Christmas isn’t real

Like any holiday

that is man made

It is a time for families

and those who wish to celebrate

to be together.

Yule feasting is done to help us endure

the long cold winters.

Of yore and of today.

So whether you honour the religious beliefs

or simply want a visit from Santa

Enjoy those who are celebrating with you.

When they know

She stares at me.

Rubbing against the object of her desire.

Either the brush

or my keyboard

trying to get my attention.

When she accidentally

picks up the laser pointer

in her claws

she will turn to me

and stare as if asking

“Make the red dot come out and play!”

She knows.

My cat definitely knows

who and what is needed

in order to play her favorite game.
