Well friends, it's that time again. A few closing thoughts.
During the break, Kevin asked in slight exasperation, but also laughing about it "What's a guy to do to get a match around here?"
Well for one, this is a no smoking area.
(Chuckling in the audience)
As for getting a match at the big board, X-ray vision!
(More chuckling)
That's how it goes sometimes, the big board giveth, and the big board taketh away. Sadly for this Christmas episode, the board was very Scrooge like, before his conversion.
Speaking of which, talk about a Christmas movie about conversion, Christmas Eve, right here on NBC, at 8pm Eastern time, we hope you and yours can take time out to watch...
"It's a Wonderful Life".
Life can indeed be wonderful, and this holiday season we celebrate the start of the life of Christ.
This was indeed not the most exciting episode, as the big board gave coal more or less to our players.
However, in that same tradition audience, each of you will receive a $50 gift card to Kohls department store.
(Cheering & applause)
Tis the season to be Jolly, therefore, I will share a couple of cute and hopefully amusing items for you.
Should Santa break down during his annual flight, fear not, for he will simply call Triple Sleigh!
One Christmas Eve, as Santa was preparing for his annual flight, he asked Mrs. Claus to check to see if it was snowing.
Mrs. Claus wiped a circle on the frosted window pane, and as she gazed out, she noticed some grey clouds and she saw Comet, Cupid and Rudolph munching on some hay.
Mrs. Claus turned back to Santa and replied "No snow, but it looks like reindeer."
And on that note, I wish to all of our players, and to you, all of our viewers, a very Merry Christmas. Stay well and be blessed!
And we have more "Cole" for you too! Bye for now from "Three on a Match!" Merry Christmas!!!
