My annual Christmas post ... (By the way, it's 70 in Seguin, but the wind is fortelling a change in the weather).
My holiday greetings to all for a wonderful and blessed Christmas season ...
from MAD Magazine #140, January 1971 (which is how I wasted my youth) ...

God Rest Ye Faithful Football Fans
(Sung to the tune of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen")
God rest ye faithful football fans,
this Christmas don't dismay;
Thank God that there's a play-off game
'Tween Dallas and Green Bay;
The TV tube with all its thrills
Will hold you for the day--
You won't think...of those bills you'll have to pay;
Bills you must pay--
You won't think of those bills you'll have to pay.
On New Year's day the bowl games come;
The Cotton, Orange, and Rose;
And then the final championship
Between the mighty pros;
And all the time you're rooting for
Your fav'rite team to win,
You'll forget ... all the bills now pouring in,
Bills pouring in --
You'll forget the tons of bills now pouring in.
