Hallmark Moments

cookie cutter movies, parading through holiday, with a ho ho ho and mistletoe, angelic beings appear mysteriously, giggling. there’s magic globes of Winter cheer, shaking up the villagers, ski-slope cascades of brunette and blonde hair, billowing. and handsome men falling for each one. North Pole decor to the extreme - where else would most of us peruse this feast? so we compare to our own existence, hollowed out with suffering persistence, yet in a different way the hugs are huge and ours — they belong to **our** hearts.
