Bah Humbug - It's December again! 22 Days to go!

Headless Snowmen

We've all heard of the headless chicken. A saying that is frequently assigned to those who run around with no real purpose or idea of their purpose. 

The concept of a headless chicken living without a head, was highlighted in September this year. BBC Magazine carried an article about a headless chicken that lived for 18 months.

All seems rather contrived, but I suppose, if, like the farmer and his wife, you take care of and feed the headless creature, then, with luck, it may live a full life.

And, so, with this tenuous link - you will find a fair number of tenuous links this year, my theme - it leads us to headless snowmen.

Anything headless conjures up horror films, headless horsemen, zombies and the rest. But this is Christmas, not Halloween (although, if you like Halloween stories, you could always head over to Etsy or Amazonhttps://www.etsy.com/sg-en/listing/163271113/mayan-cocoa-a-halloween-tale-gruesome?ref=shop_home_active_17 and purchase Mayan Cocoa).

Sadly, this year, I have to announce the demise of one of my tree snowmen, through decapitation. 

He does look as if he was trying to stop whoever did it. Or maybe he was trying to pat someone on the head. Whatever, he is headless. And, unlike the chicken, definitely not moving.

I am going to blame the cat ... he keeps removing the decorations and batting them around the floor, like he's Lionel Messi. 

He then looks at me as if he has the right. 

I shall get him back, with a Christmas hat or something ...
