This Christmas… | Ringside Report
By Bethany “BST2” Armstrong
I have been “off the grid” for a while now. My Dad has Stage Four Cancer. Fuck. Is 70 the new 90? This may be our last Christmas together.
In previous years, my sister and I had an unspoken Christmas Challenge… who could find the perfect gift for Dad? What could make the stoic sentimentalist tear up a little bit? Bonus points if he has to leave the room or if he blames it on allergies. Good times.
One year I made a CD of all the weird jingles he used to sing to us. “A little dab will do ya!”, “It’s Shake N Bake and I helped!”, and “Kids are kids. Kids will do things only kids will do!” That was a win.
