National Forget Your Family, Love Your Television Day allows for the world to be the way the world ought to be. It allows you take a load off, sit back, and relax. Sure, it’s entirely possible that you could do this sort of thing on any given day. It’s always hypothetically possible for you to take a break and relax, but let’s be honest with one another — you never do. You always spend the weekend running around like a chicken with its head cut off. You never take time to sit back, relax and find out what’s up, or in this case, what’s on.
Well, let me give you a brief example. Olive, The Other Reindeer is on, TNT is going to air back-to-back-to-back the Lord of the Rings movies. There’s golf, there’s football, and there’s religious programming of other, more conventional, varieties too. There are holiday specials and movies, there’s the news, there’s soap recaps, and there’s American Idol Rewind. There is everything you could ever want and more.
Take the day off. Kick the family out. (Did they bother buying you a Christmas gift yet? Surely they could get that task out of the way.) This is a day for you to commune with your television, to make up for all the time you’ve spent doing other things this year. This is a day for you and your TV to be one.
Celebrate this first National Forget Your Family, Love Your Television Day. It’ll be everything you’ve ever dreamed of, that I promise.
