Christmas Cards, Anyone?
ok so you know christmas is on its way when the creepy santa appears on queen street. all i can say is thank god he no longer winks because that my friends was scary.
if you dont know what im talking about then lets just say that every year the bookstore at the corner of our largest inner city intersection gets into the holiday spirit by erecting (heh) a gigantic santa on its facade. in recent years in addition to the 'come hither' finger that it currently sports the santa also periodically winked. now many of you may think this is cute but let me tell you.... its not!!! the thing is huge, and not very well painted and looked vaguely lecherous even without the winking. in fact the winking has been known to scare passing children. and parents. and most pedestrians. so thankfully this year the winking is no longer (hallelujah). but the santa still performs the creepy finger (no, i dont want to come closer!) and still looks like he is leering at passerbys. in fact the removal of the winking eyelid has added to that. so good work [name of bookstore here]
anyway the important point is that the giantcreepysanta is actually a sign of the approaching christmas. a reminder to buy presents etc. and what it reminded me of was that i would love to send some of you guys on my flist at least a small christmas greeting, a cheesy card or camp nz souvenier. you know its what you have always wanted, lol. so if you guys would like to recieve some christmas wishes from me just reply to this post with your address and ill send you something.(all comments are screened). ETA: or you can email your address to me -liamarmichelle@yahoo.co.nz
