Christmas? In MAY?

Deck the halls with boughs of holly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Tis the season to be jolly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Uh huh, whatever the season is. (Enter that "Happy" viral song here).. Deck-orate with
whateverinthehell the seasonal aisle @ WallyWorld says it is.

Don we now our gay apparel,
Fa la la, la la la, la la la.
Troll the ancient Yule tide carol,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Gay = happy, and who cares if it's the other, to each their own. Sing @ the festival - no matter the season. Fa ra ra ra ra, ra ra ra ra.

See the blazing Yule before us,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Strike the harp and join the chorus.
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Bonfire. Fire pit. Friends gathered, encircled. Can't sing? By all means, join the crowd. Take a selfie.. or a vid... have your own flashmob. Crank the music in the car, singalong (loud) and pretend you're on the stage at Starlight - and - they LOVE you/ (Particularly effective at stoplights with windows rolled down.) "DID YOU SEE/HEAR THAT DUDE? He HAD to be 70!"

Follow me in merry measure,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
While I tell of Yule tide treasure,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Follow, join, lead. Measure = predetermined. I likes that. A method to one's happiness. Treasure - all around. Youth, old, in between. Pricey things, simple things, treasured things.

Whether weather, dark, light, cloudy/grey, blue/puffy, hot/dry/wet/frigid, rainbows, rivers, winds in the trees, happy in the breeze, new places/unknown, old/familiar places - faces..

Fast away the old year passes,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Hail the new, ye lads and lasses,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Uh huh, goes fast. Wrinkles, brown spots, "oh hell, WHERE'S THE BATHROOM" happens. Lemme see, if I retire at 62 I'll make this much (but won't have health insurance, crap).. 65, this much (more).. and 66, even this much more. The yearn for "Take this job and shove it" turns to "Seeya on Monday" ("damnit" under our breaths)

NEW (year) AND NEW lads/lasses. Ahhhhhhhh, the best. In them, we see us, and those before us - with all new features, personalities, spunk. When the need/want for Geritol happens - the miracle of youth perpetuates, uplifts, re-energizes the quality of our life - comforting to know, in a way, we're played forward - by/in them.

Sing we joyous, all together,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Heedless of the wind and weather,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Choose whatever one desires. I like happy, light - no matter the damn weather, partnered/non-partnered, bank balance/lacka bank balance. Uplift (no, not that kind Kim Novak).. Gotta frown? Stand on your head. Worry wart? Glass'a wine instead.

Relax. Enjoy. Breathe deep. Make notes/'videos' with your eyes. Have fun.
Fa ra ra ra ra, ra ra ra ra..... Love, Victurd.

Wow, welcome back. No time long write, no hitchyhike. Good to see you've still got laughter and smiles in your writings, even though you write for you, not us mere hitchhikers.
