WHITE CHRISTMASWHITE CHRISTMAS  

I’m dreaming of a color-challenged non-sectarian-nonreligious federal holiday;

 

Just like the ones I (not to exclude you, also) used to know (if knowing is possible);

 

Where the all-inclusive greenery either shines or doesn’t shine (according to your personal

perspective)

 

And non-adult humans listen (unless they are hearing-impaired) to hear vehicle noisemakers of

various sorts in the snow (not meant to offend those in warmer climates where there is no snow).

 

I’m dreaming of a color-challenged non-sectarian-nonreligious federal holiday; with every non-

sectarian non-religious correspondence (not to exclude computer users and emails).

 

May your days be merry and bright, or dark and dismal if you prefer.

 

And may all your non-sectarian non-religious federal holidays be multi-colored.
