Happy New Year

 Wishing you and yours a New Year that brings you everything you want and need. Happy New Year!

Favorite Fictional Character --- Happy

Tonight, sometime around 10:00 p.m., I’ll put on Rudolph’s Shiny New Year (1976), and for fifty minutes I’ll watch Rudolph attempt to find and rescue Happy, the Baby New Year, in time to help the New Year take over from the old. If he fails, time will be stuck on December 31st forever.

Happy is a delightful little tyke. He’s full of life and loves being surrounded by others. Unfortunately, like Rudolph, he has a physical difference that causes people to laugh when they see it. Poor little Happy has ears that are just a bit too big for his head. When he pulls off his hat, his ears pop up, and people immediately start laughing.

Hurt and overwhelmed, Happy runs away to the Archipelago of Last Years, where each island represents a different year in time. He meets plenty of people who could be his friend, but they laugh at him too, so he keeps moving, just wanting to find someone who will accept him.

Of course, Happy eventually learns that they aren’t laughing at him, but laughing from the joy he brings. Like Rudolph, Hermey, and Nestor before him, Happy is a lovable Misfit who simply needed to find his people—and his purpose. It’s a gentle reminder that sometimes belonging doesn’t come from changing who you are, but from finding the place where you’re already enough.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year Everyone!

As we say goodbye to 2009 and usher in 2010 I just wanted to say a quick thank you to everyone for making 2009 a memorable year for me. I started blogging a few months ago and everyone has been welcoming and kind. I look forward to getting to know you better and meeting new blogs in the coming year.

I hope that those of you who are going out tonight have a safe evening filled with all the fun you can handle. For those of you who have already welcomed the New Year I hope you had a great time no matter how you celebrated it in.

I will be staying home with my son and a few close friends. We will spend the time by watching TV, playing games, and reading. We will be feasting on a whole bunch of junk food, including; little smokies, jalapeno poppers, pizza rolls, boneless buffalo wings, Doritos w/hot bean dip, coleslaw, potato salad, and all the pop (non-caffeinated) we can drink.

So have a safe and fun night and I look forward to talking to you all in the next year!
