It's that time of year again

Apparently, if you are wearing a top hat, you are a Christmas caroler.



I wonder if I would get asked where I'm caroling if I accessorized the top hat with purple or black lipstick and swirly eyeliner? Because I don't want to give up wearing red velvet skirts for the next month. I don't.

Can you carry a tune in a washtub? You could always sing something disturbing at people.

What on earth would make them think that Top Hat = Caroler? They must've been watching too many "olde-tyme" holiday movies . . .

I definitely think that accessorizing with swirly eyeliner is always a "Do" ;)

Yeah, that's exactly the problem--yuppies watching those "olde tyme" holiday 'classics'. I say make sure you've got a veil or something with some tasteful spiders/webs, and the swirly eyeliner. Then maybe they'll guess "Nightmare Before Christmas".

Oh, I get the comments every year; apparently a top hat (even one decorated with black feathers and a crystal pin) combined with quasi-Victorian looking clothes (long, blood-red velvet skirt and a black high-collar jacket-y overdress) says "caroler" to the average Seattlite. I really don't know why.

I was mostly astonished that I was asked only two days after Thanksgiving. Crazy people.

And skulls and feathers and all those lovely accessory bits are lost to them?

Hmmm, maybe you can work this. Say that you are taking donations for your caroling troup so that you all can afford top hats and be recognized as carolers. Maybe?
