Tis the Season, Mr. Claus
I woke up this morning to snow falling and the sight of my neighbor putting one of those wire reindeer sculpture things on their front lawn and I paused for a moment to revel in the fact that it is December.
Yay! It's that time of year.
December means we are in the throes of the magical mistle toe hanging, silver bell ringing, chestnut roasting, what's a Parson Brown anyway? deck the halls, it aint over till the fat man in the red suit sings, holiday season.
Tis the season of good will toward men... candy canes... animated lawn Santas groovin' in time to Brittany Spears' version of Jingle Bells... department store shelves piled high with tinsel... cool holiday commercials by GAP and Old Navy... popcorn on a string... carol singers... hot cocoa... flying reindeer, and I dig it all.
From curling ribbon and six packs of scotch tape to homemade chocolates and holiday cookies, nothing shouts It's Christmas! like a holiday photocard of various family members wearing brown felt antlers or malls packed with a sea of sweaters adorned with reindeer and Ho! Ho! Ho!
The festivity, the wonder, the magic and anticipation. It is a time of year where good girls and boys are rewarded for their behavior and those who don't behave, ah well.....at what other time of the year can you be asked...or ask for that matter, "have you been naughty or nice?" to your heart's content?
I am going to school to on Wednesday to see Professor. This is a busy time for him because it is close to the end of the semester and that is always a hectic time, so I doubt he has been able to pause and revel in the magic of the season.
I want to share some holiday spirit with him.....get him in the Christmas mood, but decorating his office in holiday lights is probably a bit impractical, so I think I will go festooned in some holiday garb of my own instead. There aren't any reindeer or puffy angels on my Christmas wear, but it does sum up my love of the season all the same....in a Naughty One sort of way ;)
