When Winter Is Comeing

Julia's newest book:

"When Winter Is Comeing"
I think Julia and George R. R. Martin are working together on this one.

"When Winter Is Comeing":
"This book is deticated to all the little children"

Just like Jesus, Julia ALSO loves all the little children of the world.

"When winter is comeing, what do I do?  I go hicking on the mouintins.  In my snow shoes."

Right on, Julia.  Nothing is better than hicking on the mouintins in snow shoes!  Using snow shoes for traversing the flat snow-covered land is the past, man.  Nowadays anybody who's anybody knows that hicking boots have been replaced by snow shoes when you're heading up a mouintin.

"As I walk through, there is snow on the trees.  There is also snow on my knees!"

I am digging the rhyme scheme here, Jules.

"And when I come home, I lay by the fire, coloring in my coloring book, drinking Hot Cocko."

Hmm.  I'm not sure this book is necessarily appropriate for all the little children if the protagonist is so into Hot Cocko.

"Then I decorate the Christmas tree.  Ornimante by ornimante."

That's totally the way to do it.  Ornimante by ornimante.  

 "And I look out the window to watch my neighbor put away her menorah."

So, does the neighbor do this EVERY year after the narrator decorates her Christmas tree ornimante by ornimante?  Or only on the years on which Hanukkah is over by the time people are buying Christmas trees? 

"And on Christmas, I open my presants - golor!  I sit on the ground and open each one!"

Presants golor!  Lucky girl!

"For Christmas I go away.  When I get to Connecticut, I spin around in my Christmas dress."

Ooh, la la!  It's definitely worth going all the way to Connecticut for the chance to spin in one's Christmas dress!

"I go out to play in the snow.  I make a snowman."

Wow.  That snowman is almost as tall as the girl.  That's some hard snow-making work!

"And when we return back to the mouintens, Not a creature did stur, As we drove up the path."

I can just FEEL the hush over everything as they return back to the mouintens.

"When we got back it was dark out.  And also past my bedtime."

Partying past dark!  Way to celebrate Christmas!

"And the next day at 7:00, I have pancakes and Hot Chocolte."

Hot Chocolte this time, huh?  No more Hot Cocko??  Well, that's a relief!

"My Daddy reads me storeys.  My favorite is 'The Relitives Came."' It makes me drift off to sleep.

It does?  It looks more like she is holding out an invisible offering to the green rectangle God that is underneath her bedroom chandelier.  Either that or making a blank-paged book levitate using some kind of kooky mouintin magic.

"Witer has passed.  It is Spring now.  There is so much to do in winter.  Isn't it true?"

Witer has passed!  Hooray!  Now instead of a green Christmas dress the narrator is sporting a totally cute green tank dress.  And she is apparently a giant, seeing as her head is THAT CLOSE to the sun and the skyline.
