I can't tell you my excitement. I am overjoyed, I am overwhelmed. I am astounded, I am flabbergasted. I am shocked and pleased. This truly is the most wonderful time of the year.
Oh, not for the reason you think, but it is.
You see, this Sunday is my holiday. I know, most of you figure that the real upcoming holiday is the 25th, and, you're right, that's a great one, but that's not my holiday. My holiday is this Sunday.
This Sunday (in case you didn't know — and I think you did, I think you were just playing coy) is the 3rd Annual National Forget Your Family, Love Your Television Day. I'm giddy, I'm positively giddy.
You see, as I've explained in years past, you work hard. Every day. Every single day you work hard. Even in this economy. Forty hour work week? Yeah, in what world? You probably clock 50 to 60 hours a week at the office, then you come home, and as much as you love your family, as much as you want to spend time with them, there are just sometimes when you want to sit there in front of your television, relax, and enjoy yourself.
That's what the 3rd Annual National Forget Your Family, Love Your Television Day is all about. It's the one day that's socially acceptable for you to tune out your loved ones and tune in a great football game (Panthers vs. Giants in primetime in a battle for NFC supremacy), or Million Dollar Password, or the New Orleans Bowl, or any number of shows that you have sitting there on your TiVo that you haven't had the chance to watch yet.
