A Florida Christmas

Greetings of the Season Hairballers,

The world didn’t come to an end as some had predicted.  Here’s hoping they can return the Ferrari they financed for 10 years.

Since we’re still around, here’s the Hairball Gazette’s first annual Christmas offering.

A Florida Christmas©

The traditional poinsettias are tropical plants, but we’ve got miles of plastic ones covered with ants.

Polyester pine garland has replaced Spanish moss and shines in the sun like gooey hair gloss

The inflatable snowmen that grin ear-to-ear will melt in the heat as the C-day draws near

Christmas in Florida’s a very big deal; with a climate like Bethlehem it could look very real

Why not park a camel out in the yard and skip all those cookies just filled up with lard?

Palms stood by the manger on that far away night, so why the fake trees that look such a fright?

Santas are stationed at every mall in town; he’s come on a skateboard, there’s no snow to be found

The true meaning of Christmas is lost in this mess; the electric bill’s soaring but how could they do less

It’s only one day, there’s 364 more, yet it’s there in July when you enter a store

I say peace be to earth and good will to all men as I turn up the a/c, it’s too hot again.

Hairballs to all,
