Deck the deck with fake snow garland
FaLaLaLaLa-LaLaLaLa
It’s Christmas in California and, despite how
superior we feel to those of you digging out from under four feet of snow while
we’re still working on our tan, we have to admit to a little bit Christmas
envy.
Images of people bundled in parkas, donned with faux
fur-trimmed hats and thick, warm gloves carrying home the family tree amidst flurries of falling snow taunt us. Even your department store Santas are jollier
than ours who must labor under layers of padding and heavy wool suits, in eighty-degree weather, listening to kids asking for Beach Bunny Barbie.
This week we had some rain and wind. The
temperature plunged to a punishing fifty degrees, finally awakening
my Christmas spirit. While there is no
room in my tiny abode for the massive trees of Christmas pasts, I’ve made do once
again with my new tradition – The Christmas Pole. I do miss the fresh pine scent of a real tree,
but I love that my Ace Hardware garland came pre-lit, and remind myself that
that’s why God created Glade.
The sun is out today and my tomato plants are
still flourishing, but tonight when my sky is as dark as yours, I’ll be sipping
hot eggnog and dreaming of a white Christmas.
