Fox & Friends guest co-host Dave Briggs did it right this time: he did not forget his lovely wife Brandi. Last Saturday, when F&F Weekend co-anchor Alisyn Camerota asked Dave how he was getting into work the next day (with a severe snowstorm in the offing), Dave declared, “I’m actually going to stay at a hotel tonight. Buzzkill! I won’t see my kids.” Unfortunately, he made no mention of his spouse Brandi. (Cf. Carpe Diem’s “Brandi, You’re a Fine Girl.”) Today, less than a week later, he had apparently learned a lesson from his beloved.
In the opening segment of the second hour, Dave wished the viewers and the troops overseas a Merry Christmas. Then, on a more personal note, he said, “I want to wish a Merry Christmas to my wife Brandi [and] my kids, Emerson and William.” N.B. Not only did Dave recall Brandi, but he saluted her first and then his children in his seasonal greetings.
Good job, Dave!

I remember when the late Walter Cronkite would end the annual Christmas broadcast with “I would like to wish Mrs. Cronkite a merry Christmas!”
Cronkite’s sign-off was far superior to the despicable Ernst Sanders, at the old WNYV network, who would always sneeringly wish a “happy Yuletide to my little woman and any offspring which I may or may not possess!”
Anyway……Merry Christmas, one and all!

HGB3, I do not think that Mr. Cronkite is late anymore. :) And, a Merry Christmas to you!
