I was out grocery shopping with my parents last night. Christmas songs were playing in the supermart, and the cashiers and workers were wearing their Christmas hats. Candy canes and rows and rows of Ferraro Rocher. Christmas deals and turkey and ham and what have you.
Sure seemed like Christmas.
Yes, just 'Christmas'.
No 'Merry'.
Everything seemed a little forced. Oh, except the smiles. No forced Christmas smiles from anyone. In fact, no Christmas smiles at all from anyone.
I know, I know, if there ain't no cheer, you make your own. But you can't blame a man for not wanting to, amidst all the gloom. (Actually you can, but Said Man has this to say to you: Make your own darn cheer then.)
-because this year's lead-up to Christmas seems gloomy like that. still pretty though.
