Bless Us Every One
Yesterday I received an early Christmas gift in the form of a humbling experience. As I walked out the door of a downtown card shop, a person walked past dressed in a rather outlandish outfit. A pair of cut-off lycra shorts were pulled over a pair of shiny taupe tights. They wore a rainbow wig whose luscious waves tumbled hallway down the back of a red hoodie. Atop the wig they sported a pair of short white bunny ears. A blue suede purse rested on one hip and three large but flat Christmas gift bags dangled from the opposite arm. A bouquet of festive mylar balloons tied with red curling ribbon and covered in Christmas cookies and holiday wishes floated above them. I followed behind snapping a photo and rationalizing the invasion by the fact you couldn’t see their face. We met up at the corner and while we waited for some cars to pass I remembered today’s Random Act of Kindness. “Start-up a friendly chat”. “Are you Santa’s Christmas bunny?” I asked
These are some nice and evocative photos, Suzan. I especially like the ones of Aunty Audrey and the likeable, long-haired "git" above whose name, I believe, is Adam.
ReplyDeleteMy apologies to both you and Adam. I googled the word, "git" & its origins date back to the 14th Century. It means "bastard"...not my intention at all. "Bloke", "guy" or "fellow" would have been more appropriate.
ReplyDeleteGot to laugh...Nick "foot in mouth" Hunt strikes again!!
ReplyDeleteNo worries Nic! I knew you wouldn't intentionally insult my baby. :)
