I turned a corner and I saw the strangest thing

In the corner of my eye

and when I turned my head

it was gone

(I took these photos at the Royal BC  Musuem In Victoria, BC )

I was going to write this little post about Thanksgiving and what the Holidays mean to me. I was going to talk about how I lost the Holiday Spirit after the death of my nephew and my cat Wolfgang.

It was an interesting idea- but then I had this image of people passed out on their couches with their phones in their hands, barely able to read because they can’t even move their eyes from left to right.

I could see, clear as day,  that nameless person with dried gravy stuck to the corner of their mouth mumbling in a pumpkin pie induced stupor as they stare into the window to the universe through a small screen in their hand,-“

” Black Friday Oh God Black Friday its coming…make it stop God Make it stop…”

So I thought, why put the effort into entertaining a Zombie ( which can be fun, come to think of it ) when I could be out there talking to  my husband while he makes me his amazing pancakes?

He laughs at my stupid jokes and when I start talking about weird stuff -like when does he think they’ll come up with cell phones that they can surgically implant into the human body- he doesn’t even blink.

He just talks to me about it like I am a regular person.

That’s right, I agree, time to get into that kitchen.

Laugh On Everybody.

Christmas is coming and it is time for me to ask for that impossible to get present.

In the past I have asked for a Fiji Mermaid, a Shrunken Head and a Straight Jacket.

I asked for those things because I thought they were cool and unusual.

 

The thing of it is, nobody thinks that stuff is strange or unusual anymore thanks in part to those emo and goth kids. Because like it or not they put all that sideshow stuff into the mainstream. Sorry punkins, but when you  go to the Mall to hang out or put your look together you are not on the fringe or cutting edge of anything.

You have put a crimp into my Holidays.

I hate crimps.

I don’t even like the way that word sounds.

 

 

So this year I am going to ask for a sweaters with cats on them and stuff for my kitchen and those fluffy bedroom slippers- purple ones that are NOT shaped like animals.

And I am going to ask for those things, beg for those gifts, write and wish and hint for those presents

NON-STOP

because after years and years and years of asking for b0dy parts in jars and vintage  (read USED funeral equipment) I have a sneaky feeling that asking for stuff that comes already gift wrapped from KMART or Fred Myers will totally freak out my friends and family.

I am SO going to enjoy the Holiday Season.

It’s going to be a scream.

The only thing cooler then a Sideshow is a Miniature Sideshow

and the only thing cooler then that is fossilized Dinosaur Poo.

I’m not bitter

Just joyously, unapologetically honest
