I just let a big number 2 balloon go into the sky. It’s littering, I know, but tonight I think it may have also provided some folks with a Santa sighting to make their holiday complete…it being 11:58 pm on Christmas Eve and all.
Check that…Christmas day now! Merry Christmas!
See…I just got home from M, L and C’s and I’m stuffed! Ate, Drank and was way Merry! When we got home, I finished up helping Santa with his list and went into a little me time. Not knowing what to do with myself, I went into the guest room and found the big number 2 balloon (don’t ask). She’s been “hanging” around for a few weeks and I thought tonight was the night to liberate her.
I went outside and let that mother go. I watched it disappear into the night and thought of all those houses it was traveling over. If, at just one of those houses, a little child could look up into the sky and see a glint of light reflected off that balloon and believe in Santa…then I think I have done my job. Of littering. Sorry about that. Mylar balloons are bad for sea turtles. But it was still fun to watch and think about Santa and his travels.
Merry Christmas ya’ll!
