Another Christmas tale

December 20, 2017 by Dave Knadler

christmas fireplace tax cut

Cynthia from HR brought around the Christmas card. By the time it reached Henderson’s desk, it was already bulging with bills. Henderson sighed and reached for his wallet. He wasn’t crazy about diminishing his meager supply of cash, but it was Christmas time and he supposed he should do his part to help the […]

Will Roy Moore
ruin Christmas?

December 11, 2017 by Dave Knadler

roy moore and his little gun

This is what it’s come to: Watching the results of an Alabama senatorial election likes it’s the freaking AFC playoffs. Does scrappy underdog Doug Jones come from behind to knock off crappy horndog Roy Moore? It’s anybody’s game! Who’s ready for some football? My prediction just before the polls close: Roy Moore will win […]

Holiday Bill is back

December 23, 2015 by Dave Knadler

By the way, if you haven’t seen “A Very Murray Christmas” yet on Netflix, we here at the Warehouse have given it four stars and demand that it be required holiday viewing for aging misanthropes everywhere. There’s something about Bill Murray’s face: Etched with disbelief at the way things have turned out, but with […]

Here’s a sad sight on New Year’s Day: a fully trimmed Christmas tree taken out with the trash. I know some people get sick to death of holiday details, but wouldn’t you want to save some of those ornaments? No doubt there’s a story here that I really don’t want to know. As I’ve […]

Mom: The woman who has everything

December 13, 2013 by Dave Knadler

christmas cheese

I'm really trying to think of something to get Mom for Christmas. This has become an annual problem. She’s in her 80s, and after all those Christmases and birthdays there’s nothing she wants, and certainly nothing she needs. Lately my brothers and I have resorted to sending edible treats of one sort or another […]

A test of ye olde holiday spirit

December 2, 2013 by Dave Knadler

It’s a question I’ve long pondered: Why America, with all its tech prowess and industrial might, can’t produce a string of Christmas lights that will last more than one season. Yesterday I decided to deploy my annual Christmas display, a subdued arrangement consisting of lighted garlands on the porch and fake greenery around the […]

If I had a million dollars

December 13, 2012 by Dave Knadler

A friend here in Jacksonville has a charming Christmas tradition: Each year, he writes his brother a check for one million dollars. Coincidentally, the brother has the same tradition. In this way, they exchange extravagant gifts without any of the stress or guilt most of us now associate with this time of year. Really, […]
