I
want to send warm and mirthful greetings to everyone for a Merry Christmas. So, I
am using last year’s photo of the skinny Santa walking the streets of San
Francisco in one of our many outrageous traditions….SantaCon….hundreds,
literally hundreds of folks put on some version of a Santa suit and go from
store to store, bar to bar, Union Square to the Mission, all the while bringing
a light-hearted Christmas spirit to the City.
Nearly
the end of the year. Christmas just a couple of days away. Weather
unseasonable, desperately dry and not much change expected soon. A few
Christmas cookies baked. A few cards sent. A few gifts selected. Not much in
the way of traditional decorations. It seems like an un-traditional season for
me. Not bad, just not quite the pace of many years, not quite the standard that
was generally unmet anyway. And, it seems really fine. Merry Christmas and/or warmest wishes to everyone for whichever holiday you are celebrating at the Solstice!
Love that line; "... not quite the standard that was generally unmet anyway." I think you've touched on a universal Christmas sentiment here. Hope yours was wonderful, in any event.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a merry one, Duff. We have a Santa Race in Breckenridge. All the runners are Santas. (Or at least his helpers.)
