are you putting up a tree
and buying
gifts, i ask
my atheist friend
Diablo.
i see you covered your
house in lights.
habit, he says.
i like the holidays.
the lights,
the music.
the gathering of people.
it's fun.
the kids love it.
i wish they could take
out that whole
thing about Jesus though.
the virgin birth,
the manger,
the three wise men.
kind of wrecks the whole
holiday spirit
with the guilt
and shame for how we
live our lives,
but we're getting closer
to eliminating
Him from the holiday though,
it's a work in progress.
