Yes, Deer!

I’m wearing my banned book Face Mask o’ the Day, and Bow Tie o’ the Day is an homage to A CHRISTMAS STORY—with its bb guns and “You’ll shoot your eye out!” targets. I chose Bow Tie so it would resonate with the reindeer on our four Ties o’ the Day. You know, we do live in the Kingdom o’ Many Deer Hunts here in Utah. My sincere tip to Santa’s reindeer is for them to visit Temple Square to see the Christmas lights at their own peril.

A bigly holiday tie trend, according to these particular ties, seems to be fabric print designs of antler-decorated reindeer. Three of these ties show strings of Christmas lights as the proper primary antler decor. The fourth shows the deer’s antlers be-decked in Christmas tree balls. That reminds me—I haven’t yet written my annual X-mas BALLS post. As always, I will try very hard to keep it clean.

Holiday Tie Tally: 87 Neckties. 19 Bow Ties.

Take A Selfie, It’ll Last Longer

Check out my flannel Face Mask o’ the Day. It is toasty. Bow Ties o’ the Day are decked in Christmas trees and Christmas icons. Ties o’ the Day present holiday characters taking selfies. Here’s my advice for anyone who takes a lot of selfies (myself included): Never let your selfie-taking get in the way of you actually experiencing your adventures. If taking the selfie gets to be more important to you than being a participant in the moment you are experiencing, you are not even living a life. Step back, and just notice your surroundings. Look at the people who are around you. Put down the phone, and step into the frame of your own existence. Somebody else will take a picture—or maybe they won’t. Ultimately, it doesn’t matter if you have photographic proof. You’re alive. Act like it.
