As you can see it’s the holiday season in NYC. Ready or not it’s the holidays!!! My husband took this picture yesterday at the Channel Gardens in NYC. I don’t quite feel in the Holiday Spirit. I am still angry about the election results and have little patience for the crowds that descend on places like Rock Center at this time of year. I am looking for the Holiday Spirit that is hard to find when you are seething inside.
We are going out to a tree farm this morning to get our Christmas tree. We do this every year. Maybe somewhere along the way when I decorate it I will find that Holiday Spirit.
My Grown Up Christmas List
Do you remember me?
I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you with childhood fantasies
Well I'm all grown up now
I still need help somehow
I'm not a child
But my heart still can dream
So here's my lifelong wish
My grown up Christmas list
Not for myself
But for a world in need
No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
That everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
This is my grown up Christmas list
As children we believe
The grandest sight to see
Was something lovely
Wrapped beneath the tree
But heaven only knows
That packages and bows
Can never heal a hurting human soul
No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
Everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
This is my grown up Christmas list
What is this illusion called the innocence of youth
Maybe only in our blind belief can we ever find the truth
No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
Everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
This is my grown up Christmas list
This is my only lifelong wish
This is my grown up Christmas list
I have to believe that that arc of justice is going to bend someday...it’s just not today. I wish it would hurry though. I don’t know how it’s gong to make through the Vagina Grabbers time.
