Icarus in ellipses #2

I never felt more like singing the blues...in this picture I swear I look as though I am auditioning for Avatar. Nevertheless it does reflect the Christmas look in my living room, even if the laptop camera has saturated everything with an unrealistic hue. It is 6.15 in the morning here, its dark and cold and winter is announcing that a white Christmas is a possibility. The radio is playing Christmas carols and the whole atmosphere is beginning to change. Now that is curious! For most people that has been happening all December (I guess) but I have only just noticed. Now I reckon that is because when I was a child Christmas was never allowed to begin until the 13th of December, when the "huge" birthday treat was my being allowed to turn the Christmas tree lights on. I confess, I used to sneak down in the mornings, early and in the cold and dark to do just that. Small pleasure as it was I loved it and still do. Curious that, how small pleasure bring such heartfelt joy. I should probably say something much more profound about it, but I prefer not to, I just send it out here in its blueness, with a smile and endless ellipses...
