"I feel like I'm going to kiss you underneath the mistletoe..."

Picture of the Month:

The gift that keeps on giving....

Ho ho freakin' ho, and welcome to the merry month of December here with the
Big T. I hope everyone is enjoying the so-called "Most Wonderful Time of The Year."
I tell you, any holiday that mixes gifts, kisses under poisonous plants, egg nog (spiked)
and fruitcake is okay by me. Because of all of the holiday happenings, my movie clip
for the month won't be up by the first. It should be up by the end of the first week of
December, so don't forget to check back on my Movies Page for it. It promises to be
very Grinchy. There's also a couple of new song requests up this month as well.

Anyhoo, I hope all of you are enjoying the big holiday season. I've got lots of
parties and schmoozing to keep me occupied this month. I sure hope all of my personal
shoppers get gifts that everyone likes. I loathe the crowds at the mall. They get me
too riled up and I tend to have what my mom calls an "episode" and end up peeing on
a child or barfing in someone's gift bag. Let me tell you, it's just not pretty folks. This
sock was not born to shop. You will never catch me wearing a shirt saying, "The one
who dies with the most shoes wins" or "Shop Til' You Drop." Not gonna happen.
Random side note: I do, however, enjoy the game show, Shop Til' You Drop just for
the sheer lunacy of it. I miss Mark Walberg announcing, though. Fine, leave and go
to Temptation Island. With or without him, it still kicks the crap out of Supermarket
Sweep. What is up with that guy's sweaters? Hello, Bill Cosby called and he wants his
wardrobe back. Bill Cosby. Love the pudding pops and Fat Albert, but having your TV
family lip-sync to soul classics on the stairs of the Huxtable residence is funny the first
time. You start doing it every season and it's just tired, my friend. Go back to pre-
production on Leonard Part 7. Wow, I really got off on a tangent there. Where was I?

Oh, right, I was under the mistletoe with a line of 89 ladies waiting to be kissed. At
least that's where I was, I don't know what you were doing. But, in any event, let's get
back to business. Message to Santa: I have been good for approximately 12 minutes
this month. That should garner at least 19 presents, what do you think? But then
again, this is the season of giving, right? Okay, so everyone give me things. That
works for me. My pal Nate is already snowed in this month over in Minnesota. We
haven't had any of the dandruff in the sky out this way, so I think everyone needs to
e-mail Nate and tell him to come and visit me. He is the globe-trotting monkey after
all, and I think his next stop should be Providence. I'll even tell Melina Kanakaredes
to come as long as that ghost mother stays home. We all know how I feel about her. I
may be having more socky visits in the months to come, so stay tuned for that. Well,
the trimming of the tree has commenced here at Big T headquarters, so I must go jump
on it and knock everything down. Nothing like hearing a bit of holiday cursing! I hope
everyone out there has a happy holiday season, and don't forget my boy Dick Clark
on Rockin' New Year's Eve. I'll be revamping the site a smidge for January, so if you
have any ideas, send them in along with any requests or musings you may have to
share. Until next month, have a holly jolly one! See you next year....

Fa La La La La,

Tim

Recommended Song of the Month: The Holiday Season, either the Frank Sinatra or Andy
Williams version. This holiday tune gets a sock a rockin'.

Recommended Banned Songs at Your Office Christmas Party: If you have one of those
parties complete with DJ, please request these songs be banned for life (Also applicable at
weddings) : Old Time Rock n' Roll, Lady in Red, and Mony Mony (The Billy Idol version).

Recommended TV Viewing of the Month: Any holiday special where Billy Gilman belts out
Warm and Fuzzy. You'll get it stuck in your head and then beg for death when you can't get it
out. It's like an evil force that for some reason, you just can't help but like. You win this round
Gilman, but I'll be back.

Lost Trend of the Month: Is anyone still watching Survivor? If so, hands off Ethan. I'm
saving him for my mom. If he can survive that, he can survive her.
