Comedian Frank DeLima’s Christmas gift to fans and followers is a parody of the yuletide classic, “Blue Christmas.”
In his treatment, DeLima moans and groans – like most of us – about the prevailing inflation that affects every aspect of life. Eating – brunch, to cut out one meal. Shopping – a single banana, instead of the whole bunch. Commuting – selling his Caddy because of gas prices.
Of course, he groans In his own inimitable manner. In pidgin. This time, in his video, a companion – a sock puppet.
“Blue Christmas” sounds like a new song, with his new lyrics:
“Ima havin’ a Blue Christmas
“Inflation
“Hamburgah price outrageous
“Inflation
“Thanksgiving dinna set me back
“I gotta sell my Caddalac
“My money…no can go as far…”
