Welcome to another edition of Countdown to Christmas 2024.
I will remind you again this countdown is not some breathless jubilant anticipation of the yuletide holiday.
"Boy! Oh boy! Christmas is almost here!!!"
No, not that.
This countdown is a function of my dread.
"No! Oh no! Christmas is almost here?!?"
So much to do and so little time.
Also this interferes with my naps.
Anyway...
The weather leading up to Christmas has been a bit of a yo-yo.
One day I'm in a long sleeve sweater over a long sleeve shirt and I'm still cold.
A couple days later, I was stripped down to a short sleeve shirt thinking I might need to turn the A/C on.
A few days later, back to the sweater.
Snow Miser and Heat Miser are at WAR!
It is the height of folly to expect cold weather in Christmas when the majority of the planet is not in a cold weather pattern at the time.
Yet so much imagery and music is set around cold and snow at Christmas.
That was "In the Bleak Midwinter" by the cast of the UK version of Ghosts.
What about the folks in Australia?
Check this out!
No "Winter Wonderland" for the folks in Hawaii.
Look, I'm in freaking North Carolina! It might snow up in the mountains at Christmas but I don't expect here in the frickin' middle of the state.
But I'm not in Hawaii or Australia and would settle if things were just at least on the cool side.
Of course now watch! I've written this post and now we'll get a damn blizzard or something.
This is the kind of stress I'm under as we continue the Countdown to Christmas!
And where the @#$%! did I put the Scotch tape?!?!
