bells? halloween or thanksgiving? you are arguing for halloween. take the podium. >> . >> lovers of christmas around the world, i say to you not only halloween but the day before halloween it is sad to hear the comments of those hurting. there is not enough christmas music. i am an american i don't like crony capitalism. and with the limited window for christmas carols you can only play so many. that's why mariah carey is truly the victim it's a wonderful song christmas music should be played year-round.

[applause] that was amazing i'm very inspire but wait to hear the counterargument you are arguing for thanksgiving after. >> my fellow americans. i love christmas music but i wait until after thanksgiving because i'm not a social path. on —- social path there is such a thing to have too much it destroys the appetite for christmas. i'm not arguing it is not good but too abundant. with the whole world just be a cvs where we put out the easter candy in february and fourth of july candy in march? >> yes.

>> in this economy we need the whole world to be cvs the day after with gas prices. do you think had the better argument? >> so now let's get a little serious more than just bag —- bragging rights to get a check for their favorite charity winners get the enormous check losers take on this stocking

reaching out to the national christmas tree association and did my research because i thought that would be the thing to do but there 25 through 30 million trees so every i have real trees because i like the way they smell. but the reality is if you are a real american you buy a real tree because there are many small business operators that need your support.

>> i tell you right now we get tories for relinquishing the podium. i saw mommy kissing santa claus. >> first of all money kissing santa mommy is a slight. let me explain why because in the song santa actually walks into the house let me refer to the lyrics, if my kids saw me doing it with santa there would be therapy bills through the roof i think it is spoiling children's minds and making them understand the real spirit of christmas money should not be sleeping with anyone else or santa.
