BOBTAIL RINGING
I believe Elvis sang it best when he chanted a carol around Santa Claus coming to town and I used to think my friend back home was crazy for liking the king of rock so darn much. She even put blue lights on her green Christmas tree. Who knew. Blue Christmas came over the radio during my shower today, and I found myself emulating Elvis adding three minutes to my showertime. You see, I am in such the Christmas spirit this year, I almost talked myself into taking my turn on his lap with wishes and giggles of this season at the local mall. I find myself more and more wanting to leave cookies out and stay up harking for jingle bells and rooftop scuttle.
Is this crazy to want to be believer again? I know, I know I am too old. Hush. Who's idea was it anyhow to abolish Santa at the conclusion of our childhood? I am enraged. With technology today, why can't we limn a new line of work. Let's make these fictional fables such as Rudolph, and Saint Nick come true. What is so hard about coming house to house from a flying sleigh in the sky and dropping us gifts down the chimney anyway? That's not crazzzzee.
