Christmas shopping
See the reflection in the Christmas ball does it tell the truth does it open up and show us all? The presents around the tree are they really exactly what you see?
Is everyone as happy as they appear, are we all relaxed and full of good cheer. Did the food all get to the table without a hitch did everyone get on all day with out thinking someone is a bitch.
Are grannie’s jumpers really brill? Did your sister’s mince pies make you ill. Do you really need another drink , hey , no don’t just chuck those glasses in the sink!
If you are not happy, don’t tell me today because Christmas is supposed to be special and so all has to swept up tidy and hidden away.
The drunk can still beat his wife and uncle nobby can rob a young child of their peaceful life. Nothing changes nothing ends, peace and quiet does not descend. The poor are still poor and hungry the irritable are still brutally angry sadly all the bad things do not go away just because it’s Christmas Day.
