Unwrapping February
When most people think of February, they likely think about love, or Leap Day, or how unforgivably cold the weather is that time of year, and will we ever feel warmth again? Ever?
(Ahem. Pardon me. I’m afraid your Curators are getting a touch of winter madness about them. Even living in a house the size of the Cabinet does not make one immune to the torments of cabin fever.)
Here at the Cabinet–at least this year–February is about GIFTS.
They might be gifts of love . . . or of hate.
They might be ribboned gifts left on your doorstep . . . containing dark secrets instead of dark chocolate.
They might be whispered secrets wrapped in lies or shiny trinkets lined with terrible curses.
Here at the Cabinet, one never knows what one might find, but a good rule of thumb is this: Just because something looks innocuous enough on the outside doesn’t mean it’s so on the inside. And sometimes the smelliest, foulest, most dangerous-looking things you could imagine contain the most wondrously lovely insides . . . if you know just where and how to open them.
Then again, sometimes the smelliest, foulest, most dangerous-looking things are exactly what they appear to be.
Really, the lesson here is that you can’t trust anyone and probably shouldn’t open any gifts, ever. Just in case.
. . . But that wouldn’t be any fun, would it? We certainly don’t think so.
Come help us unwrap this month, and let’s see what it holds in store.
