Dear Blog Friends,
Your friendship has meant a lot to me this past year and I thought it would be remiss of me not to tell you all so. This concept of knowing people over the internet seems at times unreal, but your true and kind natures have shone across states and countries to become some of the most honest moments of every day. I wish I could send you all something that you could touch as a tangible token of our friendship, but limited in contact, I offer -
What I Wish You For Christmas.
I wish I could arrive at your door, with a full orchestra and the Morman Tabernacle Choir. We would play Silent Night so soft and slow it would make you cry. I would personally play the cello and the piano and a harp solo (as long as I'm imagining something, might as well make it good, right?) all while conducting the orchestra and hugging you. Then we would play Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas, with me of course at lead vocals, then we'd change the tempo into a rockin' swing version of Jingle Bell Rock, and you and I and all your neighbors would swing dance. Then you and I would go inside and eat waffles with strawberries or cranberries on them and drink tea and hot coco and cider and finish off with a little coffee and Baileys ('cept Miss Coco and Miss Lou, you guys get Starbucks) and we would giggle and exchange gifts of handmade scarves and dusty old books and coffee mugs the size of soupbowls. Of course I would give you big fuzzy slippers and a orange kitten named Walter Mitty or a beta fish named Boutros Boutros Gali.
Then I would leave with one last big hug and more giggles and me and my orchestra would dash away into the night leaving a warm fuzzy glow and candy canes behind.
