This song is just so totally Roland
Mellowmas
At last, a Christmas song tells the tree’s side of the story
The road to Mellowmas is paved with good intentions
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, or maybe a soup kitchen
Nothing says “I love you” quite like pickled cabbage
Not all holiday music compilations are created equal
In which Jeff’s selfless efforts to help Jason find a gift for his wife continue to be met with heartless disdain
An 11-year-old, a copy of GarageBand, and thee
The search for a Christmas gift for Jason’s wife produces a foul hurricane of Mellowmas misery
“I like the part where it speeds up for no apparent reason.”
No Mellowmas could be complete without the sound of joybells ringing
You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the Mellowmas blows
A day of sloppy design, false advertising, and patented headwear
In which we marvel at what still passes for “cute” during the holidays
It puts the Mellowmas on its skin or it gets Mitchell Stoned again
In which bad grammar and Push Face mark their Mellowmas return
Jane Wiedlin hopes you’ve been naughty this year
Never was a cloudy day (or an original thought)

Jeff: Oh, goddammit. Jason: What? What happened? Jeff: Nothing, I guess. I just hate shoveling snow. Jason: At least the snow you’re shoveling is white — here in Queens, it’s…
Jason: Jeff! I’m so glad you’re here. I just had the worst dream. Jeff: I’m pretty sure we’re living that dream, but I’ll bite: What happened? Jason: I dreamed that…
