Husks of chopped evergreen discarded by the sidewalk tied to trash, weeping pine needles only hope to be compost. Deflated decoration litter the lawns, red and green strewn about lights flickered and burnt out. Expired eggnog, chicken bones, crumpled wrapping paper, empty boxes, metal reindeer, tinsel and broken candy canes. Dead christ is still in the holiday, while we spoke about the night before we forget we can see him the morning after.
