Christmas on Halloween (XL story)

Standing on East Sixth Street the weekend after Halloween, I spotted a messy-haired girl stumbling out of a shot bar with three of her equally intoxicated friends.

She lowered herself to the curb and sat down, throwing her head back. At this point, she apparently noticed the sparkling green star holiday decorations stretched across Sixth Street.

“Oh. Oh! Lookie! It’s Christmasss!

“Jungle Bells ... whoops!

“JINGLE bells! Jingle Bells!” she belted out for her giggling friends.

Perhaps these ladies partook of a bit too much eggnog. At least they got the spirit right.
