The Christmas House

The Christmas House
We stood freezing outside
As we tried to decide
Whether we would go inside.
 
Drove for miles in the snow.

My mom’s face glistening.
My dad’s rarely listening.
My sibs always dissing.
 
Their senseless gossip chatters.
‘bout nothing that matters.
As the gift wrapping scatters.
 
More guests now arriving.
Doubts about surviving.
Decided to keep driving.
