camels kneel on sand
bright star shines upon wise eyes
seeking lambs and kings
Thank you to everyone who stopped by our snowy little corner of the world this year. A very merry holiday to you all.
Laying there motionless, flat, sometimes buried (if it happens to snow a bit), Santa zombies abound this time of year. In daylight, they appear harmless. Small, red, ruffled lumps of polypropylene and nylon on lawns all over the neighborhood. Perhaps some white and black appears as well, but still, nothing to be alarmed about.
Then night falls.
With a slight, almost undetectable motion, they awake. Accompanied by a horrifying hiss, their deformed bodies slowly rise in the misty December evening. Santa zombies are on the prowl.
And it’s not just Santa rising up every night. He is accompanied by a cavalcade of animated characters from all walks of death. Elves, polar bears, penguins, reindeer, pigs, flamingos, snowmen and even Snoopy creep eerily into form as darkness spreads.
Okay, so they are inflatables, but that doesn’t mean they are harmless. Each one arrives with dire warnings about suffocation, electrocution, poisoning and explosions. And I thought nutcrackers were creepy!
These nocturnal St. Nicks are positively horrifying. Until morning arrives, that is. 
Happy decorating everyone.
You have likely heard of the Elf on the Shelf. Well, our slightly less creepy friend is a Reindeer on a Root Beer.
Merry Christmas to all my family and friends and to everyone that stopped by the blog this year.

Everyone has a story to tell. This is me, telling mine.
I had to find some way to entertain myself, so I made up stories in my mind. One night I started writing them down and never stopped.
