Verse 1
I want to take this opportunity to point out that the Christmas-season is approaching with an alarming speed. It is recommended that you take proper caution and that all safety measures are put into effect.
A surfeit of sugar, tinsel and Christmas-carols is due to sweep us off our feet and bury us in an avalanche of commercialism.
I don't mean to say that Christmas doesn't have its highlights but exposed to all the stress, underlying meanness and anxiety as i am working in a store, its hard not to see that Christmas brings out a lot of the bad in people.
Verse 2
With that being said i am sure i would appreciate the whole season a great deal more if i would get the chance to actually enjoy it some without having to work through it all.
Being off work for some 5-7 days during the holidays is probably a great way to get into that Christmas spirit that everybody is talking about. Being a child a and unable to puzzle together your father going out to buy the paper in the raging blizzard with Santa walking in shortly thereafter is probably also beneficial for the enjoyment of Christmas.
I cant remember seeing Santa while being young enough to believe in the concept, i can remember his visits to my siblings though. Strange that.
Verse 3
Wishlist:
Redeemable "C" and some "Good things".
See
Chapter 2 and
Chapter 24 . If you can get me these things for my stocking i will gladly dance around the Christmas-tree naked with bells a-jingling!
