Cold Open Question of the Week: Have you ever re-gifted a present?
Thank you to everyone whose been reading and listening to TheBrianLennonShow in December!
Brian is overwhelmed and humbled by the numbers of visitors to the Substack page. He started with five readers. Now, three years later, nearly 1,800 page views in just the last 30 days. More than 1,700 downloads of our podcast in the last 18 months. Thank you!
My Christmas Album: Be sure to check out the My Christmas Album series. This week we featured good friend and subscriber, Holly Petrochko, and Brian’s sister, Lorraine. Brian’s album is coming out this week, and we’re still expecting one more from someone who shall remain nameless…
Christmas Song: Brian has another post coming this week about a Christmas song that’s been in the news this year. Stay tuned for that… In the past, I’ve written about “Wonderful Christmas Time” by Paul McCartney, and “O Holy Night” by various artists.
National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation: Mary at the counter. Did you realize Mary (played by Nicolette Scorcese) is nearly 70-years-old! I saw this clip today on YouTube. It’s one of those scenes you watch much differently as a married 40-something-year-old man than as a 12-year-old boy.
Memories of Shopping in Malls: Gary, do you have memories of shopping as a kid? Where did you shop? Who did you shop with?
Update on my Hernia Surgery: Sore but feeling much better the last two days. Increased flexibility. Has Gary ever had surgery?

What is the most controversial Christmas opinion you have? If you had to live in a holiday movie, which one would you choose? What is the most interesting holiday decoration you own? What makes the best last minute present?
Gary’s News of the Weird: A Kentucky Christmas tree gives a hoot; A SantaCon bar crawl in N.Y.C.
