I guess I should open this with “Who Dat?”!!! Go Saints Congratulations on your win! Even if you were a Colts fan, I think a little bit of everyone’s heart wanted this win for New Orleans. I loved seeing all the happy people on the streets of New Orleans, and even in Brooklyn, celebrating. Let’s just hope everyone celebrates responsibly!
Lucy finds a letter to Ricky in the mail from the Army and assumes he has been “Drafted”, of course he is only going to perform for the soldiers. Ricky tells Fred about it and says Fred can be in the show with him if he wants. Fred teaches Ricky a Civil War act Fred used to do in his vaudeville days, Now Ethel has come to the conclusion that Fred is joining the Army. In effort to try to be strong, the girls start to knit socks for the boys. With the girls being extra emotional and knitting all the time the boys come to the conclusion that the girls are pregnant. The boys plan on throwing the girls a surprise baby shower and the girls plan on throwing the boys a surprise going away party. Trying to keep the surprise parties a secret from each other, the four find out the truths of why they have been acting the way they have.
Since this episode aired on Christmas Eve, “I Love Lucy” had a little special. The four are dressed up like Santa and start caroling around the tree, then all of a sudden the REAL Santa appears, then he magically disappears. “Merry Christmas Every Body!”
I dedicate this blog to my Grandfather Boyd Barns Bradfield. A lot of the things Fred says reminds me of Boyd. Fred was always picking on Ethel, Boyd does the same thing to Joyce my grandmother. Fred usually didn’t have a lot of lines, but his were some of the funniest, Boyd is extremely quick witted. Fred also has an amazing “shocked” expression and Boyd’s “shocked” face is one of my favorite’s too. The big difference is Boyd is a handsome man with a sparkle in his eye, where Fred is a cute in a “grumpy old man” sort of way. Boyd at some point or another owned part of the Saints football team (or something like that), how appropriate that they would win today! Having the “Christmas Special” made it even more of a reason to dedicate it to Boyd. Anytime I think of Christmas, Boyd and Joyce are the first ones that come to mind. I am lucky to have grandparents that make every christmas special. Boyd is always making us laugh and always loved seeing our reactions to the gifts he worked so hard to get us. Boyd smile and smokey laugh is, and will always be, very therapeutic for me. I look forward to many more.
