The Glow of the Holidays

You know when you’re in the office and you’re like, “well Johnson, it’s a good thing you finished that spreadsheet last week or we’d be in a heap of trouble!” and then you notice a strange tremor pass over Johnson’s face and then you go on to say, “you DID finish that spreadsheet didn’t you?” It was in this manner that I found out that Robin has always sincerely and secretly coveted those little glowing ceramic Christmas villages. I was ribbing her a little bit about  all the holiday bullshit she’s outfitted our house with. She likes to make little arrays I guess you would say. Little holiday scenes. Anyways I was ribbing her about it and then I said something like, “at least you haven’t broken ground on one of those glowing ceramic Christmas villages! ha ha.” And that look that Johnson made passed over her face and then it was all suddenly spilling out of her. ”I like things that glow,” she said. I like things that glow too, Robin.
