September purchases
wading through Christmas decor
to get a pair of wellies
Santa's cigarette break
puffing away
the wishes that won't come true
November mall
the ho ho ho horrors
of Christmas shopping
firecracker time
boys counting
neighbours' F-bombs
mulled wine speaking the Christmas party
(sp)icing it up
grandpa's gingerbread woman
wears a bikini
Christmas market fight
in the air
the scent of punch
last office day
riding his business shirt
a herd of reindeer
kindergarten Xmas party
wrapping tinsel around
his first crush
mulled-wine seller
too much sugar
in his sweet talk
rough times
against my will humming
Christmas songs again
keeping warm
the skeleton on his porch
gets a Santa's hat
Christmas baubles
the little girl dabs on
her first glitter make-up
office festive vibes
she plucks all the berries
off the mistletoe
December shopping
to relax I play
the Nightmare Before Christmas
asleep at St Albans
awake at Bosworth field
the Hundred Years of hibernation
Christmas decor store
her husband's practised
smile and nod
December 1st
the boy's Advent calendar says
3 days to Xmas Day
December déjà vu
again it feels like
Last Christmas
