It seems that this year, of all years, my holidays have been very unhappy .... There is no tree, no tinsel, no red or green..... no lights, no wonderful smells of pies in the oven, no stockings, nothing. There isn't a fat man bringing joy, or midgets who help, no flying cattle and lastly no red sled to carry them in. The chimes are closed up and the bitterness in people hearts show. I no longer long for that white Christmas, as there is no snow. I did not write Santa for i know he will reply. I put up some things of gold, red and forest green, only to have other people take them down and put it away ..... so my holidays are not a happy ones, and i wish people would stop wishing me a happy holiday .....
