Week Past 12/17-12/23/07
"Winter Begins" is written on the calendar dated Sat 12/22. Very apt. Snow and spinouts greeted the day. A reminder of what to expect in the coming 90 days before spring officially begins. Nonetheless my brother and I decided to take the anticipated mass when I got back from work. It is expected that there'll be more snow the following day Sun 12/23. We were not disappointed. I had to shovel snow in our driveway. The day did not only bring snow but also strong winds causing snow drifts. I was thinking of taking my brother out but caution took the better of us. Still, you wouldn't believe how many people are still out doing their last minute shopping. Here's my take on what they're trying to make:
Neither rain, sleet or snow
Will prevent people to go
Will prevent people to go
To shop 'til they drop
And buy 'til they die
And buy 'til they die
Just to make sure presents are bought
For people precious in their thoughts
For people precious in their thoughts
Christmas is near
And everybody's astir
And everybody's astir
Busy in preparation
For the coming family celebration
For the coming family celebration
Joyful in anticipation
For the coming reunion
For the coming reunion
Gifts must be had
Regardless if the weather is bad
Regardless if the weather is bad
