And may all your Christmasses be white

7th June, early afternoonWoke up in the caravan feelin' a bit chilly this mornin', an' when I opened the door there was snow everywhere. Faith swore fer about five minutes over that, but once we'd got over the shock a bit we was right excited. Only problem was that we ain't got a lot of warm clothes fer us as we are now, but I reckoned we could ( Read more... )

A cup of kindess that we share with another
A sweet reunion with a friend or a brother
In all the places you find love it feels like Christmas

Woke up early this morning, just before sunrise... humming. There was a bite to the air that made me reach for a sweater before I realized what I was doing. When did I ever have a sweater? But it felt really... cozy. Then I looked outside. Wow. Just stood there watching the sun rise & the snow sparkle, like it was the first time I'd ever seen snow. And I just kept humming.

It's in the giving of a gift to another
A pair of mittens that were made by your mother
It's all the ways that we show love that feel like Christmas

I spent a few hours fiddling with wire & ended up making a few rings with different colored stones. Maybe I'll give one to Nu, or maybe Hope & Faith? Zann would like one, I think. And Dana. I wrap them up with a little shiny ribbon I just happened to have lying around. I find I'm smiling a little at the thought. With all the crap from a few months ago, it's nice to be able to ( ... )

Faith tells me she'll be back in a bit, so when she lets go of me 'and I can't see no more. But I'm safe 'ere at the carnival, I know that, so I sit on the bench quietly, sipping me cider. 'Ear footsteps come up - quite a light tread - an' I turn me face to the sound.

Stopped by the tent, following my nose, & found fresh cocoa being passed around. Had a cup & noticed everyone seems extra cheery today - & so do I, I guess. A few of the rousties even burst into song, which everyone applauded. Ready for a busy day, I check in on a few of the booths as I pass, but everything's running smoothly despite the sudden chill. Odd. Oh well, got a little free time then.

Decide to wander up towards the carousel, see if Zann's around, but catch sight of Hope resting on the bench. "Hey," I say with a wave, then remember she can't really see it anymore & put my hand down. "Some day, huh?"

It's Silence. Recognise 'er voice.

"Some day, yeah. 'Ow you doin', luvvy? Ain't seen you fer a while." Think about 'ow that sounds and smile a bit. "Y'know what I mean."

Woke up'is mornin' annit wuz bloody freezin'. S'a good thin' th'warmin' charms I made up still work; a quick touch an' th'wagon wuz nice'n toasty 'gain. But't wuz still a bit ovva shock lookin' out th'window'n seein' bloody snow.

Well, still had m'boots'n coat, 'n when I got out I could smell hot choc'late from th'cook tent. Ev'rybody's chattin' 'n sharin' food, sayin't's gonna be a busy day. Bit bloody opt'mistic, t'my mind, but I can't help smilin' too. Ev'rybody seems so chipper, s'hard not t'let't catch on. Ruby from th'funnel cake stand's handin' out freebies fer breakfast, all done up with cinnamon'n melted sugar, an'I crunch on't azzi walk 'round. Well, 't looks like a right pretty day, if'n nothin' else.
