" Where's Your Christmas Sprit?"
You’re meant to feel the Christmas spirit
Not just drink it?
Choose your instrument
Your weapon of choice
A Molotov cocktail
would that be nice?
Whiskey, gin, the choice is mine
Martini on the rocks
Not too sweet
Not to dry.
Drink to be merry
Yuletide mirth is but a month away
Christmas is just around the corner
So the corporations say.
choose your destruction
Survive the office party
Pass out in a puddle of your own vomit
but be warned
The hangover will be nasty.
Build a jigsaw puzzle from tiny shards of glass
only the last left standing
Will be the last to tango and dance.

Nice write, Marcus....
Christmas (christ mess) has totally lost its meaning. December has just become a part month. By the way, in Norwegian we use the word Sprit too, this means strong liquor

Agreed, i love Christmas but its not the same as i remember it but that due to growing up i suppose, i guess December has become another month but i love to see my son's face light up on Xmas morning, it makes all the hassle worth it. That was what i was implying with "spirit" well spotted i am a big fan on "play on words". Xmas does seem to be another excuse to get drunk lol.
Many thanks for reading

Imagine how peaceful Christmas would be without the obligatory presents.
Just a chance to be with loved ones and concentrate on keeping warm, some candles and twinkling lights to ward off the dark.. and a large rum by the fire.
Thanks for the read.
