The Coach Blog would like to wish a very happy New Year to all of you. Even if I don't know you, I hope that your new year is happy.

I have been racking my brain trying to remember if there was ever an episode of Coach that took place during the holiday season. I have a very vague memory of Luther dressing up like Santa Claus, but that might just as well be a fake memory I invented.

I wonder what Coach was like during the holidays. I can't remember if he was like, maybe all jolly or else totally a jerk and always talked about how he didn't like Christmas (I assume he was Christian, though he probably didn't take it too seriously, at least not enough to alienate any viewers). I think maybe he even went on some monologue about why he doesn't like Christmas and then Kelly was like: "Daddy, Christmas is a time blah blah blah," and then Coach made some joke afterwards. Like, "I thought Christmas was a time for [spending money or something]". Then the audience laughed, but not really because they agreed about the frivolity/commercialization of Christmas so much as the joke was well timed and took advantage of parallel construction.

I think then probably Coach learned a lesson about the meaning of Christmas or something.
