The store put out Christmas products today:
A handful of cardinal-and-holly dishes
Horses with sleighbells
And the ornaments people have been asking for since March.

Many of these people will never be back
So I understand wanting to take a memory with them
But why a memory you can only touch for one month of the year?
(Two or three if you have a broader idea of the Christmas season than I do)
Is that season exceptionally suitable for digging up forgotten things?
Or perhaps these customers do want to remember all year round
And they simply have the heart for celebration twelve months of the year
Breaking free of tradition to believe
That joy is not just for the holidays.
