CHRISTMAS CARDS CAN BE HARD (+ Polyphonic Prose)

It's all pretty much what you'd expect this time of year. Greeting cards were filled with happiness and cheer. Every card messages will begin with 'Dear...' Christmas is upon us, now growing near, and soon will all kick into high gear. Seasonal music is all that you'll hear. It's that season of peace we all do revere. Even some nasty folks won't leer or jeer. A time to be a community centre winter volunteer. We're all standing near to friends and peers, selling specialty cards and seasonal souvenirs. The cards this year aren't bleak or drear. It's all pretty much what you'd expect this time of year.
