Brown Christmas

We have pulled out our sweaters and coats a few days ago

Because fall has arrived in California

No more "Damn, Southern California's gorgeous weather!!!"

Because it has finally arrived

Cold weather made me buy a new pair of brown leather boots yesterday

Because my poor toes told me to

And I am in love with the idea of stimulating our economy

When fall arrives, it is time for me to think of Christmas

Because I was not born here

I was born in Japan

Where they didn't do Halloween and Thanksgiving when I was little

So I can hand all those responsibilities to my lovely husband

Just because....he was born here

And cooking turkey traumatizes me

By reminding me of my biology class

I am dreaming of a brown Christmas
Brown, Green, Ivory and Silver Christmas

Because I have no other responsibilities

Other than start thinking about Christmas decoration :)
