the birthday

drunk out of your mind
on egg nog
and rum
you string a thousand
lights along
the roofline
of your house.
you blow up a giant
balloon sized
snow man,
tethering him into
the ground.
the electric reindeer
and santa
wobble back and forth
as the music
blares from
the loudspeakers.
you attach a lit candle
to the dog's head.
you paint your body
like a candy
cane and run about
naked in the snow
and ice.
only ten more days
till Christmas,
the birth
of Christ.
