The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour (252)

Thank you for joining us today


Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with another Looney Tunes Bugs Bunny cartoon, the 1960 Rabbit's Feat, (featuring Wile E Coyote,) directed by Chuck Jones.



As Michael Maltese had left for Hanna-Barbera, his name was removed from the credits, although his name remained on the credits for Trip for Tat and Ready, Woolen and Able that year and The Mouse on 57th Street a year later.


Happy Holidays! I'm sure you are just starting to run around doing your holiday shopping. So why not sit back and relax (quick, find the most comfortable seat on the sofa,) get a snack (perhaps, some popcorn,) and a beverage and join The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour in watching a few things we have for you on this first Saturday of the month of December -

Open a window someone , it's the Seventh night of Hanukkah.



That oil is a tad rancid



If you can stand it, more Hanukkah songs


The Hanukkah Sessions: Night Seven   Kurstin X Grohl: -



A little My Shalom-a?


The Latke Song   Debbie Friedman




Charlie Brown Hanukkah -




How The Kvetch Stole Chanukah -




Feliz Chanukah   Six13
-




Eight Nights A Week   Loudon Wainwright III
-



Perhaps he converted?


Without any further ado, our next theme of the evening - Gift giving is a true art (the true cost of Christmas)


OK kids, PNC bank has reported that there is a 5.7% increase in the price of the items needed for the 12 days of Christmas (compared to the 2019 per-pandemic prices). In the 38th year of their survey, PNC has found that the 12 items come out to a grand total of $41,205.58,  a $2,211.99 increase from 2019. The cost of this year's CPI increase was driven by the cost increases for many of the exotic holiday fowl, wage increases for the Lords-a-Leaping, pipers piping and drummers drumming. (I did not know this but you do not get any bargains by purchases these item online; buying all 12 items from the comfort of your living room would cost you $45,599, ($4,394 more than in-store purchases.) an increase of .092% from the 2019s on-line total of $42,258.91.



These prices are, of course, just for one verse of the song. If you add up the total cost of all the items from the entire song (what PNC Wealth Management calls “The True Cost of Christmas”) it would surmount $179,454, a 0.95% increase from 2019!

So it stands to reason that today's holiday theme is - The Twelve Days Of Cristmas



The 12 Days Of Christmas

The 12 Days of Christmas A Tale of Avian Misery -




Yet Another Partridge in a Pear Tree:   Brian Sibley-




The Twelve Days of Yaksmas -




The 12 Gifts of Christmas   Allan Sherman -




The Twelve Daze of Christmas   Fay McKay -




Are you still with us
? ACME wants you to join them in celebrating the holidays with your friends at The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour - the official soap of our nation's bald eagles. Remember if your bald eagle's talons are filthy, do we have a soap for you!  This year's Hanukkah season is nearly over (most of the staff of ACME conveniently convert to Judaism just weeks before the festival of lights; they're looking for those gifts,) and you may be preparing for the next part of the season. Why join The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour in watching this 2012 Hallmark special to keep that holiday mood going. We would like you to join us in watching this fun movie, Hitched For The Holidays. So push away from the table if you can (hopefully you've been including some extra fiber pills in your diet), get comfortable and enjoy the film.



Joey Lawrence starred in a similar role in My Fake Fiancé where he pretended to be the Melissa Joan Hart fiancee and ended to fall in love with her.
