单集文稿 ...

  • Hello, Are you under the blankets or in a good chair?

  • Are your decorations up, even if it's just a tchotchke from the drugstore or snow globe you received from your first wife?

  • Before I came downstairs to record, I gave my tree a drink.

  • I got it last week and I'm happy to tell you that it's holding its needles very well.

  • After we finish, I'm going to go upstairs and sit next to it for a bit before I go to bed myself.

  • Have a chocolate covered pretzel and try not to think about where my tax dollars are going.

  • I feel we'll both be pretty tired after this one because I have some Christmas tree literature to share with you.

  • One piece by me, the other a Christmas tree classic that I think will make for a potent combination to help you doze off.

  • Not to mention this beautiful harp music by the wonderful Mary Lattimore.

  • I was clearing some old hard drives to make space for new cookie photos and came across this poem in my notes for the holiday special I made in 2016 about how to pick out the perfect Christmas tree.

  • It's not good.

  • That's exactly why amateur poetry is worth sharing.

  • The most famous celebrity in Rockefeller Center.

  • Bigger than even Jim Fallon.

  • A tradition.

  • Something new.

  • Christmas trees are a lot of things.

  • They are trees.

  • They are symbols.

  • The only time you get to have a tree in your home beacon for family, shaped like a missile, something to complement, sit under nap next to they are a symbol of immortality to both ancient Romans and Chinese.
