The Holiday Spirit Wears Thin, Gets Skated On, Gets Some Underwear, and Gets Patriotic. [then there's the preview for the week...not too bad]

Well, that's it for another Christmas. Pack the crap up and ship it to the basement for another year of languishing in the dark. Hola quesolitos, it's your true blue friend, the High Cheese here.

And it gets even worse...so the most incredible woman in the universe and I are watching the Bears beat the Packers (how close was the NFC that if the Bears who won last night to clinch a bye in the playoffs would have lost their last two they would have missed the playoffs altogether--psycho!). Anyway, we're watching, rooting for the good guys and all of a sudden we see it. Celebrities now have to learn how to figure skate to prove their mettle. Who really watches this crap? Not me. Not the most incredible woman in the world. Not my hyper-anxious wondermutt. Not in my house! Honestly, like the sagacious people at UnderArmor say, "We must protect this house!"

Speaking of...those are the single most intense underwear commercials I have ever seen. They make you want to beat someone up or join the military, not put on some tightfighting polyester underwear. But hey, whatever sells, right?

Well, Christmas was a real treat. We are all so blessed simply to have been born so wealthy--as the tater says, we really did win the lottery by being born in America. Sure there are downsides, but in reality, we are all amazingly lucky [cue National Anthem].

Let me preview the week in Cheese for you to whet your appetites:

Tuesday - Wallets and Men...a must read for women especially.

Wednesday - Why my cousin picks on kids with prostheses.

Thursday - A sit down interview with Dick Cheney (might be rescheduled for another story about the crapper if he is unavailable).

Friday - Why it's so hard to drop a fresh album.

Who wouldn't read any of that??? Well, enjoy the long return lines and remember to not watch the celbrities doing anything other than what they're famous for in the first place. Thanks.

God save the Cheese.
