Well, Thanksgiving has come and gone, and since everyone is sill alive, and nothing caught fire or blew up, I guess I can consider the day a success. ;-) One holiday down, two more to go (Christmas and New Years)...
Actually I find myself looking forward to Christmas. This season always gives me a hopeful feeling, as if something wonderful were going to happen. It never does, of course, and therefore I think this feeling of mine is some sort of delusion, but...it's a nice delusion, and I like it. And, you know, there's always the chance that this will be the year, and some sort of beautiful minor miracle will take place...I'm firmly convinced that magic lies within the cold heart of winter, somewhere, like a candle glowing in the darkest, most frozen night...Something ancient and good and breath-takingly beautiful, and if I am patient and believe with all my heart someday I will catch a glimpse of it and nothing will ever be the same again...
(Just ignore the madwoman rambling on here about nonsense - she's harmless, just nod and smile and back slowly away...;-)
beautiful delusions,
happily insane,
christmas,
thanksgiving
