Holiday Fashion: What to wear? by Ron E Porter

There’s no lack of reindeer and Santa sightings this time of year. And I’m not talking “Up on the house top” sightings either. I’m referring to those frolicsome pieces of holiday outerwear.

If you plan to go shopping anytime between now and December 25th, you’ll likely notice holiday commodities displayed with all the intensity of a blizzard; jewelry, cosmetics, boxers, lingerie, pajama pants, lollypops and socks – where did all those socks come from anyway?!? But for true Christmas revelers, these are the low hanging fruit of the holiday cornucopia. For them, the real pursuit is in search of the Holiday Holy Grail, “The Christmas Sweater.”

And pursue it they do. And thank you eBay for contributing to the insanity! Whatever happened to my plain ol’ red and green Christmas sweatshirt? Aunties, grandmas and mothers-in-law have disguised it with Giant Santa’s, Gleeful Snowmen, Intricate Snowflakes, Little Drummer Boys, Lords a Leaping, Golden Rings, Reindeer patterned after hieroglyphics, and Christmas trees of unnatural colors. And they seem to be picking on more than just my beloved sweatshirts.

Just yesterday I saw 1 turtleneck, 2 V-necks, 3 cardigans and a partridge in a pear tree adorned with scenes of penguins wearing Santa tuxedos, snowmen caroling, and angels trimming trees. Penguins in Santa tuxedos? One desecrated sweat shirt pronounced “Such joy can hardly be contained!” Hardly be contained? Hasn’t been contained! As if sweatshirts weren’t sacred enough the craze has enveloped cardigans, turtle necks, tee-shirts ties, socks, belts, coats, hats, gloves and (may the Great Grinch Intervene!) our underwear. Well, not my underwear, of course.

I don’t know about you, but the next time I head out to the company Christmas party, a holiday Broadway show, or midnight mass I’m leaving “The Christmas Sweater” hung with care – in the closet.

Happy Holidays!

Great People!! Great Thoughts

Alexandre Ledru-Rollin

The history of the world is but the
biography of great men.
Thomas Carlyle

The real leader has no need to lead–
he is content to point the way.
Henry Miller

Go to the people. Learn from them. Live with them. Start with what they know. Build with what they have. The best of leaders when the job is done, when the task is accomplished, the people will say we have done it ourselves.
Lao Tzu

If your actions inspire others to dream more,
learn more, do more and become more,
you are a leader.
John Quincy Adams

He who has never learned to obey

(from Big Dog’s Quotes)

Where there is no vision, the people perish.

Henry W. Longfellow

I light my candle from their torches.

The greater a man is in power above others, the more he ought to excel them in virtue. None ought to govern who is not better than the governed.
Publius Syrus

A bold onset is half the battle.
Giuseppe Garibaldi

To be a great leader and so always master of the situation, one must of necessity have been a great thinker in action. An eagle was never yet hatched from a goose’s egg.
James Thomas

Edmund Spenser

He who has learned how to obey will know how to command.
Solon

When I give a minister an order, I leave it to him to find the means to carry it out.
Napoleon Bonaparte

It is impossible to imagine anything which better becomes a ruler than mercy.

Abraham Lincoln

What you cannot enforce /
Do not command.
Sophocles
