It’s weird – I always seem to crave Christmas stuff around this time of year. Around Easter, it seems. A friend had a Christmas music book open at her piano the other day, and so played Christmas music to calm down the baby. I felt very happy at the music, not at all like it was the wrong time of year.
I got a Facebook memory the other day, maybe a week or two ago, showing quotes from a favorite Christmas movie, which I had clearly been watching that day, a few years ago.
A day or two ago, I was thinking about a duet for “Santa’s got a brand new bag” that I’d discovered this past Christmas and shared with my cousin. Out of nowhere, it popped into my head. I started wondering if I’d told my mom about the song and considered telling her about it and sending it to her. But I got busy and never did. You know, newborn and all…
And then today, out of nowhere, I kept pulling up bits and quotes in my mind from Die Hard, and I found myself tonight wanting to watch it.
It seems that my brain just goes into a sort of Christmas mode at this time of year. Christmas in July always feels too late, somehow. Springtime Christmas is where my subconscious apparently goes. And I’m totally okay with it. 😛
