It was past midnight last night and a couple of my dearest friends and I were wandering home from a nearby gathering, during the first moments of the new year. The stars shone brightly upon us, a little alcohol warmed our chests, and the future seemed bright. And yet...the New Year celebrations were not yet complete. I needed a salve. I needed a balm. I needed something that would reassure me that life has meaning, it will go on, even though time passes. I needed something to tell me that some of the qualities I tried so hard to hide were actually gifts that would bless the world if I only had the courage to let my little freak flag fly. I needed something bizarre, and oddly cute to set the tone for the new year, and to recharge my batteries as I set forth on a year of creativity. In short, I needed "Rudolph's Shiny New Year" and that little bundle of adorability... "Happy".
Come on lil' friend, don't hide your light under a bushel...
Let it Shine...
And the whole world will love you for the cute lil' dumpling you are...
And characters both real and imagined will come to idolize you and shake your hand!
In case you don't have friends as kind and indulgent as mine, here's the full show, to help you get started on making your new year truly special.
