Armstrong and Gettie show.

Oh, ho, ho!

Oh, ho!

Merry Christmas!

Why so jolly, friend? Well, we got the Christmas feeling going. It's the last show of the year and

Christmas is actually 10 days from now. I screwed up the whole vacation schedule, not realizing that for whatever

reason both my kids, two different school districts are off the week after Christmas and the

week after New Year's as opposed to the way it's been their entire lives the week up to

Christmas and the week between Christmas and New Year's.

Not exactly sure why, but they did it, both school district did it.

And my niece is the same way, so whatever, anyway, we scheduled our vacation that way, then I had to rejigger it. So Joe's taking off, going to enjoy

three luxurious weekends off. I won't know what to do with myself. Yeah.

When's the last time you had three weeks off?

Never.

14 years old?

Yeah, maybe I suppose.

No, because I was caddying in the summer. I don't know if I've ever not worked for three straight weeks since I was 11 years old. I mean if you include school.

Right. So I will be here next week, but it'll be you talk about going through the motions.

Oh my God.

Although you do have some fabulous guests.
