Christmas in freefall

Merging one day into the next,
the shop-gazing and present-giving,
over-cooking and forced-feeding,
card-hanging and tree-trimming,
runs along through week-end and week-end;

until, beyond the new year's rising,
it merges yet again, in seamless sale-time,
awash with tawdry glittering,
to rival Christmas and its trimming,

which dustily collapses in the end.
