A Christmas minstrel playing pipe and tabor. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
This is a pretty important December being that it’s the end of the world as we know it in 21 days. So in honor of that I’ve created a brand new category called December 2012 Book of Days. I will write a post a day describing how I prepared for whatever is going to happen, accompanied by some obscure Christmas music to make it all slightly less boring.
Because today my life was not brimming with excitement. All I did was go to work, sell seven pairs of glasses and see a couple of contact lens patients. Everybody is busy preparing for Christmas as if the end of the world is never going to happen. And maybe it won’t. But it never hurts to brace yourself for it, right?
Here’s how people complained about the cold weather in the 1940′s. They just don’t make Christmas videos like this anymore.

Oh, I loved this. The 1940s were my growing-up years – I graduated from high school in 1950 – and all of this is so familiar.
