But the prettiest sight to see

Every year around this time there will be a day or two when I get Bing Crosby's version* of "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" stuck in my head. I guess today it's because my shopping is all done and it's my last day off until Christmas Day itself. There was no holiday music playing, the air was crisp but not freezing, the sun was out, I got my errands done with a minimum of fuss, and had a street vendor hot dog for breakfast. I felt pretty fucking cheery, for once. (I'm usually more of a bah humbug guy)




*Who else recorded this song, anyways? In my world, NO ONE.
