Christmas is in the past. The tattered gift wrap
brought curbside for pick-up by the trash collectors
lies, wilted and bedraggled, on the
tatty gray remains of yesterday's snow.
What looked pretty and inviting as it lay beneath
the Christmas trees now seems like tawdry shards
of our brief excursions
into commercialized generosity.

Those lights look like trippy autumn leaves, Speedway.
So someone in your neighbourhood got a Mickey Mouse toy, a coffee maker and a body pillow. Santa sure has to wade through some weird letters. What on earth is a body pillow?
A body pillow is primarily for side sleepers who may need extra support, especially expectant mothers. It is about the size of a bed pillow, but about 4 feet long.
A book of grwon-ups letters to Santa might make funny reading. We've had enough of kiddies' touching tear jerkers, so how 'bout just plain "touched"?
