Walmart Offers Holiday Service Just In Time For Christmas

Author Mike O'Brian

It’s getting to be that time of the year, so just in time, Walmart has added a new holiday service we can all use! The mega store giant is adding service to put up lights on your house…and the reason The Mike & Carla Morning Show brought this up, after last year, it’s one service Mike O’Brian can use!

If you missed it, as Mike was putting up Christmas lights on the house last year, he actually fell off the ladder. Now, there were no life threatening injuries, in fact the embarrassment was a little more damaging than anything. Thank God he survived, but he’s actually looking for someone to do this year, so this news is GREAT!

Clearly this isn’t anything new for Walmart since they came out a couple of years to announce the service, but it’s good news for a lot of people and it’s actually affordable! Compared to some private businesses that advertise to do it, check the updated prices, but according to the article, you might be able to get this done for under $200.00!

Listen, everyone wants their home to look festive inside and out when it comes time for the holidays…and if you can find someone else to do the job and do it better, then why not! No reason to go all “Griswold” on your house, but you would like it to look nice right?

So to each their own…you take care of the inside of the house and let someone else take care of the outside. This we know, it’ll probably be a lot safer for everyone if you hire someone to do it than trying to do it yourself MIKE O’BRIAN!

So listen to the segment from this morning, plus a few other topics that came up in “A Few Things We Think You Should Know” this morning on The M&C Morning Show…and enjoy!

Christmas Songs: 25 Classic Rock/Pop Tunes to Get into the Holiday Spirit

Now that it’s finally December, it’s time to fully embrace Christmas songs. (Sure, some may have started long ago, but many like to wait until Thanksgiving is in the rearview.)

There are a surprising number of Christmas songs recorded by some of music’s biggest icons. Many rockin’ holiday tunes tend to be covers, but many artists have tried to pen the next Christmas classic. If they don’t end up classics, they are often at least a lot of fun.

On one rare occasion, an original Christmas song inspired a theory that went viral. The song in question is the Paul McCarney hit “Wonderful Christmastime.” The theory started on X (formerly Twitter) via Canadian actor Ryan George, who wrote, “Paul McCartney’s ‘Wonderful Christmastime’ is about friends practicing witchcraft but then someone walks in and they have to suddenly play it cool.”

McCartney was asked about the theory in a special Q&A about the song on his official website in December 2022. Sir Paul said when asked if the theory was true, “Oh yeah. Well, thank goodness they found me out. This is completely true, and in actual fact, I am the head wizard of a Liverpool coven. [Paul laughs] Either that… or it’s complete nonsense. And you know it’s the latter!”

Macca is then asked, “This theory may have come from people mishearing the lyrics. Could you confirm if the lyric is ‘the moon is right’ or ‘the mood is right’?” He responds, “It’s ‘the mood’! This is the mood; I’ve gathered together the witches and wizards… I’ve got ‘the mood’, which is what we in wizardry call it [laughs]. The thing is about this stuff, it’s so easy to convince half the people in the world. You do have to be a little bit careful! ”

McCartney added, “No, it’s ‘the mood’. And you know what, I’m thinking about Liverpool Christmas parties, that’s really all I’m doing with that song. ‘The mood is right, let’s raise a glass, the spirit’s up’ – you know, all the stuff you do at Christmas. Particularly with my old Liverpool family parties.”

To help fully get into the holiday spirit, consider adding these 25 songs to your Christmas playlist. Or you can try and see if Sir Paul has an opening in his coven.
