Embrace the gander at the balcony, you jangling Anthony's.

Welcome to the Blind by podcast.

You're very welcome if you're a new listener.

Consider going back to an earlier episode to familiarize yourself with the lore of this podcast.

It's almost Christmas time, you glorious Yuletide cunts.

Around this time when I was, when I was a a small child in the week leading up to Christmas,

maybe eight years of age. My ma would bring me up to bed and then she'd leave and I'd pretend

that I was asleep. And the reason that I'd pretend that I was asleep is, really what I was doing is I'd open the

curtains and I'd look out the window and stare up into the night sky at all the December stars.

And when I was looking for was Santa Claus going across the sky in his sleigh.

Now if you happen to be listening to this podcast with a child,

some people do, I don't know why,

but if you are listening to this with a child,

maybe fast forward a little bit.

But when I was like eight, when I was eight,

and I believed in Santa Claus,

that's what I'd do around this time of year.

I'd go to the window at night time, and I'd look up into the night sky. I'd look up at the stars. And what I was scanning for were a series of lights, a series of lights, like beads. Going across the sky, I was looking for Santa and his reindeer's. I used to love resting my face against

the glass of the window and seeing the condensation of my breath and just the peacefulness,

the peacefulness of looking up at that sky and truly believing, truly believing, Santa Claus

is up there somewhere because he's getting ready for next week

when he's bringing presents to everybody.
