Celebrate the Holidays Like Everybody Else

How can 'we' combat the rise of crime in America?
I know you are shopping!
Preparing for the holiday season.
If you would take a few moments...
Your time will be appreciated!

'Just a second!
I purchased a couple gifts for me children.
Let me load them in the car,
And I'll be right with you, okay? '

Sure,
No problem at all!

'Well...
Let's see.
How can 'we' combat the rise of crime in America?
Is that your question? '

Yes it is.
And your response?

'Truth! '

Truth?

'Yes, revealing the truth.
In every aspect of our society.
And eliminate the image of Santa Claus,
Being an overweight benevolent white man.
Riding in a sleigh hoisted by reindeer.
Led by a red nosed one named Rudolph.'

Don't you think some folks will find your comments offensive.
AND, I observed you packing Christmas ornaments in your car!
Did I not?

'Look! You asked me a question and I answered it.
My family and I will celebrate the holidays like everybody else.
I'm a hypocrite!
Not a crusader.

Good luck to you.
And happy holidays!
Here...
Take my address.
We can share philosophies with the aid of some eggnog.
I've got to run!
I'm not finished getting decorations for my tree! '

But what about my question?

'It's the wrong time of the year to be serious about that.
Spring would be a good season for your survey! '
