One month after Christmas…

I suppose I should have written this post yesterday. But I didn’t–bah humbug.
I wake up to a text from my old friend, Colt Gill:
“It’s beginning to look a lot like exactlyonemonthafterChristmas…”
Ah Baby-Horse, you always know how to take me back.
Riding the school bus growing up, Colt and I used to mark one-month after that most cherished of holidays with a forlorn alteration to the classic Johnny Mathis song. I don’t remember exactly how it went, but something like:
It’s beginning to look a lot like exactlyonemonthafterChristmas
The toys are all sold ouuuuut.
And now we’re sorry to see
That the holiday will be
Gone from within ouuurrr heaaaarrrrrts
We were in elementary school, after all.
