So, I was listening to the Christmas Channel. Yes, I am the “people” that listen to that station. Anyhoo– the song “Favorite Things” came on and it got me wondering about this person and their favorite things. Not judgin’ here, but you gotta admit that this is a peculiar list–at best.
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Really? Of all of the things in the world… these are a few of her favorite things? I have to tell you in all my years of analyzing rain drops, roses and whiskers I have never thought “golly that is one of my favorite things.”
Now this on the other hand, this is definitely one of my favorite things
So then they go into:
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things
Who on earth finds a doorbell something to get excited about? I give them the ponies and maybe the sleigh bells…
streudels are nice…
never had schnitzel–but bless you anyhow 😉
Frankly, it is too darn cold to go sit outside and watch for a goose with a moon on it’s wings…
Then they go on to sing:
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things
I get the girls in white dresses… but who on earth likes snow in their eyelashes???
When the bee stings
When I’m feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don’t feel so bad
Bright colored crayons and Addie’s name written
Baby girl dolled up in her fairy wings
These are a few of my favorite things
These are a few of my favorite things
