Duck the Halls

                  

With only six days until Christmas, I am really feeling the anticipation, and I’m sure a lot of you are too! To take your mind off the excitement I suggest watching the Duck Dynasty Christmas special. If you are a Duck Dynasty fan like me, it will be a real treat and get to laughing so you are no longer thinking about what you will be getting for Christmas in only six short days.

The Duck Dynasty special premiered last Wednesday. Of course however I was busy the night that it came out so I had to watch it last Friday, but it was definitely worth the wait! The episode takes place in the Robertson’s home town where Willie’s wife Kori volunteers to have the Robertson family put on the annual Christmas nativity play at their church. As you guessed this doesn’t go down well for the manly Robertson men. Between the practices, most of them being failed practices, the Robertson’s are able to pull off a great show for their church. A “major” problem arises with the youngest Robertson brother, Jep, let’s just say he isn’t cut out for the theatrical type of life style. Jep had many problems with his only line in the entire play, “there is no room for you here”. As always the others laugh and make fun of Jep’s mistakes, which makes the audience laugh and the show more fun to watch. In the end Jep is able to say his line correctly and is very excited.

The other reason I love Duck dynasty is not only for the humor and the funny stuff that the Robertson men do but the whole family aspect about the show. The Robertson’s are very close to their families and you can tell even with the stardom that has definitely arisen, that the family is still as close as ever. (At least this is what I see when watching the show.) You can tell that even if the family member may pick on you sometimes, that if you really needed something then they would always be there for you.

Another great aspect of the Duck Dynasty Christmas special was that since it was the Christmas special, you get to see how the Robertson’s celebrate Christmas. Since the family, especially Phil and Kay, are so religious and serious about their faith, you can see all of the Christmas traditions that show throughout the episode. You can truly tell that family and faith really do take a bigger place in the Robertson’s heart then money or stardom does.
