holiday highs

Rainboots on Wahlbergs and whiskers on Goslings
Bright silver bracelets and warm hotel lodgings
Tiffany-blue packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Green-colored monies and crisp appletinis
New books and old books and cheese tortellinis
Wide airplane seats open right over the wings
These are a few of my favorite things

Little black dresses that make me look thinner
Snowflakes that come down and stick all through dinner
Long winter breaks that blend into Springs
These are a few of my favorite things

When the girl whines
When the teen groans
When I'm feeling riled
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so ... homicidal.


Hey girl, Merry Christmas.
