I was again unable to find a location to install the Santa Clones this year. It was rather upsetting to realize they’d have to stay cooped up in garbage bags up in the rafters of the garage for yet another year. I tried to let it go and not think about it too much. But perusing the Christmas candy shelves of a local grocery store the other day brought back my disappointment. It was like the universe was rubbing it in. Sigh.
