Drunken Pumpkin

The holidays have to be an awesome time for those in broadcast journalism. For the most part your news is already sorted out, you just need the details colored in.

First, just before Thanksgiving you do a story on tryptophan, the chemical in turkey that makes you sleepy.

Then you have you’re Black Friday updates.

After that you can do a story about shopping three to four times a week.

Don’t forget all of those touching moments where families come together after x number of years.

You also need to talk about the light displays in the community, both on public and private property.

On a slow newsday, anything that would be a drag the rest of the year becomes a tremendous tragedy around Christmas. House fires are especially good.

House fires also lead us into a story about safety with the Christmas tree.

And lets not forget the segment on Holiday depression/stress.

Last, but not least, we have radar coverage of Santa up to midnight.

There you have it, you can watch the news, or just read the Pumpkin and fill in the details yourself.

Your Welcome. Tune in next time when I realize I haven’t done any of my own holiday shopping, despite having a list for the last two months.
