Just for fun
Needless Needles?
by Heather Knight
- You have a lot of balls, coming in here dressed like that.
- And you are plain boring, mate.
- I hate Christmas.
- Why? I think it's a lot of fun. I love the lights, the tinsel. Yes, the tinsel is my favourite.
- What's to like about it? It's just a fluffy rope.
- Why do you have to be so pessimistic? Don't you see how happy all the people around us are? Don't you want to share their happiness?
- No, not really. I'm a victim of Christmas. A bit like the turkey on Thanksgiving Day.
- Seriously? A victim? I see myself as a symbol, an emblem of the season and I'm proud of it.
- You know they'll strip you of those baubles in a few days and you'll die alone in the backyard, don't you?
- Maybe, but now my feet are surrounded by presents and the children love looking at me.
- Shush! It's my turn. They are going to decorate me now. I hope I get a star at the top. Then it won't be so bad.
