January walk

Santa Claus and a flag

in a neighbor's window

polona said...: being a foreigner, this probably has a different meaning to me than to americans. but what i see is a senryu with a strong social note.; 6:15 AM
Masago said...: Cool...I assume the flag is from July 4th celebrations.; 6:40 AM
Pat Paulk said...: Why take anything down, the holidays always rotate back around. I like the way he/she thinks.; 4:30 PM
Bill said...: Well, polona, pat's comment (below) may be illuminating. A lot of flags went on display at the time of the invasion of Iraq; some seem still around as a result of inertia. As Santa Claus in mid-January may suggest, it's over.
But, Vaughn, you may be right, and that, again, brings us back to pat's witty observation.; 7:29 PM
J. Andrew Lockhart said...: I love this one -- sounds like me - we were kind of late to take down the Christmas stuff. :); 10:08 PM
Bill said...: I was unusually efficient about that this year, andrew, which may be why I'm being so smug.; 7:32 PM
