On the first day of Christmas…
My true love gave to me
A new pair of long rubber boots.*
And oh, how well they fit.
*I know, I know…before you gets your popcorn and cranberries in a snarl, I knows that a pair of rubber boots is technically two items but Christmas is a time to use your imagination, suspend belief, and apply artistic licence (but honestly I just couldn’t find a partridge that was just the right size and Ken’s feet were getting cold, he’d only brought his summer clothes north, thinking he’s spend his winter in Florida…… )

Judy, this is Joe Maloney’s Canadian sister. Joe and Lance were classmates at George Mason. Is your blog’s name from the Mr. Dressup children’s television program which I loved?
Yes it is. It was my second favourite tv show when I was a kid (the first being The Beverly Hillbillies). Mr Dressup’s tickle trunk was a treasure trove of possibilities, and I could have watched him draw all day. I used to think that I would have liked to have Casey as a friend, especially if he came with the treehouse.
