In my family though, any idea of a feminine present was totally out of the question. Instead, I received what "Ralphie" wanted so badly in the classic Christmas movie "A Christmas Story." I got a BB gun.
So much for growing up in a male dominated, patriarchal family. I also remember clearly how my heart would ache whenever I would see a girl I wanted to be like.
For example, I so resented my female cousins in their velvet dresses and cream colored tights at Christmas dinners. My gift was usually football related.
Fortunately now those days are over!
Hey, it's OK to wear a pretty dress while watching a football game!
ReplyDeleteJust as I've been singing for many Christmases "All I want for Christmas is my two front teets, my two front teets, my two front teets." :-)
Have a merry one!!!
Merry Christmas to you and yours!
