my lights “This is just what we need right now” or “Awesome. Thank you so much for this.” I translate this to “What an ass. ITS NOT EVEN THANKSGIVING!”  They are just being polite. 

Since, kids gather around our house daily with smiles and laughs pointing at the lights and dance to the music.  I laugh as I think about that Child being confused that Christmas time is days away forcing their parents to rethink their Christmas decorating strategy and Santa fibs to their kids. “That Asshole!”

So while the World falls apart, I can sit by the tree with my Wife and listen to the sweet sounds of Baby Please Come Home and All I Want for Christmas on repeat until 2021, as my Kids run around the house looking for George, their Elf on the Shelf.. and I couldn’t be happier! 

Nice try 2020!

Godspeed
