The Best Part Of Navidad...

...is when you're startled awake by a little kid whooping and hollering, after he has woken up and wandered into the living room to see a colourfully lit tree surrounded by wrapped gifts...

"Santa Claus was here! Santa Claus was here! He got me what I wanted! YAY!"

Well, of course, Santa got you what you wanted..you only left him a wish list taped to the fireplace. You know..that little crafted masterpiece that only took you about 6 hours to create with a detailed drawing of the items you wanted and your carefully written words?

Ah to believe in Santa Claus...wouldn't it be awesome to have that little bit of faith in the jolly man in red again? Well who says he's not real? No one's seen him, right? But there's pictures of him everywhere, right? Kind of like Jesus. No one's seen him, but there's pictures of him everywhere and people have faith in him, right? OK, so that comparison alone is going to get me a whole slew of flack ahahaha. Oh well.

Never mistake "paradise" for the house across the road...

Ah the holiday season...how wonderous and awesome it is...so emotional for some and so reflective for others...*smiles*

I know...I know..I've been procrastinating soooo much in updating Mierduka that it's almost unforgivable by some of the 2 or 3 that actually read my beaner ramblings lol, but I'm here now..and I hope I don't disappoint you for much longer...or very much for that matter lol.

As I've always stated...I'm not very smart...I'm not very edukamated..I'm not anything...I don't know half of what I do and barely comprehend what some people do. I'm just...me...and I'll try my beaner hardedestest to post something that is understandable. *smiles*

A while back...YES...I was away from AKA for more than an -hour- *cackles*...I went to the mall...YES one of those malls that is so commercialized that you can see a name-brand even on the damn toilet paper when you're wiping yourself in the crapper.

I did the whole holiday window shopping (pouting and getting tearful at all the things I wish I could get the folks that I love and knowing that I couldn't no matter even if I did have a job again) and the annual Navidad pictures that I have been doing for the last 10 years to put in my Christmas card sendings...and let me tell you..they came out GREAT (huffs on fingertips)! And no...won't post one here...you who reads this don't have the right to...I show a picture, it's a privilege..so CHINGA TU ROÑA and don't bother asking...kgraciasmuch.

As I awaited for the result of my Navidad/Christmas pics...30 mins...(I'mma freakin' impatient beaner ..anything longer than 5 mins it's like mob time! (mea culpa, had to throw an L2 thingie in there :-x) ...wtf are you talkin' about 30 mins ffs!!!)...I sat upon a nice, comfy new couch that the malltards decided to place around the carousel, that was in front of the pic place.

You know what I'm talkin' about...the carousel/merry-go-round...with the golden/silver swirly poles and all the hand-detailed animals and benches on it. The one with so much detail you know it was made and painted by hand and with heart and so beautiful that you just think it's from a fairytale. You wish you could sit on one of the rearing horsies and hug the pole and think Disney-dreams like when you were a little kid!

$2.50 for a 2 minute ride.

Well there goes that fairytale *was what I thought as I handed over the $10 for Artiste, Demo and dM*

I sat upon the comfy couch, looking around at all the holiday decorations abating my time...so pretty they were and smiled. Pine cones, trees with such beautiful heirloom-type of decorations and even the malltards were dressed so holiday-likedy. I loved it.

It's funny that...sitting there...watching all those people and children buying up tickets to get on the ride...they laughed and pointed at each other as it moved 'round and 'round...would get off it and buy another ticket and get back on it and do the same..again and again. It made me think.

That's how life is.

You buy a ticket. Climb aboard. Choose what you want to ride. Laugh and enjoy it. And it doesn't matter how long the ride lasts. Even if you can't get the seat you want. You choose another and you enjoy it. Even if it does only spin 'round and 'round. You get a little bit dizzy and you just close your eyes. Some get sick..and some get a thrill. But yet still they get another ticket and get back on, no matter how good or bad they feel about it.

I sat there getting dizzy watching it pass me by...but watching all those people and children laughing and talking and enjoying themselves....it looked like sooooo much fun. I sat up from lazing on the comfy couch and walked to the vendor...I bought a ticket. $2.50 it was. I saw that the ride was almost ending and I stood by the entrance, ready to go choose a seat, no matter what was left.

I saw all those smiling, happy grownups and kids get off. Hugs and kisses and words of love. It -was- so fairytale that it made me get misty. OK so I get like verklempt ffs...you know -me- I bawl at Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (GO GOOGLE IT BIATCHIS!) at the theme song ffs! *sighs*

I thought about it for a moment, glanced at the ticket and saw that it didn't have an expiration date... it made me smile as I wiped a tear away...and instead decided to go back to sitting on the comfy couch, to await my pics, and let that ride pass me by.

There's no expiration date. I like watching the happy, laughing grownups and kids on the carousel. Watching them and seeing how they are and act on the carousel makes me smile and feel happy. It may pass me by now...but I still have my ticket.

*nestles fat ass on the comfy couch, smiles*

I still have my ticket.

No expiration date on it at all.

Feliz Navidad, Pinches!!!
