It's not easy being a curmudgeon during the holidays. Fortunately, I have another alter ego, and I'll be making appearances in that guise this weekend. Look for St. Nicholas himself to stop by the Price Hill Historical Society Museum on Saturday and Sunday, December 5 and 6. He will be there from noon to 2:00 pm both days as part of Price Hill Will's "Holiday on the Hill" days. I had the St. Nicholas costume, my daughter made it for me back when her kids were in preschool so that I'd stop by there to make an appearance each December (it was a Montessori school, so St. Nicholas fit into the curriculum of studying other cultures better than Santa Claus, from what I gather). Anyway, the suit still fits, so I'll break it out again this weekend. Stop by to visit the museum, and if you want to buy some copies of The Collected Old Curmudgeon (they make great holiday gifts) while you are there, I'd be happy to step out of my St. Nick persona briefly to become the Old Curmudgeon again and sign books.
