The Saga Continues: clue #3 in “we’re celebrating something big!”
We at Mack Web Solutions have long associated this time of the year with a sense of mystery and wonder. It starts with:
Who in my life is Santa’s spy, reporting on my yearly behavior? Is is my parents, using third party pressure to make sure I behave? Is one of my siblings a plant? Or just a traitor, trying to get in good with the man in red?
The next big question, is, of course:
How does he deliver all those gifts around the world in just one night?
And, of course, the standard:
What is in that big, shiny, beautiful red-and-green box with my name on the tag? Is it the long-awaited pony? Or am I going to open it only to find a babushka-box thing happening, culminating in a pair of socks?
But really, to us, the deepest mystery of all, the one that baffles and confuses and wreaks merry havoc on all Christmas celebrations is…
What did my true love send on day nine?
I mean, we’re pretty clear on days 1-8: a bunch of birds and some bling and even some industrious employees and nutritious milk (He cares about my calcium intake, how cute).
But after that, things get muddy.
Is it nine lords-a-leaping?
Nine ladies dancing?
Nine pipers piping?
Nine drummers drumming?
We’ve heard it so many ways…
And even if we can agree on what he sent me nine of, the question remains:
Why on earth would he think I wanted one of any of those things, let alone nine?
Curious. Curious, indeed.
So. What’s your favorite version of the ninth day?
Also…Merry Christmas from Mack Web Solutions!
