Every city, in every state, on every continent on Earth, will have access to the mighty "Snowblowing, Snowsculpturing, Snowplow".
Basically it's a regular snowplow with added plow features. (Kind of like the different blades you use on your food processor).
The driver slips on the shaper for Newington,
and voila...at the end of every block is a giant reindeer sculpture.
Or maybe in Hartford, that driver would opt to do a different shape every block. (Or house by house if he really liked the neighborhood).
po has a big sparkling wreath shaped snow mound, and right down the street, Dr. Bob would have a 9 foot tall sculpture of the Grinch.
Perhaps, or perchance, each and every street corner in the Christian world, would have a lovely oddity sitting right abut the stop sign, or thereabouts.
Instead of those huge piles of snow they plop down, just to block your driveway, create works of art! Your neighbors and you could get together with hot chocolate and decorate the "snow thing". Christmas carols would be heard, quietly, softly, and with much reverence and joy, wafting from one corner to the next, whilst the snow delicately lands, silently, on everyone.
May we all reconnect, in the name of bris, and all remember that it could be, will be, should be, or might be, in the next breath...our time.
She is, this year, my hope for next.
Merry Christmas to all...

What a mean trick to the children of Tortolla. |

I'm gonna go out right now and make a snow angel in memory of [bristolz]. And draw a halo over her head, and fill it with birdseed. |
|
| |
Merry Christmas, [bliss]! |
|

You know bris would have told you to please not fill her head with birdseed...right???? (oh, and ditto). |

I was reading a short while ago about
the
actual song 'White Christmas' and how
Irving Berlin originally had in mind to
write
it from the stance of a well-to-do chap
in
Los Angeles, missing the snowy climes
of
a Christmas time (I take it it doesn't
snow
there). The 'let it snow', naturally then,
being an impossible wish
founded
on younger memories. Of course, the
song, having progressed in the edit
during
writing, became something else. |

I love that song. There is a radio station here that starts playing Christmas carols from Thanksgiving on. |
|
| |
The listeners voted "Im Dreaming Of A White Christmas", by Bing, as the number one all time favorite. Followed closely by the John Lennon classic. |
|
| |
Talk about polar opposites. And the line about "the war is over" becomes even more poignant this year, more to me than ever. |

Those have better not been idle words or I will be very angry with you. So did you? |
|
| |
I did, but snow conditions were crappy. Crusted, sunshiny, head-hurting type. I'll do it again proper next good snowstorm. But hey, the birds liked the fact the seed was on the surface. (In the halo, [bliss], I knew better than trying to make [bris] look seedy!) |
|
| |
I think, to my heart's contentment, that bris would love that:
You, her, and seedy, were all componets of the same post. |
