we are ambushed by carols at every grocer's department store on every radio station and along every sidewalk. it's cold so that everybody is picturesquely bundled up. the stores are alive with purposefully striding humanity. my mailbox overflows with gift catalogs and mystery cash rewards. everyone i meet asks about my holiday dinner and other plans. today i realize that i have forgotten to remember the shame and wonder of christmas amid all this noisome chatter.
