I.
unlikely there'll be
a white Christmas once again
when was the last time?

II.
streets are quite empty
but inside trees remain up
Brussels sprouts steaming
---
III.
socially distant
but there's a sprinkle of cheer
at these trying times

Explanation: A set of three haikus relating to the Christmas period - not meant to be taken seriously, and a deviation from my normal style of work. This follows a similar set of (fairly samey) haikus written over the past few years - 'Yuletide Trilogy' (2012), 'Stocking Fillers' (2013), 'Christmas Triptych' (2014), ‘Festive Trio’ (2015), ‘Pulling Crackers’ (2016), Joyeux Noël (2017), Feliz Navidad (2018) and Buon Natale (2019). The title is Swedish for 'Merry Christmas.' All feedback welcome. A link to my Facebook writing page can be found on my HP home page.
