The Brent Star Report- Egg Nog
Why do people think it’s cute to say Merry “Xmas” instead of “Christmas”? I mean, I know everyone doesn’t celebrate it for the same reasons, but after awhile, I wouldn’t be surprised if folks eventually drop the “mas” AND the “Merry” and just say “X”. Can you imagine folks walking up and down the sidewalks greeting each other by just saying “X”. Or can you imagine inviting folks to your Christmas party on Facebook by saying “Come to my “X” party”? That would be awful…unless you had some good ‘x’. Unowatimsayin? Or worse, what if NO ONE shows up…except your X.
Just a thought…speaking of thoughts, what in the hell does the “Nog” in Egg Nog mean? I asked my friends if they knew, and they all said “nog”, my roommate was like “hell nog”, even GOOGLE didn’t explain what the “nog” means! So I decided to drive to the North Pole right quick (I have a VERY good GPS on my phone by the way). Once I got there, I asked a couple of elves standing on the corner about the “nog” meaning, but of course they looked at me like I was crazy and said “oh we just make toys, but you might want to ask St. Nick out back”. They meant behind that gingerbread house where he was loading his sleigh, looking all stressed. “Boy if you don’t get out my damn face…I ain’t got time, I’m running late! And where’s Rudolph?!!!”, he yelled. But he did suggest I go inside the house and ask Mrs. Santa Claus “Since that woman knows every damn thing” he said.
Oh my God, it smelled SO good inside their home, like a bunch of gingerbread menses sunbathing. Meanwhile, Mrs. Claus was baking while listening to Beyonce’s “Run the World (Girls)!” I interrupted with my question. She gave me a sweet hug and said “All baby boy, stop looking for a meaning to everything and relax. It’s just the drink’s name.” That made so much sense I thought but then I asked “Have you seen Rudolph?” She said “Yeah, I shot him because he kept asking me what does the “nog” in eggnog means”.
Moral of my ridiculous story? Don’t get caught up in the different reasons why folks celebrate “X”, just drank yo’ egg nog, have a few laughs and just go with the flow of celebrating life! Oh, and I have no problem saying MERRY CHRISTMAS to all of you!
UNTIL next week, DON’T read the girls, instead read The Brent Star Report!
