In the holiday season, people wear the craziest things. They
- in fact - dress up the craziest things: dogs, cats, homes,
cars … the other day, Jude and I were leaving Target after
shopping for Asa (which took us every bit of 90 minutes to
spend just over $9 for his brother's gift) - and Jude
yelled: "Look, Daddy, it's Rudolph!" To my surprise there
was a blue VW Bug dressed up, well, like Rudolph with a
nose, tail, ears, and antlers. Really, it was quite
impressive.
We need to get dressed up.
Holiday wear is tacky wear: christmas sweaters, snuggies,
and mansies (GC understands) abound. Holiday wear is formal
wear: beautiful gowns, Sunday best, red paisley ties.
Holiday wear is commercial: lampposts get in the act,
donning evergreen, more lights cover store signs, Starbucks
forces red upon their cups. Holiday wear changes entire
homes:...
