Haiku Friday: Christmas Specials, etc.!



So, I spent some time last night with the "Star Wars Holiday Special," and it was just gruesome-good. They weren't kidding about 20 minutes of Wookies yelling at each other!

Let's return to that, then... the good and bad of the Holiday season. Sales, parties, tv, movies, whatever. Just no middle-of-the-road stuff: It has to be great or terrible (or both at once, like the Star Wars Holiday Special).

Here is mine:

Wookies have "Life Day"
A holiday of yelling!
Sound familiar?

Now it is your turn! The winner gets their bio here on Monday, plus maybe a holiday special on Fox. The recipe is 5 syllable for the first line, 7 for the second, and 5 for the third.... now haiku!

    Charlie Brown Special,
    Snoopy decorating house,
    Linus steals the show.

    Nosed Reindeer the other night with Spencer. Just WACK.

    Husband's work party
    In a wine cellar, to boot
    Turns out, Hell IS cold.

    I want a special
    Where the kid rides on Rudolph
    And has his teeth pull'd.

    Is Santa Claus real?
    Ev'ry show, he looks diff'rent -
    Their belief wavers.

    Hill staff wondering
    Who will lose their vacation
    America shrugs

    Advent reminds us
    Patience, prepare, and just wait
    Christmas will come soon enough

    Tree,shivering green,they
    Tenderly toted her down
    To the porched house.

    Depression Christmas
    Generations in the same house.
    Where Angst went to Happy.

    There was always pie,
    Smiling at you from its tin.
    No one went hungry.

    But where was John-Boy?
    Drinking the recipe with old
    Elegant sisters.

    And Grandpa still lusts
    After Grandma while she fumes.
    From dark bedrooms: "Night..."

    Pa and Ma sneak-kiss
    It was not so in Dad's home.
    Pa always gone. Loveless.

    And since he's got the
    Remote,we won't be watching
    The Walton's. Ever.

    "It never happened
    That way," he says.He is angry.
    Lights cigarette.Poor Dad-Boy.
