Christmas

It was sweet.  It was greasy.  It was sticky.  It was purple.  It was sleeping late.  It was overheated.  It was drunk (or at least feeling no pain).  It was pate' on pumpernickel bread.  It was creative.  It was smoky.  It was overpriced.  It was in color.  It was paint-smeared.  It was champagne.  It was the grocery store closing at 6pm Christmas eve.  It was musical.  It was quiet.

It was not cold.  It was not crowded.  It was not noisy.  It was not stressful.  It was not (too) grumpy.  It was not religious.  It was not disastrous.
