The deserted courtyard of a suburban restaurant, the westbank's idea of what "California" must be like, very crowded with bougie types (to quote my students), while we waited for 45 minutes for a table.
A hundred or so feet away the Burger King parking lot where a young man was shot in the head in his car a few nights ago. The police found him slumped over the wheel, the car still running.
Near my mother's home, nestled next to a gated community and strip mall after strip mall, four young Mexican men purchasing a soon to be slaughtered goat for Christmas dinner.
My childhood room....now with cable. The a/c has been running all day, when just a few days ago it was snowing.
Two elderly women in matching Christmas sweaters, one in green, the other in red, both wheeling matching oxygen tanks, eating fried catfish at the table next to us.
The lights in City Park, in the fog, as I drove home.

If I could find two handsome naked mens'es I would definitely trade in the gold lettered pencils and Penobscot baskets to fill out the stockings for both of us to have a Merry Christmas and a Happy Hanukkuh too.

Merry Christmas, Jason. Hope your holidays are fabulous.
Nothing says Christmas to me like like a Tyranosaurus Rex with a red belly.
