Not sure what is wrong with me, but I've been grinch-y recently.
I know it's December and according to the history of my life this means
automatic elf transformation.
(if I wasn't elfin enough to begin with) but for one reason or another:
Grinch Disaster Ensued...
It could be her head wasn't screwed on just right.
It could be perhaps, that her shoes were too tight.
But I think the most likely reason of all, may have been her heart was two sizes too small.
OR
It could be there was no one to hold her tight.
It could be perhaps that it was freezing at night.
But I think the most likely reason of all, may have been that love still hadn't come to call.
I think my heart is plenty big enough... Possibly too big?!
So I put on lots of warm and furry clothing and forced myself to bake.
And to listen to Christmas music.
Forced.
Then I gave up and listened to something else. I decided country was better.
Actually it can get pretty sappy, but if a man was dancing with me and singing in my ear
"Your Man" and he honestly felt that way,
I'd drink the sap right up and I'd come around and say,
Baby all I want for Christmas is you!
But alas, my man still hasn't shown up, called or texted,
or likely even noticed I'm alive, so to sooth my 'grinchyness' I watched Love Actually...
(My favourite Christmas movie. That and Home Alone.)
And the Grinch, with her grinch-feet ice-cold in the snow,
Sat contemplating life... How could it be so?
It came without trying! It came without much wait!
It came without worrying or angst it'd be late!
And she puzzled two hours, till her puzzler was sore,
Then the Grinch thought of something she hadn't before!
Maybe Christmas, she thought is about patience,
If I'm going to have to bear to live (part of) my life alone
Even if I grow impatient for a love to call my own
And when I feel that I, I can't go on,
These precious words keep me hanging on,
I remember Mama said,
You can't hurry love,
No you just have to wait,
She said love don't come easy
(Perhaps...) it's a game of give and take.
And she...
She herself.
The Grinch, listened happily to carols while nibbling cookies,
thinking about the love all around her...
Thinking I need to find, find someone to call mine,
But meanwhile I'll enjoy the Christmas bliss.
That maybe by this time next year,
I'll have have a sweetheart to kiss...
I just knew Christmas had something to do with Motown!
After you watch the aforementioned movies just listen to the Jackson 5 Christmas and
James Brown's "Santa Claus Go Straight To the Ghetto"
(that isn't a grammatical error just so you know)
and you'll be Christmas warm and fuzzy complete, too!
Just about love for a sec...
Yes I know what else does this broken record ever talk about...
But still isn't it funny, both peculiar and laughable, that there always will be
someone out there wanting you, but because they aren't your idea of the right fit,
you just don't remember or care (sorry) and then complain and cry
about the fact you have no one to love and no one loves you.
LOL!
(Okay I sincerely hope I only do this in my head, because that could get annoying fast.
So apologies to everyone who has had to endure any of my lamenting.
However, I'll probably do it again!)
Love... Well it's all around. Just take a look!
