Oh, I love a good holiday party, as long as it's just me with a few close friends, my cats, and my favorite

tipple. Oh, but that's just me. However, you celebrate. Celebrate responsibly. Otherwise,

a price just might be exacted, and you'll have to face someone more gaunt and frightening

than the face staring back at you in the mirror in the morning. Well, the following story, Winter Revels,

is the very first of this season's special series of holiday haunts.

It was taped live in New York City on November 25, 2018.

Music It's a good It's a special kind of day in the big city. Every restaurant and watering hall on every avenue and street is bracing themselves. How does that old lyric go? City sidewalks, busy sidewalks, dressed in holiday style, in the air there's a feeling of Christmas.

I know lots of people all over the town,

and I don't know a single one who participates in this nonsense.

Not a single one.

Yet it's like thousands upon thousands of people.

All right, Jose, we can't hold them back to you long.

Let's open it up. Come on.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my freaking God.
