And now live from level five productions on the island of Miloronia.

It's the Larry Miller Show. The Good evening Mr. and Mrs. America and everyone who hates to buy gifts.

Hi folks and welcome back to the Larry Miller show. I'm Larry Miller, but in a way aren't we all?

And boy, oh boy, is it a beautiful day here on Milleronia today?

And well, we're coming up to Christmas and Hanukkah. And you know what? You should love buying gifts. You should like to buy gifts. But more on that later.

Oh, there's so much to talk to you about today. And it's a great time period.

This is the time also that I tell you a couple of stories.

Well, I always tell a couple of stories, I guess. But this is our special stories.

And speaking of buying gifts and gift giving and this is the story about it's

going to come a little later in the show about what I finally got Uncle Arnie for Christmas, even though it was

Conica. But in any case, there's so much to tell you by the way, and as always the music makes me feel so good.

It makes Colonel Jeff feels so good.

And of course, that's the Darren McGavin Orchestra and the Lisa Krelacic Dancers featuring

Boy Tenner Santa Claus asking the musical question, do any of you have any idea that I say other things besides ho-ho-ho? Well, no, no, no. We're not aware of that and well with all affection we don't care. We love you the

way you are and ho-ho is good enough for us. And I think it is by the way. And of course I just want to mention the reason we put in

Lisa Krelassick as the head of the dancers today is because well she's a great fan and a great member of the

Larry Miller Drinking Society and she made a coaster that Colonel Jeff is

using right now. She made it it's's based on a tile, I think that is, and not a huge one. It's a just right-sized

tile and she put the emblem of the Larry Miller Drinking Society right on it.

I don't know how it's exact. I thought,

if she painted that, she's a great artist.

But Colonel Jeff thought also, whether there are machines today
