It’s coming on Christmas
They’re cutting down trees
They’re putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Man, I love that song. It’s just so quintessential Joni Mitchell for me. It’s just so soft and sad, but kind of hopeful and sentimental. The only video of her singing it I could find was on todou, which is a japanese site and god only knows what their buttons say, so I couldn’t embed it for you. Heh.
I love Christmas time, or Yuletide for you middle english-ers out there. I really do, I love the music, I love the cold, I love caroling with friends and loved ones, I love the food, the drinks, I love the warmth strangers have for each other, the colors… I love it all. The house is decorated, the lights are up, I’m all set.
I wrapped a few presents today, and I stuffed Butch’s stocking because she doesn’t know any better. The tree has been drinking a gallon of water every few days already, that thing is thirstay!
My interest in books has returned with the cold weather and I love curling up on the couch next to the Christmas tree in front of the fireplace and just devouring chapter after chapter. Tis the season for knitting and reading. I want to learn how to knit a hat this year.
