In the midst of this bit of the Christmas season, I have, by hook and crook, many days off of work. But not tomorrow. Tomorrow is the one day I work in the middle of nine days off. Maybe I should look on the bright side. I can't take any more cheese and champagne right now.
And so to tide us over for this day of the cessation of celebrations, I bring to you some Christmas rides from Clerkmanifestoland.
I have always loved Christmas and Amusement Parks, and consider them almost the same thing. Going through Christmastime is like a long, complicated amusement park ride. Just like on a ride, so many of the same things happen over and over; Black Friday, the Christmas Markets, the screening of "The Holiday", the arrival of Santa Claus. And we pass through the glowing lights and pretty stage sets of Christmas, oohing and ahhing in a land of make-believe. Only when it's over do we get out of our ride vehicles and return to regular life.
With all this in mind I have a little rendition of all this. Actually I have five or six different videos of this, but though this one alone neglects to even mention Christmas specifically, it's probably the best reflection of my whimsical thesis.

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.
I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!
One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
