traveling for the holidays

plans

for the holidays, people ask.

are you 

sticking around

or going 

somewhere?

i'm not sure yet, i 

tell them,

i have so many invitations

to respond to.

i'm

sorting through

them

as best i can.

but of course i'm staying

home.

what crazy person

would want

to fly

or drive this time 

of year.

i've got my canned

cranberries,

my pork roast,

my beer

and my remote control.

i'm good

to stay here.
