new friends and family

i'm disappointed in
my gifts
this Christmas.
socks again.
coal.
a plaid tie i'll never wear,
a sweater
with wide stripes
of unearthly colors.
a fruitcake.
a subscription to a gym
that closed.
last years calendar.
batteries to my smoke
alarm,
a six pack of red white
and blue beer.
i make a vow
to find
new friends this year.

Sounds like you made a haul. Pack it off in the corner of a closet. Christmas next year will be here before you know it and you will have a wonderful array of "re-gifts" to choose from for those nearest and dearest.
