I know, I know. I’ve got pink flamingos on my Christmas tree… but it’s a tradition…
When things are explained, it seems a little less weird to keep some stranges Christmas ornaments like those. This tradition started with my friend and roommate Gabrielle. We lived together during 2 years, in our apartment in Trois-Rivières. The First years of common sharing were stranges and a little complicated some times… it’s not always easy to share your space with a friend. Anyway, she is a wonderful being and I’m not that complicated so in the second and last year we shared, we took a lot of pictures, to have something to remember about… well about the nothing and everything of our every day life.
We had… let’s say “glamorous momenst”, some others really stranges, but I think we meant a lot to each other and when our last Christmas together came, we brought 4 identical ornament and we choose the strangest… let’s say the more unique… that’s more poetic, isn’t it? Any way… I got my 2 pink flamingos and she got hers… Every year, we take a picture of our 2 flamingos and we send it to each other with some note, talking about some Christmas’ pink flamingos invasion… Yeah that’s weird… but I’m OK with it… actually it was my idea.
It’s my idea of the “simple fun” I can find in my everyday life… Get realistic, life usually sucks… but when you put your imagination and your heart in all the things you do… life can’t be greater. I might not change the world or be the next greatest star, but it doesn’t matter because I love what I am doing. Do you?
