The Holiday Season Begins

December 1, 2013 by Scooter in the Sticks 2 Comments

Signs of the coming holidays are everywhere.  Commercially, retailers have been turning the wheels on the Christmas shopping season for weeks.  Lighting and decorations have appeared on homes and in towns before Thanksgiving. I’m not immune to the buzz and feel the nostalgic pull of holiday memories from long ago.  This year I want to channel that nostalgia into a project or story.

Just don’t know what…

Exploring the extravagant gingerbread towns and other miniature landscapes revealed a scooter making rounds through a snow-covered village.  Perhaps there’s a clue there for some sort of project of my own.  I couldn’t decide which would be colder — the pizzas or the rider’s face.

Let the season unfold and let’s see what happens.

    Love that scooterist!

    It is “starting to look a lot like Christmas” around here too.

    I would love to decorate my scoot with lights and place her in the living room, but she won’t fit and I’d never hear the end of it! LOL
