Thanksgiving last week included a trip to a historic mill where they current owners decorate the mill and area around it. They had a miniature Christmas village set up with animations and lights. A few workers were moving among the small buildings and I thought they should have been dressed as Godzilla.
They also had a Santa Claus museum set up – and I gotta tell you, it creeped me out. The displays were in bad shape for the most part and the animated Santas were disturbing. Worst was a rubber Santa mask – being worn by another Santa. Serial killer much?
The main attraction was the outdoor light show. The crowd was noisy, the flashbulbs from selfies blinding, and strollers wielded as bulky weapons.
But, then the show started with a collective gasp and everyone was still as the lights and music began. There was another gasp as the show ended and the 3.7 million lights came on.
It only lasted a moment and then it was back to “humans in a crowd” aka “jerks”, but for that moment…
In other news…I’ve been doing a lot of folding this past week on a number of origami projects. One of these involves some very tiny modules and a very precise count. And one was missing. I may have miscounted – or a chops-licking Thunder(cat) may have been involved.
Finally… I’m on day three of a headache. It’s not a migraine, but it’s annoying enough to notice pretty much all the time. I’ve taken some Advil which banishes it for a while, but I think I’m just tired and need a break. I did a lot driving for Thanksgiving and didn’t get a lot of rest.
