A Christmas Story - 2012

So for the past week, in the office, at home, on errands, whatever/where ever, I have been wearing a deer ear/antlers headband.

Similar to this:



Now that picture is a young guy. I am a geezer. I shave my head, but do share the facial hair with the young man.

People do not know how to react to a geezer wearing antlers. If the geezer smiles, they will smile. If the geezer is serious faced, they avert their eyes. Cashiers in stores try very hard to remain impassive as they and the geezer conduct a transaction. Security guards eye the geezer suspiciously.

Little kids always make me smile. When I see a little kid, a smile is my first reaction.

Little kids smile at geezers with antler things on their heads.

That's what Christmas is about. Children smiling, innocently.







I say that, and I think about the obvious.

I hope everyone's Christmas was the best it could possibly be.

And I wish you peace. Peace on Earth and Goodwill to *all* people.

...quite a few children very happy, Stinky. They may have thought they had seen everything...until they seen you. You should have put one of those big red ball noses on that clowns wear. No? A little too much?
Yes, yes, yes...goodwill to ALL peoples everywhere. And to all a good night!
