\n\u201cSure! I can\u2019t wait to see those faces. What about you?\u201d
\n\u201cNo, I won\u2019t be home for Christmas.\u201d
\n\u201cReally.\u201d
\n\u201cYeah, my Mom told me: \u2018All I want for Christmas is you\u2019, but stepping into last Christmas wasn\u2019t too holly jolly for me.\u201d
\n\u201cMan, I wish it could be Christmas every day! How come you don’t like Christmas?\u201d
\n\u201cWhat Christmas means to me is: I must be Santa.\u201d
\n\u201cYou must be Santa?\u201d
\n\u201cI must be Santa. For the kids in our community. Plus, the weather outside is frightful.\u201d
\n\u201cIt is but that just makes the fire so much more delightful. Aren\u2019t you dreaming of a white Christmas?\u201d
\n\u201cYes but when I was Santa last Christmas one kid accidentally hit me in my jingles… If you know what I\u00a0mean.\u201d
\n\u201cRight in your sleigh bells?\u201d
\n\u201cYes, so the entire twelve days of Christmas my true love gave to me an ice pack under our Christmas tree.\u201d
\n\u201cMary\u2019s boy child Jesus Christ. That sounds intense.\u201d
\n\u201cIt sure is. The only thing rocking around the Christmas tree for me was pain.\u201d
\n\u201cSo it was a blue Christmas for parts of you?\u201d
\n\u201cYes… Do you know what?\u201d
\n\u201cWhat?\u201d
\n\u201cI don\u2019t know you… Why am I telling you this? I just bought some gas and a coffee off you and now I\u2019m telling you one of my most intimate stories? Why?\u201d
\n\u201cI know why.\u201d
\n\u201cTell me… why?\u201d
\n\u201cDo you know it\u2019s Christmas time at all? This is the most special time of the year and thank god it\u2019s Christmas, because that is when you miss your family most and that is why you had to tell a stranger about your feelings.\u201d
\n\u201cWow… Christmas is coming…\u201d
\n\u201cYep.\u201d
\n\u201cAll through the night…\u201d
\n\u201cYep.\u201d
\n\u201cI better go tell it to the mountain.\u201d
\n\u201cThe mountain?\u201d
\n\u201cMy roommate works out.\u201d
\n\u201cOh, yes you should. Maybe he\u2019ll even spend Christmas with you.\u201d
\n\u201cNo, he\u2019s spending his Christmas in Harlem.\u201d
\n\u201cWell, tell him anyway.\u201d
\n\u201cI will.\u201d
\n\u201cYou can let your sleigh bells rock.\u201d
\n\u201cEhm…\u201d
\n\u201cGo on a one man sleigh ride.\u201d
\n\u201cOk, see you.\u201d
\n\u201cMerry Christmas!\u201d<\/p>\n
