I'm guessing you're looking for some kind of a banjo or you wouldn't have found this post. And chances are good that you have in some way connected your banjo need with Christmas. Put those two together and you have Christmas banjo. Isn't that clever. Well, consider this. Rearrange Christmas banjo and what do you have? Banjo Christmas. I wanted to write a post about a Banjo Christmas. See how this works?
Are you reading this well ahead of Christmas? Uh oh. Maybe not. If not, that probably means that the phrase, stuck at Christmas without a gift, means something to you. Whether you're here late or early, either way, read this, and you may get ideas about how to become a hero in the Christmas gift category. To work that out, let me ask a simple question. Do you have any idea about what price you can pay for a banjo? Or have you thought about what kind of banjo? Sorry, that's two questions. In one question, do you have any ideas about what price or what kind of banjo?
Answering that question, or those questions, may require a look at James Joyce or Virginia Woolf. What do I mean? Joyce and Woolf wrote in a style that could be viewed as no style. Their style developed the term stream of consciousness writing, which means that they would think of a subject and write for hours and hours recording anything that came into their minds, with no consideration about grammar, order, spelling, or what makes sense. Yes, they did rewrite (not much), but, even with rewriting, much of what they wrote is practically incomprehensible. But that was the rule. Each understood completely what he or she was saying, even if the average reader couldn't understand any of it. If that sounds like nonsense to you, please don't go away yet, just stay with me for a few moments.
The idea is to use your very own stream of consciousness. Even if it's a tainted stream, as it is with me, let's try it anyway. The rule is to let your imagination run wild. Try to listen for things you might overhear in your mind then write them down without any additional thought. That's another way to define "stream of consciousness". The following paragraph is an example from my own muddy stream using our subject Christmas banjo:
Christmas, don't know, what can I get, better, brother in law, never, tide that binds, banjo, banjo Christmas, Christmas banjo, Xmas banjo, never, not me, same thing, no, late wrapping, good gift, who cares, makes no sense, well playing, tie a yellow ribbon, red ribbon, rags to riches, yellow and black, good gift, great gift, guitar, banjo, what am I doing, who cares, late working, belated, same thing, always, never, metal, metal drummer, drummer boy, little, wood, wooden, little drummer, fife and guitar, drum, banjo, how to play, who plays, too late, he already played, hate the sound of, no, make my own, economy, downturn, family, family project, yes, no, staycation, lost our way, some trip, we're together, diy, me, do it, don't do it, do it all, my way, I did it my way, again for my in law, brother, sister, yourself, do it yourself, late working, working late, hero, come unto me.
This is just so much nonsense, you say. Well, that is just as intended, or better than just as intended, just as expected. Sorry, I must remember that the crazy paragraph above is just an example, not the way I'm trying to write. To make sense again, let me suggest that you try this yourself on the subject of Christmas banjo. You can use any subject for that matter, but, since we are considering banjos . . . Using this procedure may provide insight into your inner mind. Often one is shocked at the revealing messages that are sometimes just below one's surface self. A very revealing ah-ha moment may jump out at you. It may give you a way to determine a unique, great, and perfect Christmas gift, whether you're somewhat stuck at Christmas without a gift or you are shopping early. Good luck to you.
