Jesus, Mary and Joseph, no I’m not quoting a line from Shawshank Redemption when the warden discovers the hole in Andy Dufresne’s cell. If you still have Jesus, Mary and Joseph in your front yard because you haven’t taken your christmas decorations down yet you might be a red and greenneck. What’s your major malfunction numbnuts! You have now skidded past Mardis Gras and Valentine’s Day. Are you one of those people that puts leprechaun hats on the 3 Wisemen and therefore buys you time through St. Patrick’s Day? What? What are your excuses for leaving holiday decorations up through March, is it the weather? STOP! The snow has melted and the temperatures have risen. Speaking of risen Jesus rises from the dead on Easter as a grown man and yet there He still is as a newborn baby on your front lawn because you haven’t taken your Nativity Scene down! “No,no,no, not in front of my house” using your best Dikembe Mutumbo voice. Alright I’ll cut you some slack if you used Mary and Joseph as dibs to protect your parking space but do you really want to weed whack around the base of your plastic snowman? Time to put it all away, Santa, his sleigh, the reindeer, the wreaths, the creche and all the lights, and as O.J. would say “those ugly ass inflatables.” Hope you didn’t staple your lights to the house Clark Griswold wannabe. Hell, the people who participate on ABC’s Great Light Fight have probably put all their stuff away and they put up MILLIONS of lights and things. No excuses, No one wants to see baby J holding a bottle rocket on the 4th of July. If you leave your Christmas decorations up all year the Al Qaeda wins.

Gunga, galunga
