Nikki’s right. Totally predictable.
PREDICTABLE OR NOT
I’ve always kind
of enjoyed the whole
“it’s beginning to look
a lot like Christmas”
spiel. The parade
serves as a kickoff
to a month of “loving
each other so Santa will
come” kind of feelings.
Christmas should be
all year. Only, then
we’d go broke. Never
mind. Actually, this year
I have a little spending
cash. Think I’ll get
Nikki something
really special. Jewelry,
maybe. Or better (for me),
lingerie. Maybe I’ll ask
Montana’s opinion.
There she is, setting up
the mics. Women who
aren’t afraid of work rock.
Especially when it would
be my work otherwise.
THE PARADE BEGINS
At ten on the dot. I’ve been
practicing my announcer banter.
