Santa Hat

I've been sporting a Santa hat lately. Not one of my $100+ wigs or my 300 hats, but a Santa hat. I've always worn one, you know, I'm just a little fun sometimes. :) I'm wearing my hat because to me mostly everyone knows I'm in chemo and my hair is gone, so it seems silly to wear my wig around people who already know I'm bald. I feel like a bad magician.

Yesterday I went to the post office (I know, the post office again) and I am standing in line with the rest of Hollywood and this lady walks up to me, stares and me and walks off. I am getting used to the staring part, so I didn't think much about it. Then as I am one away from being called, she walked up to me and said "I think you look ridiculous in that hat." Oh dear, ECT is now unleashed..........

"Would you rather stare at my big bald chemo head" ECT says smiling.

"NEXT, shouts out the postal worker"

I walk up to go get in line and leave the lady with her mouth hanging open. She then follows me to my line and says....

"You know, they make wigs for that" mean old witch says.

"I know, I own two of them, but this is the holiday season and it's supposed to be filled with joy and I find joy in my hat, last time I checked there was no city ordinance against wearing Santa hats in public in Hollywood, FL, so I plan on continuing to wear my hat with or without your blessings, and may your holiday season be filled with love and joy." ECT responds.

Then I go about doing what I went to the post office to do and she just stands there. Finally, a man behind her says "hey, leave her alone, she looks awesome in her Santa hat and I bet it made everyone in here smile." The audience gives a collective nod.

End of the day.....
