How do you celebrate holidays?
View all responses

Well, if someone else is doing fireworks, I’ll go see, but I value my fingers and hearing too much to DIY it. But there is nothing like fireworks on Easter to warm the heart. Or on Arbor Day, or National Salsa Dancing Day (March 11th, mark your calendars. Also, don’t confuse it with National Salsa Day — honoring the spicy condiment on May 1st.) Nothing says holiday like fireworks.

sitting on a wall,
 beside the potted poinsettias,
  a cat grooms itself.

There was an angry, old man from Atlanta
who each winter was tapped to play Santa.
In the suit he would bake,
scratching a beard that was fake,
as he fought Varsity dogs with piles of Mylanta.
