The Clap (per)
How does a non-religious family celebrate the holidays? By clapping like crazy and watching the Christmas Tree blink on and off.
As a family, we are geeks and nerds. My finance gave my son a Clapper for Christmas this year. He laughed and choked and was generally excited. We spent Christmas Eve opening presents and attaching the clapper to anything we could think of.
For 3 days now, it has been attached to the Christmas tree. Unfortunately, there was a thunder storm last night, causing the tree to go on and off like a gay disco. It was pretty random.
We like the clapper. We have devolped a love affair bordering on obsession. I honestly didn’t think they even made these any more. But there it was, on the shelf in Walgreens, calling out to all nerd families…buy me, buy me!
Who knows what the new year will bring now that we have the excitement of the clapper. The clapper + Obama? Well, anything could happen. World peace? No problem.
