because we need a little Xmas, right this very minute

Yesterday the kid asked if we could put up the Xmas tree. I couldn't come up with any reason to refuse. Lately it has felt as if the world could use a bit more light.

By the way, sorry for the earworm. I actually loathe the referenced song, but like a genre I never listen to, country music, which sounds unbelievably profound when you are broken-hearted, the sentiment of this particular holiday ditty seems especially apt at present. As a friend opined earlier today, the world can always use a little more joy. So, joy to the world my friends.
