What's this?

What's this? What's this?
There's color everywhere
What's this?
There's white things in the air
What's this?
I can't believe my eyes
I must be dreaming
Wake up, Jack, this isn't fair
What's this?

What's this? What's this?
There's something very wrong
What's this?
There's people singing songs

What's this?
The streets are lined with
Little creatures laughing
Everybody seems so happy
Have I possibly gone daffy?
What is this?
What's this?

There's children throwing snowballs
Instead of throwing heads
They're busy building toys
And absolutely no one's dead

There's frost on every window
Oh, I can't believe my eyes
And in my bones I feel the warmth
That's coming from inside

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?

Oh my, what now?
The children are asleep
But look, there's nothing underneath
No ghouls, no witches here to scream and scare them
Oh ensnare them, only little cozy things
Secure inside their dreamland
What's this?

The monsters are all missing
And the nightmares can't be found
And in their place there seems to be
Good feeling all around

Instead of screams, I swear
I can hear music in the air
The smell of cakes and pies
Are absolutely everywhere

The sights, the sounds
They're everywhere and all around
I've never felt so good before
This empty place inside of me is filling up
I simply cannot get enough

I want it, oh, I want it
Oh, I want it for my own
I've got to know
I've got to know
What is this place that I have found?
What is this?

Christmas Town? Hmm..

Nightmare Before Christmas
Second Favorite Christmas movie.

Yeah... Christmas is secular/commercial. I mean, I don't know any pagans or wiccans who DON'T celebrate Christmas. Yeah... they say YULE with the in-crowd, but they still want Christmas Presents and Christmas Dinner and family time. I get to work this Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, while an atheistic friend of mine has the weekend off and is heading home for the holiday. Weird, huh?

Also, I get to help a recovering Jehovah's Witness celebrate his first Christmas... helping me see things NEW again. Ever have to describe how to decorate a Christmas Tree to someone... you know... first lights, hiding the wires as much as you can... get them about 6 inches up the branch... then the ornaments... hang then about 2 inches in... heavier ones need to go in deeper... then the tinsel. With cats, I don't have my icicles on the tree... got the silver Mardi Gras beads instead.... and the garland is being rehung every morning. Well, it's also Pixel's first Christmas as well.

Well... food time. Oh... you get to guess what is my FAVORITE CHRISTMAS MOVIE of all time... but here's a hint. "You'll shoot your eye out!"

on this the Feast of Pope Saint Gregory III
