Nikki M. Mascali
I’ve always hated the term “Christmas in July.” I don’t know why, I just do.
Maybe it’s because I don’t want to think about Christmas while we are in July.
I don’t want to remember the snow that usually comes that time of year, which in turn makes me think of my astronomical heating bill.
I don’t want to think about the Christmas music local radio stations will probably begin playing in August this year
And so on.
Another thing I don’t like is the comic strip “Peanuts,” for reasons I explain here.
But here I am with this bitchin’ Video of the Week that marries Christmas (in July) and Charlie Brown and his pals. It’s seamless and I offer it to you as an early Christmas gift.
Ho. Ho. Ho.
Don’t ask me how I’ve seen and it don’t you dare ask me why I’m still singing the chorus because this is a terrible video and an even worse song.
My favorite line is “Did you eat?/ Do you have the energy?” Of course I adore the chorus of “Yeah that’s right/ It’s sneaker night” as well, because how could I not?
Since misery loves company, let’s put our sneakers on and get down.
