A Land That Only A Huge Tree Can Understand

Christmas went off without a hitch. My mother gave me a great shirt from Talbot's and the rest of the gifts I will open tomorrow with my brother and sister's families. Hopefully I will get to meet my sister's new puppy. I had a hearty welcome from the lovely staff here at Starbucks. I find myself at a little loss for words right now. The huge tree in The Crystal Court at the IDS tower is beautiful. It is all lit up and seems to be smiling at me. It seems like there should be bells ringing at its base. I feel an under beat today that is trying to move me toward the popular shores. They are not reality, but that is what everyone wants to believe. Maybe there is a bubble in me that I can surround myself with for the day at least. I will just tap my toe to the little drummer boy from Indianapolis.
