That wonderful time of year
when lights bright explode
out from the background
of every house and street
offering a joyful eyeful
some even dare to put Santa on their rooftops
others too smart to get up there
leaving them on the fake snow
on the front porch
hoping the next door neighbor’s dog
doesn’t leave a present?
trees a glow with colours
offerings of joy and Christmas spirit
(and not vodka unfortunately)
so what happens
if you really can\'t stand your in-laws?
where the fuck does one go on Christmas day?
