tis the season
I was listening to Sarah Mclaughlin Christmas on the way to work this morning and although I do like her sometimes. She certainly knows how to make you wanna just run the car off a bridge I mean she turned even some of the happy Christmas songs into ballads of the female spirit I swear. I mean I like the songs and she has an awesome voice but still…it made me want to listen to a Mariah Carey Christmas or something just to hear something upbeat and that’s scary in and of itself.
I am normally all for this whole Xmas gift giving thing. I usually really enjoy finding the right gift for someone and enjoy it when I find something that they really want. I am having sort of a selfish Xmas this year every time I attempt to get gifts for people I end up buying one gift all day maybe and buying like 3 things for myself. It is normally not like me at all I like to get the Xmas stuff out of the was asap and I am totally taking it down to the wire this year. I have only bought one gift so far and I have at least 5 important ones that I can’t put off till later, people I will see Xmas eve all the other gifts can wait sort of because I won’t run into them till new years. I have like all kinds of function to go to as well which are all planned for after work so no time for shopping there... so thankfully I am off friday and can make it to the mall early before the bedlam and get out equally as quickly. I like to shop but when its crazy like this its not nearly as much fun.
I did love this one song though ...even though I was really looking or something more uplifting...
The lamp is burnin' low upon my table top
The snow is softly fallin'
The air is still within the silence of my room
I hear your voice softly callin'
If I could only have you near
To breathe a sigh or two
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
Upon this winter night with you
The smoke is rising in the shadows overhead
My glass is almost empty
I read again between the lines upon the page
The words of love you sent me
If I could know within my heart
That you were lonely too
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
Upon this winter night with you
The fire is dying now, my lamp is growing dim
The shades of night are liftin'
The mornin' light steals across my windowpane
Where webs of snow are driftin'
If I could only have you near
To breathe a sigh or two
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
And to be once again with with you
To be once again with with you
The new years plans have also been made. We are doing nothing, rather we are staying in town and probably going to SF, the red princess will probably be in town as well so those of you wishing to say hello should come out and meet us.
