A Christmas tale from a frozen heart

Day 1,862, 06:28 Published in Norway Norway by West Bergen

Christmas is here, and this is the time of the year when we all get fat. Santa is coming with his jelly belly and drops of his presents for you and me. No, wait, you're not getting anything, 'cause I took your present too! Muhahaha!

Aren't we all dreaming of a white christmas? Snowy hills and trees, sledge ride and skiing? Winter wonderland. Build snowmen in the meadows, sit infront of an open fire and just gaze into the flames with a cup of hot chocolate in your hand? Yes, the winter is a remarkable season. The frost, the low sun and short days. Kids playing outside in the snow, building snowcastles, throwing snowballs at inocent old ladies. No wait, it's the men that throws snowballs at their mother-in-law. And shutting the door in their faces so they can stand outside and freeze.

Christmas is a time to give. Some choose to give presents, other to give their neighbours a really white christmas and throw all the snow in your garden over to the neighbour's. Which just results in him throwing it back into your garden shouting "You fu@#in' idiot of a mother fu@#er! I'm gonna twist you neck you damn S%!t!" and so it goes...

Well, not all neighbours are like that. Some help each other. Hanging up the christmaslights and give them a helping hand shoveling the snow or start the car which has a flat battery due to the frost. Oh, who am I kidding? Nobody does that! We're too busy trying to get our house prettier than the neighbour's. The longest christmaslinks and brightest and highest tree, and on and on... Oh, so the neighbour bought a hot tube? Well, let's get a Jacuzzi! He got a 6 feet tree? Let's get 8 feet and remove the ceiling to make it fit!

That's about it for this time. My very own christmas tale for you! Hope you enjoy at it as much as I enjoyed writing it!
