A day in a Hallmark Christmas

-



 Dear, Bunny

Today we had the most wonderful time! It is only the 2nd day of December, but It already feels like Christmas! Our first stop was pictures with Santa. He was a jolly old fellow, and told the funniest jokes! My favorite he told was; “Do you know why I never give children money for Christmas? Because we have snow banks up in the north pole and all my assets are frozen!!”

Next we stopped by the library to return a CD. But as we were checking out, A librarian walked up with a smile on her face. She said,

    “Hello! I wanted to let you know we’re having a gingerbread house making event, and there are four spots left if you are interested.”

Four spots left!! We joyfully accepted. There were gumdrops, peppermints, licorice and more to decorate our houses. It was fun to see all the different gingerbread houses everyone made! Once we returned home, we had some hot cocoa with candy canes. Then we went out again to do a little Christmas shopping, I would tell you more, but it is a surprise! After that, we took a break before our main event. Around 4:00, we headed out for Baldwin. When we arrived, we saw them setting up the nativity, I even saw the shepherds had real goats! We walked around the streets and first visited the dance academy, where they were preparing for their Nutcracker show. The dancers had such pretty dresses! And the mouse king was there, he would greet everyone who came in by shouting,

    “Welcome to my kingdom!” Then the Sugar Plum Fairy would correct him,

    “It is not!!” We grabbed some cookies for the road and continued on. Since we had some time, we  ordered a pizza at a nearby Gambino's. While we waited, we heard some carols sung by the choir.

"Christmas time is here!” Once we finished our pizza, we went to see the nativity. we quickly got to a nice spot beside the road to watch the parade. There were fire trucks and floats and so many lights! There was a cute- No, adorable little pony pulling a car.  After the parade, there was a firework show! Gold! Red! Green! Spiraling sparkles like thousands of stars. It seemed to last forever. When it did end, we visited the nativity again and I gave some of my candy that I got from the parade to the people there. Then we all bundled up into the car and listened to Christmas music all the way home. It all came together so perfectly it felt like Hallmark Christmas! I can’t wait for Christmas Day!

Cats

  You know what's funny?  About 50%* of all the stories I have written or thought of are about cats. And 20%* at least have cats in them. That only leaves 30%* for normal non-cat stories. 30%!!* I don't have any cats!! I have been scratched by a cat!!! I am allergic to cats!!! So why do I write so much about cats?  I'm glad you asked. 😉 I have no idea. 😅 Maybe since I don't have a cat and I don't know what it's like to have to clean out a little box and bathe a clawed ball of fury, Maybe I think that cats are just cute and perfect in every way? Maybe. Here's something to think about; When I was little (like, maybe 8) I wrote (or drew. mostly drew :) a story about a dog who was a sheriff trying to catch this cat who was a thief. in the end they fell in love, so no harm no foul and no went to jail. (mostly because you found out that she only stole socks and I guess there are no laws about stealing those) But the funny thing is, by the end of the story, the d...

Long Road Home

-
I'm driving down this small road in the middle of a beautiful forest not knowing where I'm going, but not really caring anyway. All I know is I'm going somewhere and whatever happens I'm having fun. But then My phone pings. The Google Map app floods the screen. "I see that the route you're on now is slow," Google Map says. "But I have found a much better and more efficient route for you to take. Would you like to continue?" Faster is better, right? I start to wonder if I should try something bigger than my little road. Diving in the woods had been fine for so long, I wonder what this new path will be like. "Sure," I say, excitedly pressing "continue".  The directions veer me off my path. There's no turning back now.  The road takes me to a wide speedy highway where I get bumped along by car after car, each clearly going big places. And there are so many places to go now, exits right and left.  Which one is  my exit? Did I ...

Adventures on Cataroo Island Entry 0.1

-
  Entry 0.1 Hello my fellow explorer! This is the first entry in my Private Adventure log book.  Or really I should say the last. But if I put this at the back of the book that wouldn’t make much sense, and you need to read the start to understand the end. Do you see? I am the only one who has permission to look inside this book. So unless you are me (which I know you are not because you are you) you cannot continue reading my extraordinary accounts of my adventures on Cataroo Island. So no matter how much you want to know about what happened to Cataroo Island, rules are rules. Good day. … You’re still reading, aren't you? Fine. I guess since I don’t think you would even listen to me if I said otherwise, You have permission to read on.  BUT! Before you continue, you must promise three things; One, for the safety of Cataroo Island, you will not ever, under any circumstances, share this account with anyone! (Besides trusted friends and relatives if you must) Two, you will t...
