My Festivus Present
Woman in the Middle | December 14, 2012Over on The Waiting I received my Secret Santa present today as part of the Festivus party! It was oh so exciting to see what I got! I know you all are waiting with barely contained excitement so here it is:
Although you admit to having no knowledge of the Festivus traditions, you have managed, over the years, to do your own ”Annual Airing of the Grievances”, mostly in the month of October. You do a fair amount of kvetching about wind. I guess that’s the only “weather” you folks in Southern California can get worked up about. (In my neck of the woods we have things like extreme Summer heat, Autumn hurricanes, and Winter blizzards— no wonder we look forward to those three days of Spring!— Ah-choo! Or, should I say, “Aaaah! Pollen!)
While those of us living in the Northeast need foul/cold/hot weather gear for all seasons, you, my friend, only need one thing: A wind suit. I’ve chosen one in navy and white, but it’s got some nice lime green piping— which I think gives it a feminine touch! While shopping for your gift, it occurred to me that no Santa Ana wind suit would be complete without headgear. With the protection of your skin, hair, and eyes in mind, I have also chosen for you a lovely netted beekeeper’s hat!
Obviously someone has been poking around my blog! What me, complain about those dratted Santa Ana winds??? Only a few dozen times a year! Can’t you just see me strutting around in my navy and white wind suit with lime green piping? Add to it the bee keeper’s hat and I will be the talk of the town! Mind you, they will be taking about how crazy I am, but who cares? I will be nice and protected in my wind suit and beekeeper’s hat!!
The Festivus party hilarity continues when on December 21st they reveal who gave us our Secret Santa gift!
