I'M Coming Home This Christmas

Christmas is the season of joy! It’s the time to party and enjoy! So I bought whipped-cream cakes for my boy. I wonder if he still thinks of me giving him a toy. I overheard the Christmas anthem on the street. I saw my friend Ernest bopping on his feet. “Would you like to come and do the toast?” I said “Bye! Not now! I still need to roast…” My grocery food bags were as many as Christmas balls. Shall I make a star-spangled dish out of these bowls? And I thought of cooking buttered-chicken with parmesan cheese. My woman loves them much and so I could please. As I was looking at those Christmas lights under the moon, I felt the rush of excitement heading back soon. I was enclosed in isolation for years in a Mideast dome. Yet now is my moment to spend Christmas at home.
