Thanks for all those
fun-filled evenings. Hope there will be many more.
That’s the one that confused me most. When did anybody ever have
a fun-filled evening with me, at least one in which I was in some way at least
partly responsible for the fun?
Epiphany was at hand…
You see, I always thought that having a good time was all
about what you did. Now I realise that having a good time isn’t about what you
do, it’s about how you feel. So
sitting in a quiet room with somebody you greatly like, maybe with a drink or
two helping to release the uninhibited child inside, luxuriating in a relaxing,
convivial atmosphere, is having a good time.
Blow me! And I never noticed. Maybe I was convivial company
once… There’s a revelation…
Good old Jacob Marley seems intent on letting his jaw drop
this year.
I think this unexpected epiphany might have resulted from
watching Bill Murray’s Scrooged
again. I’m always blown away by the Ghost of Christmas Present in that film –
the fun-filled fairy lady who keeps beating him up. Now she’s convivial company if ever such a thing existed. May she bless
us, every one.
