The other day, after having lunch at P.F. Chang’s (yummy) with my sister-in-law, we decided to take a little stroll down the Kansas City plaza. All of a sudden, Emily stopped. “Look up.” I couldn’t believe my eyes. There in front of us was a genie, not one from a lamp, but one of those crane thing-a-ma-jiggers. Atop this genie was none other than one of Santa’s little helpers. Yes. What was he doing, you ask? Well, he was stringing up the first little shining signs of Christmas. Stop. Before you freak out, as I did initially, chase the Grinch out of your heart and think. It is September. In just 2 short months, there will be a grand ceremony illuminating the Plaza with thousands of magical twinkling lights. In order to make this happen, it will take months of preparation, people. So, I am here to share with you that the preparation has begun.
Jack Skellington said it best:
Oh, look
What’s this?
They’re hanging mistletoe, they kiss
Why that looks so unique, inspired
They’re gathering around to hear a story
Roasting chestnuts on a fire
What’s this?
What’s this?
In here they’ve got a little tree, how queer
And who would ever think
And why?
They’re covering it with tiny little things
They’ve got electric lights on strings
And there’s a smile on everyone
So, now, correct me if I’m wrong
This looks like fun
This looks like fun
Oh, could it be I got my wish?
What’s this?
