| My new book, "The Musubi Man." |
Happy Belated Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day came and went. I like the holiday, but I really love Christmas more. My husband said he really searched high and low in stores for a Chia Pet for me. I love houseplants and I never got a Chia Pet before, so I was really hoping for one.
We didn't exchange gifts for the actual V-Day, but I did get him Green Bay Packer's slip on sandals, and a teeshirt a week before Valentine's Day. He got me chocolates and a forever rose from the Valentine's section of the local drug store, but two weeks before Valentine's Day.
Still, I'm more obsessed with Christmas. I know we didn't get the annual Christmas ornament this past Christmas. So, I was thinking I'd buy a Christmas book. I made a mistake. I should have read it first.
I automatically assume Gingerbread men are Christmas-related. But, they aren't. I don't think I ever read the full story of the "Gingerbread Man," the one that says, "Run, run, run, fast as you can. You can't catch me, I'm the Gingerbread Man." I found a Hawaiian version called "The Musubi Man." There's nothing Christmassy about it. It came in the mail today, and I was totally disappointed. But, I will add it to my Tiki things, because I also collect Tiki mugs. I'm bummed. So, I am still on the hunt for a Hawaiian Christmas book. I guess, I should get the Pidgin version of 'Twas the Night Before Christmas, this time.
Merry All Year Long!
