Christmas: It Ain’t Over Till It’s Over

...and you wanna know something? It ain’t over. Not until January 6th, when it’s Epiphany.

Here is the funniest, saddest, most poignant, most hilarious radio skit I have ever run across. It’s “Family Christmas,” complete with scripted sound effects, from Garrison Keillor (one of America’s treasures) and friends on A Prairie Home Companion.

Unless this one is.

I just can’t decide.

  1. Technically speaking, Christmas ends on 5th January which is Twelfth Night.

  4. dogcote, glad you liked the post! I see that your blog is all about training Dachshund puppies. Dachshund puppies (well, at least one puppy) and I had a distinct difference of opinion over who should be the alpha male in the house. And even though he was a Valentine's Day present to Mrs. RWP and we named him Rudolph Valentino, we gave him away to a nice lady who already had three other Dachshunds and a fenced back yard. That is how I deal with Dachshunds. Mainly because Mrs. RWP said either Rudy or I had to go.

    So I don't really need your blog at this time. We have a lovely, super, Havanese dog now who is just about perfect.
