Temperatures in the 80's two weeks before Christmas. Sleeping on an air mattress as our main bed. Walking around my former place of employment with a "visitor" badge. Apartment living, makeshift furniture, all of our belongings in a Melbourne warehouse.
Our lives have been turned upside down so dramatically we're just about right-side up. On the other side of the earth that is. Change seems almost comfortable. I'm not sure what we'll do for excitement once we get settled into our house.
"What does this have to do with Christmas?", you might be wondering. Well amidst all the new experiences the past three months have brought, I found an oasis -- continuous Christmas music on the local Lite Rock radio station, WLRQ 99.3 FM.
I basked in the familiar tunes that I was used to hearing year after year on DC's All-Christmas music station, WASH 97.1 FM. No matter that it was Spring-time outside, inside my car it was clearly a winter wonderland.
Until today that is.
I was driving home in the midst of comfortable Christmas melodies when it came. I was barely paying attention when the words hit me: "Later on if you wanna, we can dress like Madonna."
What was that? There was more: "Put on some high shade and join the parade."
OK, not. Is this for real? Then came the chorus: "Walkin' round' in women's underwear."
Oh no. In the paraphrased words of Charlie Brown: "Isn't there anyone [at Lite Rock 99.3 FM] who knows what Christmas is all about?"
Thank goodness for Sirius Channel 2.

LOL...I heard part of some Christmas rap today when I was flipping through channels. Something about smoking the X-mas trees..... ;-)
Where can I get a piece of that action? You know, to take the edge off...
I totally have no clue what those words are...I am so saintly. But maybe if I ask Greg he might know. :)
