12-21-04,So, I have been whining about how Christmas tunes are still too hard on me.
I mean , when tears come to 1984's "Band-Aid" and George Michael's "Last Christmas"...
Well today: I purposefully put some on....
As I put the dishes away ,I conducted an imaginary orchestra with
spatulas, singing along horribly off key -drawing concerned queries from my Mother and daughter...
I felt ok for a few minutes.
Childhood Christmas times began to unfold.
Then like a sharp jab with a giant candy cane : the floodgates opened and the other memories came rushing in.
I stood there in tears after my triumphant orchestral debut.
All this emotional commotion happened during a 3 minute timespan while listening to :
"Deck the Halls".
