It seems apparent that you’re looking for some kind of a banjo or you wouldn’t have found this page. I guess chances are good that you have in some way connected your Christmas gift need with banjo. Put those two together and you have banjo Christmas. Isn’t that clever. Well, consider this. Rearrange banjo Christmas and what do you have? Christmas Banjo. I wanted to write an article about a Christmas Banjo. See how this works?

Are you reading this a day or two before Christmas? Maybe not. But if you are, then the phrase, stuck at Christmas without a gift, probably means something to you. Regardless of whether you’re reading this weeks ahead of Christmas or on Christmas eve, follow through with it and you may get ideas about how to come up with a perfect Christmas gift solution. To help with that, let me ask this one question. Do you know what kind of banjo you want? And do you have any idea about what it costs? Okay, sorry, I asked two questions. To ask two in one, do you have any ideas about what kind of banjo you want for what price?

To really answer that question may require a brief encounter with Virginia Woolf or James Joyce. Say what? These two authors wrote in a unique style that often amounted to no style at all. It’s officially referred to as stream of consciousness writing, that is to say they would come up with a subject and write for hours on end recording whatever came into their minds, forgetting about order, grammar, spelling, or sense. Oh, they did some rewriting, but, even with that, a lot of what they wrote is difficult to comprehend. And that’s the key. Each of them understood fully what they were saying, even if the common reader could make no sense of it at all. If that sounds like gobbledygook to you, please don’t click away yet, just bear with me for a moment.

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:

Working late, hero, come unto 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, Christmas, don’t know, what can I get, 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, 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, metal, metal drummer, drummer boy, little, wood, wooden, little drummer, fife and guitar, drum, banjo, how to play, who plays, too late, makes no sense, same thing, always, never, 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, do it yourself, 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.
